Q: I asked about a replacement for SIN.UN. You suggested CDZ. That wouldn't be suitable for me. I already have XDV. I was looking for something with a higher rate of return. Would ZWU or ZWC be suitable?

Q: We would like to set up a "joint trading account" with approx. $1000 for our two nephews ages 4 and 2 that they can cash out when they are 18. I want to buy shares in New Flyer for half of the initial amount in each account as their dad works for them. Can you recommend a long term ETF for each account to cover the rest.
Thanks as always!

Q: Do you know, or can you estimate, what portion of the Income Portfolio's yield qualifies as eligible dividends?
Also, are you aware of any income-focused ETFs where the distribution is mostly (65%+, say) eligible dividend?

I would like to buy one of these ETF's for income within a TFSA.

Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Consumer Staples ETF (RHS)
Q: HI Peter, Would you recommend adding to RHS as its price is lower now. Or you would prefer 4-5 companies solid blue chip dividend paying companies to buy and hold ( avoid MER and capture more dividend). In that case also, can you please rank them in order of your preference. UL, PEP, HRL, K, or any other of your favorites.
Much Thanks.
Much Thanks.
Q: Hi 5I research.
What do you think of the new BMO Global Comm. Index ETF, COMM? All I can find is its MER aroung 0.35 and it includes Apple, Netflix, Facebook, Google, Disney and Time Warner, but no Amazon. It opened at $20 and went to 20.42. This is just what I have been looking for to put into my RIF for a long time. Should I go ahead and buy a 3% position or should I wait? If so for how long?
I appreciate your thoughts on this or if you have other suggestions.

Q: In our RRSP we hold the above etfs for US exposure. Does 5i see any sector not covered with these ETFs?
Or would you recommend selling any of these ETFs due to too much overlap? We are approaching retirement, but I don’t think that would be a factor in this question. Thank you

Q: I own TD International Index-e, which has been a solid low-MER performer; however, I noticed that TD now has a new ETF called TD International Equity Index ETF (TPE) which has even lower MER. Does it make sense to switch from the fund to the ETF (in registered accounts, where no capital gain would be triggered)?
