Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Our Technology exposure across all accounts is 20.52%, which is concerning me. Without selling any CSU or LMN, which I plan to keep 'forever', could you please rank the following ETFs in order of which to sell outright, or reduce. Each ETF is followed by the percentage of Technology stocks that it holds:

QQC.F (62.51%)
VFV (39.6%)
XGRO (21.06%)

We have some other ETFs that we want to keep, and their Technology holdings are all less than 15%.

The proceeds from the sale/reduction in the three ETFs above will be used to increase holdings in under represented sectors.

The three ETFs noted all have good profits. No commissions will have to be paid with these transactions.

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

How would you rank these ETFs, XEI, XEQT, VFV, QDTE, for a 10 year hold?

Q: Can you please provide couple of names for great ESG ETF ( Canada and US or global) ? Thank you for your great services. Santoso

Q: Where is the safest ETF to put cash in for a decent yield?

Q: hi, what would be your current top ETF for China, and why? also, if you were to buy individual China stocks today, which ones would you be looking at ( I assume on the US exchanges?)?
cheers, Chris

Q: Good morning all; I've a two part question for you, First, the listed investments are in a RRIF. The current plan is to extract only dividend income, and have some modest stock growth.

I have funds for one more position and I'd like 3 of your suggestions that would add decent dividend income with modest growth of stock value.

Second question is about XLB. It was originally purchased as a post-inflation investment looking for some appreciation as rates declined. While Canada may get a bit more downward adjustment I believe Trump policy will be inflationary. What would be a sound replacement, meeting the dividend and growth goals for the account?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: I have only heard of EQL recently. How does it compare to XUS?

Thanks

Q: Besides IGV (US) and XIT (CA), can you recommend any other software ETFs ? Any that focus on small to mid cap software ? Thank you .

Q: I hold both Xli and Vis in my rrif. Is there a us industrial etf which you favour? I would hope for some stability with growth. I would prefer to have only one ie merge the above , but am open to suggestions. Thanks very much
Tom

Q: Which one do you prefer and why?

Q: It is rare that I ask this question coming from an 84 year old senior, but all the above equal weighted ETF's are presently in my TFSA and can't decide how to invest for the 2025 contribution. Which ETF I should I be adding to the above list or should I be adding a new one that is not in the portfolio?
Also are any of those listed that do not belong in a TFSA?
Thanks for your usual great service.

Q: What would be the iShares equivalent of VGG:CA? Thank you

Q: What are you thoughts on this one for Income. Is the value slowly being eroded due to ROC ? Any other red flags ?

Q: How the dollar work with the hedged bond

Q: Good Day
Is there an equal weight ETF for S+P 500 like RSP traded in Canada ?
Thanks

Q: Your thoughts on this fund. I have had it for three years and it has done nothing. It is 5% position. I thought it would balance my portfolio with some emerging markets, but it seems like more of a boat anchor. Should I keep it for the long term or move on.
Thanks
