Q: Greetings to all:
On August 21 , Paulettte asked a question about 1801. My question is
what is difficult about duplicating a fund that only returns 3.36% over
5 years, or do you mean that Global growth and income funds overall
are difficult to duplicate? I have a friend who is trying to put me into some Edgepoint and after reviewing most of their returns I can't see
that as you say about 1801 that any of them are a must own. I think
Mawer has a better lineup of funds. Please explain what you meant about 1801, and give your opinion of my assessment of their funds.
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: My question relates to Warren Buffet's purchase of 5 major Japanese trading companies.

If one likes to mirror Buffet's buys, in your opinion, would you be inclined to follow him into this move?
I believe none of these are traded on USA exchanges.
So if you like the move, is there an ETF that you would suggest in order to participate in this move of his?

Q: Morning Peter and Team,
The National, a Abu-Dhabi based publication, recently published an article stating that several of Alibab's biggest investors in the States (all institutional investors) had swapped billions of dollars in Alibaba's US shares for Hong Kong-listed stocks to avoid potential sanctions and delistings of big Chinese tech companies.
Please comment on how would the process of delisting Chinese stocks from US markets work and and how likely do you see this coming to fruition? Also should it indeed come to past, what would happen to the shares of Chinese tech stocks that were already bought through the US exchanges prior to delisting taking place?
Finally are there ways where retail investors can access overseas stock markets such as the Hongkong Exchanges (HKEX)?
Best regards and thanks for your help.

Q: Can you help us understand the value of holding an ETF such as VEE for foreign exposure and why it is highly recommended to own this ETF? Returns are low with high volatility. The ETF remains below 2018 levels when BABA and Tencent were ~30% less and they make up 12% of the portfolio. Maybe we are nuts but something seems amiss. Why not just buy BABA and Tencent instead? Are there other recommendations for capitalizing on Asian growth outside of China as we do not believe VEE is going to deliver returns for the expected growth in those regions.

Thank you for the great Service
Debbie and Jerry
