Q: IJR has underperformed IWO this year. I am wondering if it is still worth holding or would selling for more IWO make sense? Also does 5i still believe small caps will turn-around and out-perform in future?

As well, given current conditions, would you recommend equally spreading the investments over 3-6 months or invest in one full swoop given current conditions? Thank you!

Q: Good afternoon,
I am planning on rethinking the majority of my investment strategy (choosing my own stocks). I plan on switching to a more ETF focused approach where I have 20% in bonds/gic, 15% US ETF, 20% Canadian ETF, 20% Foreign ETF and the rest left to my whims. For the Foreign ETF I was think VXUS and SPY for the US but what would be your recommended ETFs for US, Canada and Foreign (and perhaps bonds)?
For reference I am in my early 20s so I have a bigger risk appetite and presumably longer time horizon.
Thank you very much,
Aidan

Would VGG selling in CAD qualify for the exemption of US taxes, or does it need to be a US traded ETF to qualify.

Q: My grandson is graduating next month. As a gift I’m going to give him an initial deposit for a registered account, help him open it by attending a meeting with a bank, or help him set up a DIY account. I want him to choose TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA after doing some reading (he doesn’t turn 18 for a few more months so we have some prep time). I read The Wealthy Barbour in my 20’s, is it still a good choice to educate and motivate young people about savings as a lifestyle, or do you have some other suggestions? I would also love suggestions for 2-3 stocks or 1-2 etfs that would be suitable for the initial investment (that could be added to regularly to keep the process simple) if he chooses DIY. Thanks!

Q: Looking of some growth ETF suggestions for my non-registered account, hold for at least 5 years.
Q: Hello, I am considered by 5i's report to be an Alpha Balanced Investor. I am 61 and planning to pull back to consult part time. I have an investment portfolio managed by a broker and have set aside $115K in non-registered funds and $11K in registered funds . Can you please recommend the ETFS and stocks that you would recommend for a. non-registered and b. registered $? Please feel free to take two questions from my balance if appropriate. Also, I am to run this thru dollar cost averaging, what would you recommend in terms of % and frequency to invest the full amount? Thx
Q: I have recently moved $100k into a self-directed RRSP and would like to deploy. Funds are in CAD. Given the current outlook on tariffs and general market sentiment what ETFs and Bonds should I buy for a longer-term growth hold 5-7 year+ that are likely to do well given the recent downturn. Please include a European ETF suggestion and a bond suggestion. Thanks!
