Q: What do you think of AIM1517 for international exposure?

I have a couple of mutual funds left in my RRSP that I bought YEARS ago. I’m trying to decide if I should keep them or replace them with an ETF(s)? I currently hold XEC and XEF for international exposure. Is it worth keeping AIM1517 for international exposure, it’s 60%+ US stock so not sure how international it really is. Would something like XEC and XEF make more sense and provide better overall results? Is there a better ETF(s) I should be looking at for that goal?

Q: Hi,
In a recent response, I don't think it is correct that PHYS gold is held outside Canada. According to the website it is held at the Royal Canadian Mint.
Thanks, Michael

Q: Do you have any preference between GLD & PHYS? Thanks.

Asked by Charles on June 10, 2024

5I RESEARCH ANSWER:

We (Peter) were involved in the initial set up of PHYS, and we believe it is better, because it holds its gold outside of Canada, units can be fully transferred into bullion (at minimum amounts) and it does not lend out its gold holdings as GLD is purported to do.

Q: I do not have a position in Microsoft , but I still have what hs become a relatively modest position in AAPL. I don't really want to increase the amount I have in technical stocks nor do I have the cash at this time. So , I am considering selling half my Apple shares and buying Microsoft with the proceeds. This would be in a registered account. Would you consider this advisable at this time ?

Thanks in advance,
