Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Everyone,

If possible I'd like to know what you think of WDS:US please?
I realize it's based in Australia, so not one you follow.

Thank you!

Q: I'm looking to deploy some funds outside of North America, for perspective my portfolio consists of mostly small, growth companies, I can handle very high volatility, and spend time daily managing my holdings and size positions. Have a couple of etf's that would fit my style?

Q: Hello 5i,

We currently have IEMG and AIA at 2% positions. Would EMM be a complimentary ETF to increase foreign exposure as it also has NDIA (India) and BRAZ (Brazil),

Would you have any concerns if all three were @2% positions?

Thank you
D&J

Q: "Is Digital Core REIT (SGX: DCRU.si) currently a sound investment given its recent financial performance, dividend yield, portfolio quality, and sector outlook for global data centre REITs?"

Thanks Rick

Q: Wanting to diversify my holdings to include international markets.

Could you please recommend an ETF for India, Japan, Europe and emerging markets.

What percentage do you recommend to be outside North America?

Thanks Dave

Q: I currently hold modest positions in both FEZ and VGK, and I am evaluating whether to add to my European equity allocation despite the generally weak performance over the last decade. I would value your view on:
• FEZ’s concentrated Eurozone-only exposure vs. VGK’s broader developed-Europe approach (includes UK, Switzerland' I am unsure about the UK’s prospcets),
• how their sector weights differ— financials, industrials, and consumer names,
• concentration risk in FEZ versus the broader diversification of VGK,
• the impact of European macro conditions, rate cuts, and currency trends on each ETF,
• whether it makes strategic sense to overweight Europe at this time,
• and whether increasing one fund offers a clear advantage or if adding to both provides meaningful diversification.
Your reasoning would assist greatly.

Q: Do you have a preference between DXJ and EWJ for Japan equity exposure? DXJ has outperformed historically—largely due to currency hedging but this may not continue. I would value your detailed view —and reasoning on:
• attractiveness of hedged vs. unhedged Japan exposure in the current reckless debt levels,
• fundamental index differences (TOPIX-based vs. WisdomTree dividend/quality tilt),
• concentration risks and sector biases of each,
• DXJ is already held and I could add to it but I wonder what you think of how each ETF fits into strategic vs. tactical allocations,
(whether holding both funds offers diversification? Or would that be unnecessary overlap?)

Q: Do you have a preference between FXI and MCHI for China equity exposure outside pure tech? I would appreciate your rationale e.g. index methodology and coverage (large cap vs broader market), sector weights, liquidity and cost, risk concentration.
Any structural advantages or drawbacks? Assuming portfolio capacity permits, does holding both make sense from an incremental diversification standpoint, or does one ETF sufficiently capture the intended exposure?

Q: AXIA This company is on the NYSE and AMEX. Please provide your comments on the investability of this company.
Thanks

Q: Has NVO fallen to a level you see as attractive?

Q: This ETF share price is sitting at a pretty lofty all time high. Looking at its history, after a run up, it has always had a substantial pull back. Can you comment on the factors you think have led to its current level and whether you think it is still investable here? Thank you.

Q: I've owned FIH.U for six years for a total return of 30% . Though I like their format and know a little about who they invest in I can't help to think I may do better in one of the general India ETF's . Like XID,INDA,INDY,INQQ,EPIor NFTY ..... Could 5i give me the annualized return over five years for these ETF's including FIH.U ? Also an annualized return for the last year so I can see their recent performance under the Trump influence ? ..... Does 5i have a short list of ones that you like ? { I do know that INQQ is internet only } ...... Also could 5i give me a brief synopsis of what each invests in ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: While I could buy a number of international or emerging market ETFs, are there any large cap Canadian stocks that would provide some degree of exposure?

Q: Good Afternoon. I'm still searching for an international etf that suits my needs, that being a 65 y/o retiree who is more concerned with income, albeit with some growth. Most I have looked at have relatively low yields, around 2% or so. Is there such a thing as a high yield international etf? Are there any that use covered calls? Would also prefer hedged to CAD. Cheers.

Q: Hello,
