Investment Q&A

Q: good morning, I would like to know if there are a couple of heath care ETFs that pay a dividend as well, that you think will be good buys. thank you.

Q: I am looking for US health exposure (growth) and was considering GH, VEEV, TDOC. I already own ZUH, XHC, IBB, IHI. Would you suggest adding to what I already own or would you buy 1 or all 3 of GH, VEEV, TDOC. If you have other recommendations, please include the stocks.
Thanks for your service

Q: Hi,

1)What 2 sectors of the economy (not technology) would u be most confident of appreciating in the next five years? Consumer discretionary? Healthcare? Utilities? Banks?
2) I'm a medium risk investor looking a for a US etf with reasonable beta and sustainable growth. Can u suggest 2 or 3? It can have some tech but not be mainly tech as I already own AMZN, Apple, Netflix, Zoom, Shop.
3) Are there any CDN version etf's that cover the same sectors of the US? Can you suggest 2 or 3?

Q: I own nvs and thinking of swapping it with an health global ETF. Is there one on the US side similar to the global can hedged XHC?
appreciate your opinion
thanks a lot

Q: What are your 2 best choice ETF's in Healthcare; Technology and Utiliites in US or Canada?

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking to add to both industrial and healthcare sectors. Between XGI and XHC which would you recommend starting a new position today?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Both of the above 2 ETFs are pretty well100% focused on health care with very similar make up (65% US, 35% non-US), why then there is such a big difference in dividend yield, Life pays 7.1% while XHC pays 1.05% in dividend.
Cheers,

Q: Greetings - kindly provide your opinions on all issues relating to this healthcare etf including but not limited to its assets under management, the advisability of it's maximum 33% covered call strategy, your view on future performance, the appropriateness of this particular etf if combined with one other single stock healthcare equity as a supplement to the healthcare portion of a portfolio, any cautions on it and whether another Cdn dollar etf in the sector is a better choice in your view. Many many thanks - Ken

Q: Hi group I believe that Tech + health + gold will be the leaders when we come out of recession. Can you give me a list of 2 ETFs for each sector along with 2 individual stocks you like for Canada + USA. Am also interested you take on my sectors that will lead the recovery and should I start picking away or wait ??? (I believe the market are vastly overbought and does not factor in the economic reality that the virus is going to do to the market. Please deduct credits at your discretion.

Q: In your portfolio analytics, you used to have A list of suggested etfs for each sector. I cannot find this list anymore. Has it been removed? Could you please provide a list of recommended etfs for each sector. Thank you

Q: Hi 5i team
What are your top picks for Global/US health care sector ETFs that are listed on TSX , for non hedged and for hedged? Are these better to be in non registered account?
Many thanks.

Q: With the goal of taking a basket approach to the pharma sector, is there a large cap, Canadian listed, US Pharma names ETF that you favour?

Thanks.

John

Q: Looking for big pharma ETF`s when the pandemic is over to invest, which would be most tax efficient in a non registered account. I guess this limits them to the USA.
Any Canadian ones.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hope everyone at 5i is doing well in these times!

I have been sitting on mostly cash in my RRSP/LIRA and would like your recommendations on the best ETFs to consider for my full US and International exposure. All of these would need to be listed on the TSX as I am purchasing in CAD $. While I know you prefer non-hedged, I’d greatly appreciate if you could explain benefits/workings of hedged vs. non-hedged considering the current environment. And provide ETF recommendations for each.

I am looking to achieve a balance of diversification, reasonable MER, minimizing any withholding tax while optimizing the potential in market recovery. For US, I would like to have a technology ETF, health care ETF and a broader spectrum ETF – but also open to ideas. Also, looking for recommendations on International – one broad ETF or perhaps that and a mix of ETFs. I recognize there can be overlap (e.g. between a tech and broad sector fund), so if you can give me a sense of the degree of duplication that may be present in your recommendations. Perhaps going heavier on tech right now could be a good thing.

While I started off thinking ETF selections would be relatively simple, in reading various Q&A there seem to be many important considerations - your assistance is appreciated. Again, all of these are being purchased in RRSP/LIRA accounts with the goal of optimizing my returns over a 10 year window.

Q: The ETF Portfolios tend to indicate a preference for CDN Hedged ETF's. (XQQ; XHC). Do you still prefer CDN Hedged ETFs today? Can you suggest non-hedged alternatives?

Q: What do you think of hhl for income and some growth ? Or can you recommend a better health care etf in Canada ?

Q: I am looking to increase my investment in Canada and US/International healthcare. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Q: Hi There

I'm needing to add some international exposure (outside NA) to my portfolio and am also under weighted on Financials, Healthcare and Industrials. I'm 38 so growth is the focus in portfolio. Can you recommend 5 top options to fit this mix - ETFs or individual stocks. Some will live in RRSP, some unregistered if that makes a difference in suggestions.

Q: Recommendations for Healthcare stocks or ETF currently?
