Q: Good evening team,
Do you have any thoughts about this new BMO ETF 'ZCLN'. Please rank any other 'Green/Renewable' ETF's that you like - both US and Canadian please.
Much appreciated, Patrick

Q: Hi,
Could you comment on my profolio for a 5 year hold? Should I add/remove/replace any of the stocks?
Also, Cathie Wood said she is expecting a drop of the market this year. However I currently have ZERO cash position. Do you think I should trim my profolio to have some cash? If yes how much percent do you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: I own ICLN but have been looking at the description for HCLN and think that they are different enough I could hold both if I really want to catch the clean energy wave. What do you think? And what do you think of HCLN realizing that it is brand new and small? Thanks!

Q: Are any of the ARK funds involved in clean energy?
If not do you think adding a clean energy ETF would be complementary to owning ARK funds.
Thanks Peter

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am looking to increase my 'energy'/utility sector by adding two of the following ETF's ICLN, LIT, TAN, or FAN. I do not own any traditional energy stock/ETFs. Concurrently, I would like to increase my US and international exposure. I currently own the following relevant stock/ETFs.
Utility: BEP, AQN
US: VGG, ZSP, XQQ, IWO
International: XEF, VE, ZEM
Which two ETFs would you recommend based on long term growth expectations and geographical diversification of portfolio?

Thank you.

Q: I just asked a question about comment/thoughts on an oil/gas stock then I came across your response to a question where you mentioned the 5i couch potato portfolio (is it published elsewhere?). The clean energy ETF has done very well ICLN-Q. Would you recommend it? It has certainly been on a tear. If yes, could it replace the oil/gas component?

Q: Are there any good green energy ETFs you can recommend?
Thanks!

Q: These etf's have been producing real good returns. Is this replacing the old oil that is feeling that the best is over and now we are going into a new energy field for the future, faster than we thought. These seem like a good way to get a large exposure to new and fast growing company's. Good Day.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Hope you're all staying safe!
I believe there is a secular push for clean energy around the globe and I also want to expand the global exposure relative to Canadian markets in the portfolio so I'm thinking of adding some ETFs like ICLN to help me in both these regards. How do you feel about this for new purchases for planned long term holding.

Q: Which green etfs/ alternative energy etfs / ethical etfs would you recommend?
Read Answer Asked by roger on November 25, 2019
Q: I am looking to invest in what could be broadly described as some 'green' companies. These could be involved in power generation, carbon recapture or post consumer recycling to name a few options.
Would you be able to direct me to any funds, etf's or specific firms that may meet (or partially meet) these requirements?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
