Q: Your take please. Happen to be checking out Ci direct investing asset management for a managed portfolio. They have declining management fee starting at .6% On the first 150k and so on 500k it would be .4%.and if you chose the balanced portfolio you would get the portfolio fund mentioned above. This would be at an expense of an additional 2.92% for the Nicola core portfolio fund. Can this make any sense if a person wanted a legacy portfolio. Your valued opinion please and any advice on a better alternative? Basically do you think this fund is worth it? Tks Larry

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you recommend a replacement for this mutual fund; ideally something that gives some exposure to outside NAM markets with some income distribution. If this mutual fund is the best alternative, please feel free to let me know. I held this for few several years; and only up 8% total with no income generation.

Q: 5i opinion on MAW220 please. 8-10yr hold. It is in an employer-sponsored RSP thus not easily exchangeable for an ETF.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5I
Thanks for your great insight to all things investing!
I am trying to help a friend who is very new to investing. He was convinced to invest with an advisor/sales person from Primerica. I am leery and haven't read great things about them online. That could be sour grapes or really anything else for that matter.
My question is; after paying a 2% commision to invest in some AGF funds they show a .4% MER to invest in a fund that only holds a collection of other AGF funds. Each of these funds has another MER of it's own does the original MER include this or is it just compounded fee on top of fee?
If you have any other insight on this "advisor" company or, more broadly, ones operating on similar platforms please shed some light?
Thanks again!
Richard

Q: I have a large (for me) holdings in these two Mawer funds.
I can either keep paying the management fees and the annual capital gain, or sell MAW150 at a loss, or sell both, get hit by a large capital gain (MAW107) and buy Canadian ETF's holding small and mid US stocks.
What'd you do?
Thanks Jerry

Q: 3 years ago I divided my pension 50/50 between MFS Global Equity and Schroder Emerging Markets in an effort to increase my international exposure. I had been 100% in the MFS Global Equity Fund and would have been much better off had I stayed there. I have a couple of options as I see it:
1) Move back to 100% MFS Global Equity Fund (portfolio drops to 20-25% international)
2) Stay the course (portfolio stays at 30% international)
3) #1 plus allocate some non-registered funds to an international ETF to get portfolio back to 30% international (suggestions?)
