I was thinking for the total $11,000
20% xbb
30% xic
40% xsp
10% vee
Please advise if there is a possible better alternate
For a smaller portfolio should one consider individual stocks

Q: Good afternoon:
You answered a question about MELI two years ago and stated that you viewed it as "quite risky". Would your view be the same at the current time and current price?
Thank you.

Q: I am interested in some balancing to my overwhelming Canadian holdings.
1. Can you suggest some low MER ETFs to provide US and World (excluding North America)?
2. What do you think of 'fundamental' ETFs compared to those based on 'market cap'? Any suggested names for further research?
The complexity of the expanding ETF field seems self defeating to their intended purpose. Thank you for your guidance.

Q: hello 5i team,
I have about 30 percent of my portfolio in U.S. stocks, which i thankfully bought when the Canadian dollar was high. At the risk of being called the odius name of 'market Timer' i am now considering converting about ten percent of these U. S. dollars into Canadian, hoping to ride up the other side. One candidate that i have looked at cashing in is VWO.US. I have heldthis for quite awhile and am just breaking even. I recently read an article by a resected analyist saying that his company is not betting on emerging markets for awhile yet. Heput forward a pretty reasonable case for this thesis. What do you think about using this etf for this strategy, or at least some of it?
with thanks as always

Q: Hello I am interested in how I could get some exposure to Samsung; perhaps through an ETF here or one in the US. A top ten holding would be preferred, but not necessary. Is the Mawer 102 or 150 likely places to start? Thanks in advance.

Q: For 2015 it was most beneficial to be invested outside Canada. I calculate the cost of the Euro rose 6%, the Pound 12% and the U.S. dollar 13%.These are major changes. There seems to be a rush for investors to invest even more outside of Canada. In my mind if I look at a U.S. non hedged etf or mutual fund I would need to subtract 13% fx change off the posted return to get a pure equity, apples to apples comparison. Keeping in mind trying to play the fx guessing game is pointless, do you see a real danger in loading up on foreign equities after such quick and substantial devaluation of the Canadian dollar. When the Canadian dollar does turn around there will be significant drag on the non hedged returns.

Q: Recently, Vanguard introduced a new etf that tracks international equities ex North America, VIU. I would appreciate your thoughts on this one and also, since it is new and small would you be comfortable holding it now, or suggest another that is similar.
Thank you
Thank you
Q: Peter and team,
Merry Christmas! I've been thinking of some stocks outside Canada and the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy group is on my radar. Their long term chart and divide look good. What are your thoughts on this one?
PS. The rest of my equity portfolio (80% of total)is similar to the 5i model balanced equity portfolio and I have 20 percent of my total invested in short term bonds (cbo and clf) and floating rated HFR.
To fund this purchase, I was thinking of taking down my 5% weighting in HFR.
Thanks!

Do you have another you would recommend instead and would you get a an etf that is hedge to the Cdn $ or non hedged and why?
