Q: If one was unsure of the current environment does something like FTLS make sense? Are there other more attractive Long/Short ETFs? Thank-you.
Q: Hi 5i Team,
I'm looking for an ETF that would be similar to VE, to invest in Europe, that I could purchase with US funds in an RRSP. I would like the dividend/payout to be at least as high as VE. I might even prefer an ETF with top quality companies in Europe (e.g., top 50, or 100) with a tilt towards industrials/consumer disc/staples, if something like that exists with a decent payout? I'm already overweight in financials and US tech.
I'd appreciate any ideas you might have.
Thank you,
Lisa

Q: Hi there. With the recent uncertainty in the markets, what is your opinion on HYLD.CA?
Does it make sense to be more diversified when deploying new money in this current environment and have a larger amount of investable capital in ETF type funds that pay higher yields- as opposed to individual names? Do you see the Canadian dollar gaining some strength as we head further into 2025?
Thank-you as always!

Q: I see that CNDI trades exceptionally thinly and CNDD trades more, but is leveraged. Do you know of any better non-leveraged inverse ETFs for the Canadian market? Thank-you.

Q: I am seeing higher yields on HISA ETFs vs bond ETFs. Is this right? If so--it seems like unless you want to bet on bonds going up, HISAs are the better option right now for conservative money. What do you think?
Q: I'm debating about this one. On the one hand, useful diversification but, on the other, growing uncertainty about U.S. market and possible tariff-induced inflation. What is your assessment of risk vs. reward over the next couple of years?
Q: Hello 5i
Thank for your detailed reply to my question re: QQQI. As a follow up question, can you give me an indication of how much variability is in the dividend and what would cause this.?
IE: In a large market decline the fund will still decline a lot but it will pay a healthy dividend while I wait or maybe it won’t?
Thank you so much!
Dave

iShares Core MSCI Canadian Quality Dividend Index ETF (XDIV)
Q: I sold my individual dividend stocks and am replacing them with an ETF for simplicity. How would you rate/compare these dividendETFS? Which two do you prefer? I'll put 1 in my rrsp and a another in my TFSA. I am diversified in other countries already. I'm thinking XDIV and XEI might be the safest?

Q: (1) Can you suggest an ETF similar to FEZ but that includes companies outside the Eurozone (i.e. includes Swiss, Swedish and UK companies). I am looking for an ETF that favors large caps, preferably holds not more than a hundred companies. IEV is the closest I could find but it holds over 360 companies. And VGK has over a thousand (>1200).
(2) Am I wrong to think that holding hundreds of companies tends to dilute an ETF’s performance?

Q: Can you give me the two best ETF’s in the US that you would invest in that hold the best Ai stocks. Two ETF’s to hold for three years. Much too hard to pick the individual winners. It would be my first time buying ETF’s.

Thanks!
