Q: Good day, I would like to know if you think RPD(RBC Quant European Dividend Leaders) would be a good choice for European exposure, would there be, in your opinion, a better choice (I also look at VE).
Regards

Q: Can you account for the underperformance of this mutual fund which hit a high for the year on May 4 of $19.35 and now rests at $18.59?
The mandate is try to match the DJ index by holding the components but the index is some 10% higher now than May which makes the poor performance since then even more glaring. Can you suggest a fund or ETF that would truly mirror the DJ Index? Thanks, J.

Q: Does the price of this debenture rise and fall with demand only. What are the other factors that would negatively affect this bond. When you say it can be redeemed in 2020 I assume this is by the company. (What are the terms of redemption) If you redeem at any other period I assume it is traded as any other security. I called TD but they were not able to provide me with any real info. The current price is $117.00 does that include paying the seller the interest payment since inception and the rest represents supply and demand? How could this debenture be seriously negatively affected? Thanks so much.

Q: I am interested in the ZWH or ZWH.U for a registered account. Is effectively the only real difference in these 2 the fact that distributions are paid out and converted to CAD for ZWH whereas the distributions for ZWH.U are paid in USD? While ZWH is "held" in CAD it would be fully impacted by FX movements. Thanks

Q: Good morning Peter
In the next month I will receive US$50,000 which is available for investment. I would like to keep these funds in low risk but growing investments. I have considered putting half into each of BRK.B ( currently own 250 shares ) and BAC ( currently own 1,000 shares ). Another consideration is a broad based US ETF, such as VTI. I would very much appreciate your thoughts.
