Q: Middle East. Thank you for your answer. This is a follow up to that question,
There appears to be a limited number of opportunities in the ME.
However, I understand that some of the Saudis are enormously wealthy. Given that situation is there a BX, APO, BN or BLK kind of company that would offer a positive risk/ reward?
As usual thank you for your help.

Q: With so much media attention recently to the Middle East do you see investment potential there? If so is there one or 2 companies listed in the USA that you could recommend? Alternatively, perhaps you could suggest an etf.

Thanks

Q: I listened to a CIBC webcast today outlining the fact international equities were cheaper then US and possibly Canadian equities based on P/E ratios and are expected to outperform US and possibly Canadian equities in the near term. Interesting sectors discussed were international infrastructure companies, defense, e-commerce and semi-conductors. Could you provide a few Canadian ETF's that would provide exposure to these themes and list you favourite?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi Peter and team,
European ETFs such as the ones listed above have a relatively high concentration of pharmaceuticals. With Trump's plans to curb such imports to the US, do you believe that this will be a headwind for these ETFs?
Your insight is greatly appreciated.
