- iShares Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO)
- iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF (XIC)
- iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ)
- Vanguard Dividend Appreciation FTF (VIG)
- S&P 500 ETF TRUST ETF (SPY)
- Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT)
Q: I am setting up an all ETF portfolio for a 20 yr plus holding period and I have a two-part question. The first part concerns the makeup of the Canadian/US component. Is it better to go with a combination of SPY and XIC or would including CDZ and VIG provide stability and perhaps a bit more growth to the mix (keeping in mind that I intend to hold at least 5% of each but don't need income yet)?
Secondly, I am looking for higher risk assets for my TFSA. I was thinking of IWO. I know that there are specialized sectors I could include but I looking for a fairly hands-off approach. Do you think this approach would serve me well - I know that it is only one asset type - or is there a better mix out there that would still be quite manageable?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: Happy New Year: in order of best first, could you name your top three tech etf’s.
- Meta Platforms Inc. (META)
- Kinaxis Inc. (KXS)
- Block Inc. Class A (SQ)
- Ichor Holdings (ICHR)
- Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT)
Q: Cleaning up at year end - winners & losers & am left with approx. 200K in a RIF that still holds ICHR, BOTZ (an experiment), VGT, SQ, FB & KXS. I definitely favour US however, am open to your suggestions & expertise. As always, thank you for over 6 years of excellent guidance & advice.
Q: Looking at buying vgt as opposed to individual tech stocks. Opinion please. Are there better etfs out there?
Q: Thank you for continued great support and unbiased opinions.
I plotted a few favourite 5i Technology stocks with high P/Es along with the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:VGT). Except for CSU (crazy +ve outlier),
they all cluster closely in returns over the long-term (i.e. 15+ years).
So, why bet on a few horses with such risk (P/E > 50) when one can own the track, make about the same return, with much less risk (P/E = 6.6)?
I think we all understand the advantages of ETFs in general, but considering the high P/Es specifically in the Tech sector, it really begs the question above. Thank you.

Q: I am comparing FDN, IGV, VGT,and BST - all hi tech ETFs . BST has performed the best this year and pays a healthy dividend . Aside from some Apple and Google I am barely into the US Tech sector . 1. Should I just buy "something" and hope for the best ? 2. Do you have a favourite tech ETF ? 3. Am I too late for the party ?.
Q: I have a 40% US weighting in all my portfolios combined, with the above four holdings comprising 75% of the 40%.
VGT 4.6%, VUN 7.7%, CIB590 10.1%, CIB595 7.1%- equalling 30% of total equity portfolio.
Could I have your comments wrt the overlap in these four holdings. Is there enough diversity to continue to hold all four or would you collapse and combine?
Thanks
