Q: Hi 5i team,
I am looking to increase my 'energy'/utility sector by adding two of the following ETF's ICLN, LIT, TAN, or FAN. I do not own any traditional energy stock/ETFs. Concurrently, I would like to increase my US and international exposure. I currently own the following relevant stock/ETFs.
Utility: BEP, AQN
US: VGG, ZSP, XQQ, IWO
International: XEF, VE, ZEM
Which two ETFs would you recommend based on long term growth expectations and geographical diversification of portfolio?

Thank you.

Q: Good day,
I hold BEP.UN;BEPC;BBU;CCL.B;ENB;EMA;H;FTS;CTC; and BAM in a non registered account and thanks to you I have done very well following your Q & A and portfolios. I am down 43% in SU; down 23% in CPD; down 16% in IPL and 6% in POW. Would you add to the winners? Add to the temporary losers or ADD new ones. After today, am tempted to add to SU for sure. Have RRIF and TFSA with pretty balanced sectors. Overall, Overweight in Utilities, Financials and okay with that. Many thanks, Paul

Q: Hello!
Wanting to increase foreign exposure and wondering if now would still be a good time to enter any of these names. Since China appears to have Covid more under control is this a good place to invest especially in consumer discretionary. If entering these names does one wait for pullback or enter now. As well, is it better to go with a mutual fund as opposed to ETFs for international/emerging market exposure?
