Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I am struggling a little finding an equity growth or dividend ETF to hold in a RRSP account. One to cover US equities and one to cover CDN financials. I am looking at something like VIG,VYM or VTI but is listed on the TSE. Was looking at VCE to cover the CDN financials. Any comments or alternate suggestions in these categories would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Paul

Q: I have app. 10% of my portfolio in ZRE. It has taken quite a hit recently. What do you see ahead for this sector? I am thinking of selling some of it and putting it into the US index fund VFV. Right now my asset allocation is 30% CA dividend stocks, 10% REITS, 10% EAFE, 10% High Yield Bonds (CHB) and 30% US (VUS and VFV), 10% CASH.
Q: In your answer to the question from Denis regarding how many stocks are required to own a diversified income portfolio of $125K and what weighting you would give for each stock, your answer was 20-25 stocks with an equal weighting of 5% to 4%. I have three questions:
In general, is this number of stocks also the optimum for a portfolio of $300K assuming the weighting is similar?
At what value would a portfolio be considered too small to hold individual stocks and should hold ETFs instead?
Finally, how should one calculate the optimum weighting of ETFs if they are already in a portfolio that also holds individual stocks?
Thanks so much for your excellent service and I hope that you all had a great Canada Day weekend.

Q: Re: CPD question posed today. On the TSX web site it says the dividend is 5.75% which is not bad. My question is when is the fund fee taken out of the earnings? Is 5.75% pre-fees or post-fees.
