Q: Hello 5i Team,

Which one of these ETF's would you prefer for a basket of diversified dividend stocks held for the long term (10-20yrs) in a non-reg account with contributions reinvested annually?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning,

Since interest rate are moving higher ,I am looking in investing into Lifecos. My research into ETF has given me FLI. This etf invest in US and Canadian Lifeco and pays a dividend higher than the the individual companies pays. I assume there is a call option in this ETF. Would you recommend this ETF? Is call option good when an ETF is moving higher? As for LCS is this high risk and how can they pay a 12% plus dividend?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Good Day: I'm wondering if you have a recommendation in regard to an ETF for emerging markets that trades on the TSX? I have held ZEM in the past and have no particular concerns but as I now think about re-entering emerging markets it seems prudent to access your wisdom about possible alternatives that might be superior to the BMO product. Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
I have been using Preferred shares as fixed income strategy but would like to ask for your recommendation on traditional bond ETF and a Mutual Fund. (volatility dampening and downside risk protection)
Can you comment on return expectation and whether one should just stay in cash instead of select a bond investment?

Is there another strategy or investment that may be a consideration for inclusion in a well diversified equity portfolio to accommodate volatility dampening like Government bonds are suppose to do(but do not like 0 or negative return)?

Thanks
Dave
