Q: Has the objectives of Silver Wheaton changed since re-naming to Wheaton Precious Metals? And is it necessary to own both silver and gold from the perspective of a precious metals hedge against risk? I have WPM at a loss and considering selling for tax reasons, and deciding between a shift to SSO or topping up on FNV or AEM.

Q: Do I really need gold (XGD)?

I know 5i regards gold as an insurance/flight-to-safety hedge, but over ~ 10 years of investing, gold (XGD) has only lost me money. So, based on:

(a) http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/19/retirement/retirement-savings-gold/index.html and
(b) May 08, 2017 - Asked by Harry 'you can use TIPS securities under ticker TIP',

I'm considering replacing all my XGD (2.2% of portfolio; keeping RTM and ZCL in Basic Materials sector) with TIP ETF (10-year returns: TIP: +13.2%, XGD: -30%).

Would very much value you thoughts on this. Thank you.
