Q: Hi gang ,
I am looking into buying between VYM OR VFMV. That would be in my granddaughter’s RESP account.
Which one would you prefer or do you have any alternative. Probably 10 years buy and forget.
Thanks. Happy holidays .

Q: Are there any broad US market ETF's that I can buy in Canadian dollars that will be neutral to whether the Canadian dollar goes up or down vs the US. I am worried that if I convert too much money to USD at the current rate, it might backfire on me if our dollar somehow rallies, (which seems unlikely right now, but who knows)

Q: I'm looking for a way to invest in Korea given its long term prospects vs the short-term volatility and negativity due to the political events happening in the country. When I look at the RSI for this ETF it's at 30 which indicates it's becoming highly oversold.

I realise Korea growth is forecasted to be slower than the US but I'm looking for a bit of geographical diversification.

Any good ETFs to suggest to play this investment thesis?

Q: I have these five ETFs in RESPs for my grandchildren: VCN, VFV, VMO, XAW, XIT.
This seems excessive, so I would like to consolidate: can you tell where there is overlap, and which three I should focus on for the future. Or should I sell 3 and add a new one? Or should I just keep all 5 and top up one of them? They have all done fairly well, but I feel more of a US focus going forward might be appropriate. If I'm gong to have a technology ETF, it should probably be USA? Thank you very much for all you have done for me over the years, much appreciated, and Happy 2025 to all at 5i.

Q: Happy new year 5I! (this question is not urgent),

Given how far the Canadian dollar has fallen, in an RRSP is there any merit to switching a VIG to VGH if one thinks the CAD will bottom soon and then slowly work its way up by 9-10% in value over the coming years?

Thank you for all your insight in 2024!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am pondering selling some positions in my cash account and buy a few USD income producing investments. Could you please give me your opinions and analysis of OBDC and OCSL given the current interest rate and macro outlook?

SCHD is an EFT I have heard a lot about and looks like a quality holding in an income focused portfolio. Are there any other U.S. ETFs with a similar yield that you would recommend as an alternative or addition to SCHD?

Finally what are the tax implications for a Canadian holding these investments in a non-registered account?

Thanks for the Great Service and Happy Holidays!

Colin
