Vanguard Total International Stock (VXUS)
Q: Good morning 5i
Thank you for the new website. Its great.
I bought VXUS... thank you. I am well diversified with equities and will have some Canadian dollars to spend after I shave some of my winners (which there are many..thank you) in my RRIF. What would you suggest in the form of an ETF? Europe? Japan UK Australia??? etc??? VXUS being international may cause an overlap but perhaps there is one area that you are particularily in favour of?? Do you expect more growth in the near to medium term (3 to 5 years) in any of these areas? Or should I plan this as a long term (5 to 10 year) investment. Thank you for your timely and priceless answers.

Q: Hi 5i: Two questions - please deduct points as appropriate.
(1) I'm looking for a good telecom stock to complete a sector allocation. I hold BCE and Telus in another portfolio, so am considering Rogers. Can you suggest any others, preferably US, or perhaps a US Telco oriented ETF?
(2) As above, for the utility sector of the portfolio; a US utility, or a US utility ETF.
Your advice would be much appreciated. Regards Roland

Q: I have noticed that many ETF's traded on US markets offer lower MER's than similar ones in Canada. Do you recommend owning US based ETF's in my RRSP or does it just add too much complexity for the average investor?
Q: Which would you expect to perform better in a rising rate environment? PR slightly (by about 1%) outperformed HPR over the past 2+ years (since inception of PR), has a higher MER and both are actively managed.
Q: Im looking to add an etf for foreign diversification in my rrsp portfolio. Long time horizon. I just want to "set it and forget it" for this particular etf. I already hold VEE in a half weighting. Looking for low MER and broad diversification across different countries. Any thoughts? Thanks again.
Q: What is your opinion ofXEG buy sell or hold.
Q: A Money Saver Magazine had a interesting article (Richard Morrison, July August 2017) regarding that you should invest in places that you would be willing to live and places with low corruption. Denmark #1, New Zealand, Singapore,Sweden and Switzerland were among countries with the higher scores ahead of Canada #8 and the United States #18. Dividend yields are over 4% on the New Zealand and Switzerland etfs and company holding appear solid.
Are there any countries around the world that you are most bullish on and would you comfortable investing in the above etfs say 10-20% of a portfolio of a 30 something year old?

Q: What is your top Canadian Aggregate Bond ETF?
Q: Hi!
I'm a new investor who is interested mostly in ETFs and mutual funds. I'd like to diversify my portfolio by region (e.g. Canada, US, global, international, emerging).
I have some cash on hand that I would like to invest. However, given the ongoing bull market, I'm concerned about an imminent correction. I was wondering if you could suggest some places to invest. Is it safe to invest in international or emerging markets at this moment? Or should I keep my money in cash and wait for a correction?
Thanks!
