Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I've discussed my Flutter shares with BMO Investorline representatives (and their backroom) for a couple of days now. The PDYPF shares are NOT ADRs but I'm not sure what they are. Are they CDIs (Depository Interest)? BMO IL says that I can only sell my shares on the LSE but to do that my shares need to be converted to FLTR. I see no logical reason they could not be converted to FLUT and sold on the NYSE. I don't think I am being given the right answer. Do you know what a PDYPF share actually is??

Q: Please, rank from most to least recommended and why? Are there any companies outside of Canada that you think might be preferable? If so, how would you rank them? If there is any other information that you believe might be useful then let me know.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is an unusual question that I think I know the answer but looking for validation. I bought the largest Russian utility company before Putin invaded the Ukraine. Shortly after, the stock...I guess all Russian stocks...was delisted from the NYSE. I conclude it is a total loss...am I right? However I was wondering if it might ever be reinstated...for example in 5 years from now. If so would I still have claim to my stocks? Please tell me if all this thinking is impossible and this is just a tax loss conclusion. Your opinion please! Thank you!

Q: I expected an announcement from Flutter today about our PDYPF shares. Is there going to be a "forced sale" of our shares on Jan. 29 or will they be converted to the NYSE listed shares. What do we need to do if we want to retain the shares? If there is a forced sale, who pays the commissions? In short, what's happening that shareholders need to know?

Q: Good afternoon all;

I have a developing opinion (still sorting it out) that it may be time to increase overseas holdings; I have underrepresented them significantly in the past 5 years. I am particularly looking at the African and SE Asian (ex China) economies. While I understand these may not be questions fully in your wheelhouse, your views would be appreciated.

- Do you concur that, subject to Black Swan events, we could expect overseas economies to outperform Canada in the coming few years?
- What geographic areas would you put focus on?
- Do you have 2 or 3 ETF's that may suit such a strategy? DGS is one that has peaked my curiosity.

Thanks for your assistance as always.

Q: Hi,
I am under weight in both international and fixed income.
I have US$ cash in both my RSRP and TFSA that I'd like to invest in these areas.
Can you recommend some US$ ETF's.
Much appreciated.

Q: VEE has not done much in my portfolio over the years and as a result its weighting in portfolio has dropped. I would like to add to my emerging markets exposure but I am hesitant to invest in china with the growing tensions in the south China seas. Is there a liquid ETF that will give me the exposure I desire without the China risk.

Q: 3 years ago I divided my pension 50/50 between MFS Global Equity and Schroder Emerging Markets in an effort to increase my international exposure. I had been 100% in the MFS Global Equity Fund and would have been much better off had I stayed there. I have a couple of options as I see it:

1) Move back to 100% MFS Global Equity Fund (portfolio drops to 20-25% international)
2) Stay the course (portfolio stays at 30% international)
3) #1 plus allocate some non-registered funds to an international ETF to get portfolio back to 30% international (suggestions?)
