Q: Hi Peter and Team
I have followed 5i and my well diversified RRIF now has >20% Tech due to the growth of the 4 companies held. Until recently, only KXS was in the Red but now all 4 look great. Would you consider any for trimming back to keep sector less than 15% and where else should one go for any buy and hold at this record levels ?
Thanks for all the expert guidance!
Peter

Q: Hi 5i Team

When investing monies into a diversified ETF, such as SPY or QQQ, which investment approach provides the best risk-return profile? More specifically, how would you rank the following investment approaches: lump-sum, dollar cost averaging, (DCA) and augmented DCA?

Augmented DCA is a modified version of DCA where the investment strategy is more aggressive if the economy is expanding and more conservative if the economy is contracting. Macroeconomic factors are employed to determine if the economy is expanding or contracting (e.g., market volatility, unemployment rate, and capacity utilization).

If an investor chooses DCA or augmented DCA, over what investment period would be reasonable? Is it 6 months? 9 months? 12 months? 15 months?

Thanks

George

Q: Hi there, in a recent question you mentioned that 'owning insurance companies provides a bit more protection from higher interest rates.'

Please suggest a couple of US insurance companies that you'd consider for this purpose and which one you'd choose and why.

thanks a bunch, M

Q: BNN has adopted a new policy of only having money managers on Market Call which seems a bit much given 5i’s excellent record. I’ve created a New Topic in Forums suggesting we send BNN objections to this. Rod

Q: How can you answer a question on a specific stock when it is not specified in the question? Is there a function on the form that masks the stock subject or something? Usually, your answer identifies the stock, not the case in Patricia's question on the 30th. Please follow up.
Thank you for the great service you provide.
