Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i,

If one wanted to invest in bitcoin would you wait for a US listed ETF or would
you invest in an existing blockchain ETF like BLOK?
(Van Eck filed just recently for a bitcoin ETF)

On the same risk/return spectrum do you think there are better themes to invest in with my money? Please suggest alternatives and perhaps some ETF's to research.

happy new year

Q: ARKK: bought in October - tiny % of USD portfolio. Shows no dividend payment; however, when I was going through my accounts to-day I noticed a dividend payment of $124.97 and $488.52? Confused.

Q: Happy New Year to all at 5i!!!! I would like to make a TFSA investment for a long term hold in both QQQ and ARKK. Does this seem alright to do at this time? Should I chose one over the other, or would both investments compliment each other? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Was recently recommended some of these ETF’s, eaab,eagb, eaft, eaut, eark. Was wondering what you thought of these. Any stand out, or would buy all in a basket.

Q: i am thinking of taking a position in one or all of these high performance etfs in order, which ones, do you favour? could you possibly suggest suggest some other etfs or sectors that i may take a look at (dont mind taking the risk) more than 1 question here Kindly deduct my credits accordingly

Q: I have in my portfolio only one position with ARKW ETF Im very hapy with it.
Please provide mi with 2or3 choices of another ETF's with similar performance that would complement my ARKW.

Thanks Andrew.

Q: I was looking at ARKK, ARKQ, ARKW, ARKG, ARKF ETFs. Are these overlap which two would you recommend to own or you suggest to hold all 5 ETFs. I am a growth investor. This ETFs performance per year shows 20% plus.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi

Your recent answer to Steven on December 08 2020 appears to favor EDGE. (Not able to pull this symbol on your database yet. Comes up as Edge therapeutics)
I also know that ARKK is one of your favorites through your answers to others' questions.
Now that AUM is going up with EDGE, and their lower fees (50% less than ARKK) would you say EDGE for a 2% initial position and for adding a little bit more if there is a correction is reasonable?
I am bit surprised that a Canadian ETF company offers an all in ETF for a lower fees compared to its US counterparts. How do they do it?!!

Q: Contemplating selling VGT and buying ARKK. The only thing stopping me is ARKK's 10% investment in TESLA. Would you stay away from ARKK given its strong bet on this one stock with a history of volatility? Additionally, how do you see TESLA's price (and therefore ARKK's) being impacted by TESLA's addition later this month to the S&P500? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i guys,
I came across the ETF EDGE from Evolve that is not in your database.
It looks intriguing as a vehicle (in CDN$) to invest in global innovative/disruptive companies. Am looking at it for a small portion of my TFSA.
Also noticed that Evolve is coming out with a new ETF in the near future called DATA.
Any information/opinion on EDGE and/or an alternative in the space is appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Q: What are your thoughts on Ark's innovation ETF. They've had an amazing couple of years, what kind of risk comes with their gains?

Q: What is your opinion of ARK Innovation ETF. Is now a good entry point if you think it is a good investment

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF is the hype of its expected growth over rated? Cheers

Q: Seems to me that we are a turning point in our world today. What with the problems the pandemic faces us with and those connected to climate change I think we are in need of some truly innovative companies that are dedicated to solving these kinds of serious problems. My question is, do you know of any ETFs that are focussed on companies with innovative ideas that will help to solve problems? I guess I'm looking for an "Innovation" ETF . If this is not possible, could you suggest a number of companies dedicated to innovative ways to help solve these kinds of problems.

Q: Could I have your views on the Emerge suite of etfs; EAUT, EARK, EAGB, EAFT and EAAI. Returns so far seem to be pretty good but wondering if some of those could become part of a personal portfolio. Haven't heard very many questions on these particular etfs.

Jacques

Q: Larry Berman mentioned playing ARKK in Canada thru Emerge, eaai - your thoughts please.

Thank you

Q: For a 5 yr hold, what are your 3 favourite companies in this ETF ? I'd appreciate your thoughts about these 3 companies. Thanks.

Q: Looking at three ARK funds: ARKF, ARKG, ARKK. ARKK appeals most, but I'm concerned about the high concentration (and potential over-evaluation) of Tesla. Which fund would you prefer overall and why? And could you please rate them for risk and potential return? Thank you.

Q: First, I wanted to thank you for your Canadian portfolio suggestions, especially for the balanced and growth ones. I've been very lucky on timing, still I am extremely happy with the service, advices and the gains this year. On another note, I am looking to allocate 10%-15% of my locked-in RSP in either an international or global well managed portfolio composed of small cap and/or mid cap stocks. Looking for intelligent high risk. I have a long time horizon (I am 30 years old). I would prefer actively managed or an ETF you strongly believe in, diversified and with a strong track record. I had MAW150 in mind, but when I look at the top 10 positions individually... They are pretty much all at their all time high and I'm not sure if they have a lot more room for growth ahead this year or next year factoring all the risk that remains. I know it's almost impossible to time the market, but if I can dodge a speculative correction like there was for tech this week, I would be more than happy. All that said, which one(s) would you recommend considering the most for September 2020 based on your expertise.
Thank you again.

Q: If you were to start an resp now, would you consider these etfs as suitable or a combination thereof,or do you have alternatives? Thanx.
