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

Q: I am trying to increase my international / US stocks allocation with 1 of a few ETFs. I don't need income but some yield would be nice.
How do you feel about emerging markets for the next few years?
Can you please provide suggestions. Would you recommend a large position say around 15% to be meaningful in the portfolio. Long term buy and hold. Thank you for your help.

Q: Hi 5i team,
For my RRSP, I would like to invest in a developed Europe ETF. In your opinion, giving the fallout of the pandemic, would it better to invest in a broad index ETF like VE or a concentrated blue chips index like HXX? Which is your favorite developed Europe ETF for C$ RRSP? Which is your favorite Asia ETF (excluding Japan)? Thanks.

Q: For international (non-NA) exposure, please provide your current opinion about the IGRO ETF. Would you recommend this ETF? Do you see it as a complement holding for dividend-growing (but not high dividend seeking) investors who already own VIGI? Are there any other international ETFs which you would recommend in lieu of IGRO?

Many thanks for your excellent advice, and this wonderful service.

Q: As always, thank you for the great service. In the past few days, there’s been a lot of articles about UK companies being very cheap. I know 5i covers North American stocks, but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the matter and also more specifically about LLoyds (bank). Any ETF for UK exposure?
Thank you.
