Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I'm in the process of doing a sector analysis in all our family accounts to determine overweight and underweight sectors. I see that we are very underweight in US stocks and healthcare. In my wife's RRSP, she owns ZLB which I'm planning to sell, as its return has seemed to stall lately when compared to other Canadian ETFs such as CDZ and VDY, realizing that they're all different 'animals'. A more appropriate sector balance would occur with CLU.C or CLU, with the added caveat that these two ETFs are available commission-free from iTrade. Should I choose CLU.C or CLU to round out our US exposure, and what ETF product do you recommend for healthcare? As always, thanks in advance for your timely advice.
