Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

Can you name a few CDN etf's that you'd recommend for a long term hold that emphasize CDN high growth companies?

Can you name a few US etf's that you'd recommend for a long term hold that emphasize CDN high growth companies?

Q: Good morning. I am setting up RESP’s for infant grandson’s. I am thinking at this age the portfolio could be aggressive growth equities. There is only a small ($1000.00)initial amount that would be supplemented with small (one or two hundred dollar) irregular contributions. To avoid/reduce trading costs, in the beginning at least, it might be best to go with ETF’s which can be purchased at no cost? Would you agree? And if so can you suggest some aggressive growth type ETF’s. I am thinking XIT, Canadian tech companies could be one.
Thank you.

Q: Which has more upside in the next 1-2 years....NPP314 or XIT? Put another way, Eric's "old" energy vs new tech?
Thanks...Steve

Q: After scanning 5I questions for the best fit for my daughters LIRA which she will not need for 20 years and will not be contributing to it, we settled on VFV,VEE,and VUN. That leaves room for a tech ETF for the remaining. Considering:
XIT.TO but the MER is high at 0.61% vs. TEC.TO which is a TD ETF
product with an MER 0.35%. Are there any others to consider or which
would you choose and why?

Q: is there an ETF that focuses on tech stocks, couldn't seem to find anything in the Q and A section

Q: I work in tech and for that reason I had told myself no need to add further exposure to tech by holding tech stocks. Now I kind of regret that strategy. I wonder what percentage of exposure to tech In my portfolio is sensible? Is it too late to enter? Do you think tech stocks are in a bubble? Can you suggest some names (ETFs/stocks) in canada and US that would be good choices if we decided to add some exposure to tech?

Q: Which is better for an RESP in terms of growth and returns within the next 2-3 years? Perhaps a ranking?

Q: Which one of these would be the best choice for a RESP. Beneficiary is an older child (grandson) who will start to draw funds from mid 2021 onwards. Looking for the best return within the 2 to 5 years remaining before total drawdown of funds would be completed.

I plan to establish a new RESP for a great granddaughter soon. She is not yet 2 years so has a long time horizon. Any suggestions?

Q: What do you think about having a combination of these ETF's for a North American tech weighting? Any other suggestions?

Q: All; Favorite technology ETF ? Canadian technology ETF ? Thank you.

Q: What ETF would you recommend for all your favourite Canadian tech stocks?

Thanks.

Q: For RESP investments for my 3 grandchildren (ages 7, 9 and 11), I am pretty sure I'd like to choose XIT, partly because it's Canadian and I recognize the names of the top 10 holdings. I would like to be fairly aggressive. But I also would. like to complement XIT with another ETF without being overweight in (any?) energy or financials. In fact, probably no energy and underweight financials. Something fairly balanced without technology, but still growth tilted. I'd like it to be TSX traded in Canadian dollars, but it does not have to hold all Canadian stocks. Another option would be to complement XIT with one or two individual companies but not sure I could get the diversification that way. Would like to keep it simple, if possible. Is there a Canadian equivalent to IWO or an equivalent that trades in Canada in Canadian dollars? Or would that type of ETF already be overweight technology, minimizing diversification? In short, diversified with a growth tilt and in Canadian dollars but not too much technology overlap with XIT. Thanks for your help on this. Much appreciated.

Q: Is there and ETF for Cdn. tech stocks?

Q: Could you recommend a couple of etfs for the tech sector for both the Canadian and U.S. markets ? Thank -you.

Q: Hey 5i team!

RESP 10-15 yr hold.
Current HXQ, ZSP, XIT, XIC. ZRE.
BAM.A, CAE, BPY.UN.
ETF's are core holdings in that order been riding the recovery. BAM looking longterm. BPY.UN AND CAE are recovery plays. Bonds not needed until later on. Intl and emerging is looking to be terrible for a year or so. Possibly adding IWO.

What would be your major changes and or additions to this grouping? What would you recommend? With a shorter timeframe then some we need some solid and secure growth plays.

Thank you. Looking forward to your reply.
