Q: A while back I bought a small amount of the PSCH small cap health care fund on your suggestion and it is doing very nicely. I see from watching the comments on WELL, that you also like it. If I have a small amount of cash to deploy (less than a full position), should put it into it WELL or would you advise me to continue to build up the ETF position?

Q: Hi 5i team,
My understanding of momentum investing is to invest in stocks whose price is in a rising pattern in the recent past and to sell stocks that have a downward trend in price in the same period. So if the market switches from ‘growth’ to ‘value’ focused, would the momentum approach be a good choice to capture this change automatically when growth stocks fall and value stocks rise? Can you please expand and comment on the use of momentum investing strategy by ETFs? Please provide comments and thoughts on using this momentum strategy ZXM for asset allocation to Int’l developed markets. Many thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
I have a portfolio of CND stocks, AT, EGLX,ERO,WELL,KRR.XBC, and a portfolio of US listed stocks, DCBO,CRWD,FUBO,MITK,LSPD,PINS,KL. I am comfortable with my holdings and dont plan to sell in the short term. Based on the context of my portfolio, should I decide to hedge my portfolio by buying HUV:CA, as rule of thumb, what % of my portfolio would you think would be adequate to hedge without having to highly dilute my overall returns. I hope I am making sense with the question I am asking.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Thanks,
