Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the recent sell off, have any of the above stocks (contained in either the Income or Balanced Portfolios) reached the stage where you would call them "table-pounding buys"? In other words, has the market overreacted and the pendulum has swung too far?

Obviously, there is always the chance of a continued downdraft, but at some point you just step in top up your holdings.

The Income Portfolio is sitting on 10% cash...any thought to deploying some of it soon? Thanks...Steve

Q: I have been reviewing your Income Portfolio. We have decided to bring all of the assets remaining with an Investment Company over to our non-registered account. Tired of paying the high fees and realizing that the rate of return is less than what we have been achieving ourselves over the past 5 years, in part due to the advice received through all the questions and answers on various topics we are able to read each day!
Considering the markets today, would you invest in the Income Portfolio in total ? Over what period of time? What changes you would make? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Q: Hello,
As per Morningstar’s equity style box the 5i portfolio stocks fall under following categories.
BE:- Large = 8, medium = 9 , small = 9,
value = 5, blend = 5, growth = 16
Inc:- Large = 4, Medium = 4, small = 11,
value = 9, blend =6, growth = 4
Is that the strategy you have implemented for the 5i portfolios. Are the classifications accurate in terms of value,blend and growth.

Thanks for all the good work

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I am currently invested in various etfs under my wife and my registered accounts.
1) I would like to make BE portfolio as my core portfolio with about 20 stocks in it. Which stocks should I exclude and also please recommend 5 to 10 stocks from the Income portfolio
2) Should I split the portfolio holdings between my wife and my registered accounts to reduce the transaction costs or it is a good strategy to keep the same holdings as a separate portfolio in our accounts. We have an investment timeframe of 15+ years.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research,
I am in the process of copying your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio.
So far I have purchased 9 items, but before I go to far, I wonder if perhaps you have some suggestions for me how to go about it the best way ? Any tips and suggestion are appreciated. Thanks for your service and keep it up, I like it.

Q: Good Morning
In my portfolio review AUG/16 you suggested the following for my fixed income portion (50%) of my rrif- xhy 5.6%, Clf 5.7%, MDL 240 14.1%, XSH 12.3%, ZAG 12.1%. Reading the last mutual fund/etf update I am wondering whether you would make any suggestions as steady interest rate rise seems more of a certainty than at that time. A conservative income oriented portfolio.
Tom
