Q: Folks can you recommend one or a few ETFs that trade in US dollars that would compare with the ETFs listed. I want to put some US cash into lower beta equities and strategies and am thinking that the ETF fees may be worthwhile to gain the covered call approach and enhanced income that results at the additional cost of sacrificing upside in rising markets. Also any comments on this intended approach for an equity investor who is transitioning from a balanced to an income tilt is appreciated - all the best.

Q: I know that 5i does not cover US companies, however I read Peter's recent article in the FP on US tech companies and the need to have some tech exposure. That being said, for long term growth do you recommend buying into these companies at today's valuations or has that train left the station?
