Investment Q&A

Q: I’m considering setting up a TFSA for a spouse who is not interested in selecting stocks/managing investments.
Should I stick to ETFs or mix ETFs with a few conservative stocks?

Q: I have $800,000.00 from the sale of a house, and am looking for a safe place to park it. There is a possibility of further interest rate cuts, so would a long term bond ETF be a good place?

Q: What is the percentage weight of each of the 11 stock market sectors in Canada today? Thank you

Q: As a follow-up to my previous question, why would higher inflation / interest rates in the USA cause the price to go down of XBB shares which hold 100% Canadian government, provincial, and corporate bonds?

Q: Any particular reason why the India market has seen declines recently? If North American stocks saw a 5% decline, people would be freaking out.

If this a good opportunity to take positions into India ETFs like INDA or INDY?

Q: Hi 5iTeam,

May I please have your comments on the above ETFs. If you have to choice one out of these 2, which one would be your choice and why?

Also, in your opinion, are there better options on the market right now.

Thanks and deduct as many credits as you deem fit.

Q: In a C$Cash account, Is there an advantage buying HXS or VFV? Which one do you recommend and why?

Q: Hello 5i
I notice that you have often mentioned Harvest etf’s in relation to tax efficiency. I haven’t paid too much attention to this in the past. But, now I am interested. I have searched the questions but don’t seem to find what I am looking for. Currently in a non-registered account I hold some vbal. I don’t like the taxes i will pay, though. I want to switch to something more tax efficient.

How exactly does Harvest manage not to require to pay taxes on dividends? I know they re invest the money but i don’t know how that works.

What would be the downside? Higher mer, i imagine. Anything else?

I would be looking for a general market etf, either Canadian or US, or both, if available. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.
Thankyou

Q: Peter, as ETF go you seem to like ZWB and ZWU. Do you think it is better than Harvest funds and why?? I have had HHL and are very with it.Thanks for your oninion Ken
