Q: I am coming into a $50,000 gift from aging parents, and would like to invest for my 10 month old son’s education. I want long term growth until he needs the money (probably 18 years or so). Would you recommend 100% ZSP or some other ETF? Also, should I buy in one shot as soon as I have the money ?

Q: Good Afternoon,

After reading the recent report updates, I followed 5i and sold my share in ATS. Besides some shares in AC, I have very little exposure to industrials. Just looking for advice on U.S. or Canadian industrial share(s) I should consider. Any ETFs?

Regards,

Ryan

Q: We are seeing the beginnings of a Trump bounce. If you had money on the sidelines would you put it to work ASAP or wait a bit now, having missed this initial move I mean. Secondly, aside from defense, oil and gas and orange make-up manufacturers, what sectors would you target, if any for the near term. Finally how does that translate into specific ETFs that might outperform over the next couple of years. Thankyou.

Q: Morning. As always your analysis is greatly appreciated.

Are there any generalizations you have on what sectors would benefit from a Harris win in the US election and what sectors would not benefit from a Harris win. I assume the answers would be opposite for a Trump win.

Q: Hi team,

Could you suggest a growth portfolio of EFTs for a TFSA, with an indication as to the degree of risk for each ?

Is it a good idea to have a TFSA all in ETFs ? Or what kind of mix (ETFs and stocks) would you suggest ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: https://www.rbadvisors.com/insights/4-for-24-year-ahead-outlook/

RB advisers recommend the following 4 themes for 2024 and as a value investor I am looking for ETF recommendations:
(1) US small caps: I am using XSU (100% IWM)
(2) US cyclicals: I found IYC but P/E is 27! Recommendation?
(3) Non-US and emerging markets: I have been using XEF and ZEM. I like XEM (100% EEM) because it posts a P/E each day.
(4) Theme 4 is "Industrials: deglobalization spurs infrastructure". No idea what ETFs to use here.
Thanks for your recommendations/comments!!!
