Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi there. I am looking for a dividend growth company or ETF to add to our kids RESP with a 10 year time horizon. What do you recommend from the 5i Research universe to initiate a position in now. After the initial purchase, I intend to dollar cost average on an ongoing basis. I already have Telus, Abbvie, and BMO in two other accounts and those are my highest dividend payers.

Q: hi folks:

on any and all mid to long timelines, BNS has VASTLY underperformed both RY and TD

i suspect this is the latin exposure, followed up with crappy mgmt

at what point does an investor (or 5i) admit you/we are collectively wrong, and drop it from our/your preferred status?

do you have a serious blind spot?

honest question, because the evidence is quite clear this is not in the same league as td or ry


and yes, i make may own decisions, and take full responsibility for my actions

thanks again, and please note that while this is a fairly minor issue, i find your service is top notch

Q: I noted and likely your strategy to add to XHY for income and possible capital gains. However, when I looked at high yield corp. bond ETFs, ZJK looked better overall. There is also the matter of CAD hedging. I'm looking to park cash for my 2023 RIF withdrawal this December and I've been using the BMO HISA for this. Can I have your opinion on using ZJK or XHY instead for about 2% higher income?

Q: Hi 5i,

Is there an explanation somewhere as to the meaning of the % at the bottom right corner of the Income Model Portfolio? The headings are: Portfolio; Benchmark; Active. An explanation of each line in the chart would help me understand the relevance.

Thanks for the help.
John
