Q: Hello,

I am looking into ETFs in Canada to compliment the portfolio I have created with your model portfolios, profiles and question support. I may be out to lunch, but my thought is to purchase some ETFs to diversify my investments. Is that smart? I currently am planning to move funds from a questrade managed portfolio, and either add it to my customized portfolio or to invest in ETFs. I appreciated reading your ETF and Mutual Fund newsletter and am considering some of the broad etfs, however I am against investing in the energy sector. Also interested in expanding my clean energy or ESG sector with another ETF. Do you have suggestions? Curious about ESGY?

Thanks for your guidance!

Please take off 3 questions.

Thanks,
Ellen

Q: Hello, from a peace of mind perspective, what happens to an ETF or mutual fund if the company selling it goes out of business or decides to close the instrument ? Do the underlying stocks get sold and dispersed to the mutual fund holders ?

Thanks.

Q: What ETF would you suggest for a non-registered account for a higher risk tolerance with emphasis on growth and a 10 year minimum timeline ? VGRO/XGRO sound good but the dividend yields seem low to really take advantage of the dividend tax credit.

Q: PLX is an Israeli Bio co. not showing in your system.
I bought a small position 6 months ago as I am very interested in the diseases they are working to try to alleviate and potentially cure. It has gone up in price nicely this week after company update to shareholders.
Would appreciate your views. Is this a hold or worth buying more at this stage. John.

Q: Good afternoon:
I have a Foundation account that I am managing
for my late mother, and was wondering if you could suggest 6 mutual funds to invest in. I am not allowed to invest in any higher risk funds. (I do like
the Mawer group of funds.)
Thanks!

Q: First a big thank you for the terrific returns we received in 2020 thanks to your stellar guidance (our largest holdings we first discovered through 5i -hello LSPD,XBC and WELL!). We gifted our kids memberships in December and praise your service to everyone. This is truly an invaluable service.
Now to the question, my brother is tired of paying high fees for his CIBC pension holdings. When I looked into this for him last year, some pools had MER in the 2% range! He’s moved the following into cash and is looking for lower fee/higher return alternatives in the following areas of his pension account:
-Imperial Canadian Dividend Income Pool
-Imperial Canadian Equity High Income Pool
-Imperial US Equity Pool
-Imperial International Equity Pool
-Imperial Short Term Bond Pool
-Imperial Long Term Bond Pool
Please charge as many questions as required.
