Q: Good afternoon,
I am starting a RESP for our grandsons: one born in 2021, the other born in 2023.
To maximize the CESG grant I contribute just over 2500$/year.
How would you suggest to invest the funds ? 2 or 3 index funds?
Would you include a NASDAQ -100 index fund such as XQQ, ZQQ or HXQ or even XIT (Canadian tech ETF)?
I would appreciate your guidance.
Kind Regards

Q: Here is an excerpt from my Disnat statement with entries and exits of $$.
02/24/2023 01/05/2023 DIVIDEND IN ISHARES SHARES NASDQ 100 IDX ETF -78.43
02/24/2023 01/05/2023 DIVIDEND COMPANY TRUST 200 ISHARES NASDQ 100 IDX ETF 78.43
I don't know where the money is going.
I would like to understand why these amounts were credited and then debited from my account. I asked the question to Disnat.
The answer was:
These are distributions from exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
My questions:
Is there any follow up to do from my part? Does that change my average cost?
Thank you

Thank you!

Q: I am down on all of these by about 20%. If I sell them for a tax-loss harvest, what should I do for proxies? Also, since I have no capital gains for 2022, should I sell these stocks/ETFs in January to avoid a jump in stock price before the end of the year (as tax-loss harvesting season ends)?

Q: Hello,
I need to sell approximately $100,000 from my Unregistered account. I am trying to hold off as long as possible. Looking for your suggestions on which of the listed ETF's I should sell or should I sell a certain percentage from each one given where the market is now and where it might be going? If Industrials or Health care, etc. are projected to go higher then I obviously want to sell out from some other sectors.
Thanks for your great service. It was much easier to stay the course with my diversified portfolio and Portfolio Analytics keeping me on track.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide a couple (or more) ETF's related to the NASDAQ, with a long term horizon in mind. In particular are there any that reinvest their dividends rather than distribute them to their investors. Also what are the tax implications of reinvesting rather than distributing. Is there an ETF that covers all the listings on the the NASDAQ itself. Thanks.

Q: Dear 5i team.
Further to Cyril's question where you "hand selected a few of your favs from the three portfolios", is this a diversified enough list to put a small ETF portfolio together based on? Can you suggest which ETFs may be appropriate?
I recently upgraded to include your ETF portfolios. Can you "handpick your favs" in these given the current market backdrop, risks, and opportunities ahead?
Many thanks.
