Q: My Grandsons are 3 &1 old. They have 43% ZUT, 35% VFV, 21% ZWB and 0.9% BTCC.in their present RESP. I am looking for thoughts for the coming year deposit.
My thought are add to VFV (not enough now to reinvest),add a Reit ETF like TGRE or add an telecom ETF. I can not find a telecom ETF in Canada so maybe an alternative would be T.
All thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Q: 3 ETF's for my 40 ish daughters RRSP
Q: Hello, I'm 58 and debt free as of today. I have a small retirement savings in RRSP as well as LIRA. I have started a Questrade account with only one ETF, HHL, harvest Healthcare because of the good dividend. Should I continue with this one ETF ongoing or do you think I should look at other ETF's? I am happy with the projected return over the next few years but am open to hearing any suggestions that would improve my overall position? Thank you in advance.
Q: Our daughter has secured a great job and is now in a position to invest in TSFA and RRSP's. I'm thinking she should start out investing in ETF's. Can you please recommend your favourite ETF's for each, would you also diversify to include some foreign exposure at this time ?
Q: What ETF would you recommend for a 1st contribution to a RESP? Long term, medium risk. I don t think it s worth buying individual companies at this stage in view of the small amount and to properly diversify. Thank you
Q: Dear 5i,
If one were to hold VFV and VSP for an infinite period of time and assume MER's were the same and effects of currency were neutral.
Is it reasonable to assume VFV would outperform VSP by approximately 1% because of hedging costs? If not, can you help explain.

Q: Hi there,
I've been reading up on the US vs International stock cycle as of late. It appears as the cycle of under and over performance tends to happen in cycles. Obviously no one can predict the future, but do you think International will outperform over the next few years considering where are are in the economic cycle, rates, valuations etc? Can I please have your thoughts?
Thanks!

Q: With a 5yr time horizon would you recommend splitting money over 3 etfs; rep. Utilities, tech, financials. Or, one etf VOO or a cad equivalent with spaced purchases over the course of a year. If suggestion is 3 etfs, could you please suggest some names in each of the three sectors. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello:
Child turning 18 later this month. For initial $6500 to TFSA would VEQT be better than US only VFV? Very long time horizon and I never bet against USA!
Other options for long term growth?

Q: Happy Holidays!! Two part question - What are your thoughts on index funds, I don’t think I see any in your portfolios.
I read some commentary sometimes how some “professional investors” say they are better than stocks, for as the stock market goes up the index funds will too, but stocks don’t always rise when the market does. I do see the counter argument there too.
And assuming you’re not opposed to them, you which ones would you recommend?
Please take 2-3 credits, as that was a long question.
Thanks,
Cam
