Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This is a general market question. I hold too many companies in my equity accounts and would like to reduce the number. On the other hand, my overall portfolio is up more than 11% over he past 3 months. I am overweight financials but I see them as benefitting from potential rate drop. Most of my holdings are growth oriented. I do hold approximately 15% fixed income, short and longer term bonds.

What would be your overall approach given potential rate drop and anticipated slow economic growth? 90% of my holdings are for long term. 10% are trades.

Take as many credits as required.

Thanks for all your help.

Q: Regarding CASH and similar etfs:
Couldn’t the price fall if/when interest rates decrease?
I realize that in such a scenario the price may fall below NAV, but potential buyers may not care until the price falls low enough for the yield to be attractive. In this way, it seems as if they could trade similar to a long bond. If so they could hardly be considered cash alternatives. Your help in understanding this, please.

Q: Happy Holidays everyone! By the time you read this the Holidays should be over and we'll be in 2024 (Question submitted after the closing bell on Friday the 29th). I wish everyone a happy, healthy and richer year.
This question concerns an actively managed Invesco US ETF not available for consultation on your website: SPGP per Invesco's literature is based on the S&P 500 Growth at a Reasonable Price Index (?). It has no holding surpassing 2.1% or lower than .85% and is re-balanced twice a year. It's performance over the last 5 and 10 years is superior to the S&P500.
It seems more favorable to long term holding and sector movements (semi-annual if any) can be quite important. Can you give us your thoughts on this etf and if it has a place in a portfolio risk wise ?
Thank you!

Q: Last year I chose my bank investment by choosing the worst performer from the prior year. I di that wih CM and had a retun of almost 16%.

For 2024 it seems like a nose to nose rate for the worst performing Canadian bank between BNS and TD.

Can you confirm that as of December 29th which was the worst performer?

With Thanks and Happy New Year.
