Q: Hey Peter & Team,

Apologies if I missed the answer when I searched, but I found it difficult to find my answer when I looked for a U$ dollar equivalent to "CASH." What would you suggest 3 - 6 months hold??? OR is there a U$ ETF representing GICs?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Happy Holidays,
I have a question about tax efficiency on HISA ETF investments in non-registered accounts. Do the dividends received from these ETFs qualify for any dividends tax credits? Or are they being treated as interest income, such as GIC, which will be subject to the usual marginal tax rates?

Thank you,

Q: Hello I’m wondering if you could name a couple of USD traded etfs that would be as close to the equivalent of PSA or CASH but trade in USD either on a Canadian or US exchange if necessary. Thanks

Q: I have cash in my US$ RRSP and would like to park it in a ETF like HSAV but I don't want to be clipped by TD if I move the cash to my CDN$ RRSP account. I noticed HYGH.US in your ETF model portfolio but it is not like HSAV. Any suggestions would be greatly welcome or if HYGH is the best then please advise. Thanks again.

Q: I hope to retire in about a year. I'll have a comfortable defined benefit, I've used the portfolio analysis to diversify my investments. I have a sizeable cash amount earning nearly nothing at a bank. I have contemplated GIC's but don't like the idea of having my funds locked up in the event I would like to direct it to a project or investment .
Would there be a ETF /bond that would be relatively safe that would mirror the GIC returns?

Q: I believe you have suggested PSA as a means of accessing higher interest on cash and maintaining liquidity and avoiding risk. Is there an ETF that fits this bill for US dollars that you would recommend that trades on NYSE or the TSX? Appreciated as always.
