Q: I currently own TDB900 and 902. Have now read that TD will be using ETFs to purchase their funds like the ones mentioned. I have held these funds for a long time . So I am wondering if it still ok to hold onto TDB900 and 902 since I am uncertain how this will affect those holdings. Is it time to switch the funds for similar ETFs. Any clarification is appreciated. Thanks Paul.

Q: I have about 150k in an RESP account for my 2 kids ( grade 9 and 12) so next year kid 1 will start withdrawing funds and kid 2 in 4 years. I've maxed out the match up grants so no new contributions. I hold mostly global growth mutual funds and am thinking I should shift to a more conservative dividend aristocrat type of holding. This would maintain equity and start generating some income vs more global growth focus I have used to get to this point. Do you have a suggestion for 1-3 low cost mutual funds or ETFs to generate some income and be good holdings for the drawdown period over the next 8 years.

Q: I have owned this Canadian Small/Midcap in my RRSP since 1995, but in the last few years it was switched to this TML3892. It is way down and I am in the process of replacing my high MER mutual funds with efficient ETF's. What is your opinion of hanging on until it recovers $2 to $3 dollars versus selling it, and what would you recommend instead?

Q: Can you please provide me with the rate of return of this fund. The TD graphing tool only shows the return inclusive of the 2.3% MER. My spouse was asked to vote on converting this fund TD Diversified Monthly Income fund, which I wonder if it is about the same.
Many thanks for your advice

Q: Gentlemen Good Morning,
In your answer to Helen "PIMCO has a high MER of 1.4% but a good since-inception return of 8.99%"
That means total return interest included since inception or by year ?
Thanks Regards

Q: Hi Guys
I have no Healthcare stocks in my portfolio, i was thinking of purchasing the above Mutual fund to cover it. What weighting would you recommend and would you buy 50% now, or take a full weighting. Maybe taking a full weighting is fine as i will not be selling this purchase for years to come. However 2 years out we might see this fund drop maybe 40%..
Your opinion please.
