Q: hi,
can I get your thoughts on BABA for a long term hold. Obviously huge uncertainty re China government. but China markets down lots due to lockdowns etc. I was thinking BABA could be a good proxy for the Chinese markets.
And, if not BABA, do you have an ETF that you think would perform best with an uptick in the Chinese stock markets ( and is very liquid )
cheers, chris

Q: I would like to gain some more exposure into areas outside of Canada and the US, specifically China and India. I think ETF is the way to go. Would you suggest a couple? Any concerns with these areas currently? Would you suggest denominated in C$, US$ or any other currency for diversification?

Thanks, Mike

Q: Hi 5i team,
What is your favourite top pick for India ETF and your top pick for China ETF (preferably in C$)? Or would an emerging market ETF be a better investment approach? Which emerging market ETF you prefer that has a larger percentage invested in China and India? Thanks for you advice.

Q: Greetings 5i,

I am comfortable holding the bigger Chinese companies however I find myself with all 3 of these ETFs as well as several of the larger China Tech companies in my portfolio in all in half positions ( BABA, TCEHY, JD, BIDU). My question is What ETF would you let go?

As far as redistribution of these funds I am more interested in Large or Mid cap longer term holds that have value currently. Any recommendations?

Cheers!

Q: Can you suggest a good China ETF, preferably in tech, that is in CAD $. I am concerned about the US $ going down, and think I might be better off buying in CAD. Does this seem logical to you, or should I take a chance and buy CQQQ, KWEB or QQQC?

Thanks again for your insights!

Q: Greetings 5i,

Macro outlook is calling me away from N.A. today. Developing a strategy to take advantage of what looks like an enormous infrastructure and transportation project in China and surrounding countries. This may be old news to some but has popped up on my radar only recently.

"Estimates indicate that Belt and Road infrastructure projects in Asia alone will require investments of US1.7 trillion a year through to 2030" - HSBC

So my question is regarding China's Multi trillion dollar Belt & Road Initiative(Silk Road), what ETF holds companies that would gain significantly from this huge transportation infrastructure project?

Also could you see some simple base metal companies benefiting such as local iron ore company LIF, or a big international like Glencore?

Providing I stay diversified appropriately what is the best way to capture some of this growth?

Cheers!
