Investment Q&A

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

Q: Although this UK, NASDAQ listed company is not in your usual wheelhouse, 5i (and Peter in particular) seem quite in tune with the tech area so I am hoping you can provide some information into this company.

It rose about 25% on Friday on its earnings report and has had stellar growth (I think) even without that bump. It is debt free and has money in the bank but does not yet turn a profit. I know individuals who deal with the company and they are quite impressed. Can you provide any further insight into this firm?

Appreciate all that you do.

Q: I was starting to build a position in rio thinking it was a fairly solid dividend payer in the materials sector with some international exposure. It is down almost 4%today. do you think this is on the basis of the decreased copper production due to temporary issues or the sec charges for past executives and likely to smolder for some time. SGould I continue to add or bail. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Interested in placing direct investments in China, Japan & possibly India. Trading market must be US. Primary interest is Technology & Space.
This will be completely separate from our current traditional investments as reviewed occasionally with you over the years. Aside from established players in the above markets, I would consider vertically specialized ETFs that have a strong Bloomberg rating. Please deduct accordingly. Thank you.

Q: Good morning! Could you please give your choice of a Emerging Markets ETF. I have just looked at Goldman Sachs "GEM" which has been recommended. Do you like it or is there another that you would choose. Thanks, as always your opinion is so appreciated.

Q: Hi team, I am looking to diversify a bit more out of North America and was wondering what you think of the above ETF's. What do you think of AIA for Asia or do you recommend a different ETF for this area. Also, at this time which European ETF would you recommend, currency isn't an issue.
As always thanks for your advice.

Q: What do you think of GREK as an investment (and why it’s been falling lately)? The only professional endorsement I’m aware of is James Thorne’s on BNN back in May. I’m wondering if it’s a good time to get in.

Generally speaking, do you frown on country-specific ETFs, or would you make some exceptions (like India or Russia), especially for long term holds? Thanks.
