Q: On Nov 10, "Dave from Montreal" asked if you knew of a Canadian based ETF that focused on Canadian growth companies. You said you couldn't help, but I think you mistook his question as asking for a Canadian small cap ETF. There is the iShares Canadian Growth Index, XCG, which is for Canadian Growth stocks. The MER is a bit high at 0.55%. The 5 year total return is 8.78% annualized. Top holdings include SHOP, CNR, CP, BN, ATD, CSU, WCN, NTR, T, AEM, which seems a bit of a mixed bag, frankly, for growth. The ETF is based on the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index.

Q: What Canadian companies whose share price could benefit from the AI phenomenon do you know of ?
Please provide some colour to each , such as % of sales, specific AI capabilities etc.
Are there any CDN ETF’s , other than ARKK:CA that you would recommend ? This would be for my TFSA where I put my riskier investments.
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hello 5i Team,
A good friend of mine has all his investments in 2 funds.
RESP: CIBC Managed Aggressive Growth Portfolio
RRSP: BMO SelectTrust Equity Growth Portfolio - Series A
He has everything in those two funds. Are they worth holding? What do you suggest I advise him? I've talked to him about ETF's and doing something different than mutual funds.
Thank you for helping out. Brent

Q: 23 year old starting RRSP. Have made small initial cash contribution and now doing monthly pre-authorized cash contributions, Given long time horizon, small current balance and ongoing monthly contributions, I’m looking for a 100% growth-focussed equity ETF that I can have set up to auto-contribute to on a monthly basis and wonder what you might recommend.
Thanks.
Brian

Q: Please suggest a few ETF or actively managed funds for growth over 15 years.
Also, if the horizon is 15 years, will emerging markets like India/ China do better than mature markets.
