Q: Hi Peter and the 5i team!

What are your views re the Telus International IPO? From the little I have read I am not sure what sector do the TIXT businesses belong. In your opinion is it a strategically well diversified group of businesses or merely a diverse collection of business units? In what sector(s) does this new entity fit?

Is TIXT unique in the Canadian universe of stock market offerings? Who are their competitors? Chief reasons to buy now? Chief reasons to avoid?

Thanks for your thoughtful views and guidance.

Q: Can you give us your concensus on Suncor's quarter and outlook?
I have several hundred shares that average close to the present price.
Would you hold, sell a portion, or dump them all?
My feeling is with time they may climb back some, but it's risky with all the rush to green companies whether they've proven themselves or not.

thanks, Paul

Q: Yesterday, you mentioned that index funds must sell their shares. The stock yesterday started at $66 and now it is below $58. From the 39.4M shares outstanding, 3.5M have been traded so far in 2 days.
Is there a magic volume number to which we can say the the funds have finished selling?
Was this expected to drop after opening because of the reason which I have stated?
Thanks

Q: My question has to do with personal estate taxes or the tax grab by the us tax authorities on a individuals estate holding personal US property (US stocks). Can one avoid this problem by just simply holding Canadian ETF's (trading only in Canada) that hold US equities. For example BMO ZQQ, or Vanguard VSP. Any guidance or help from 5i or it's members would be much appreciated.

Q: Dear 5i,

I am considering purchasing either PGF860 or PGF260 for my RIF and TFSA accounts.
Morningstar describes both as Global Small/Mid/Cap equity mutual funds but, PGF860 appears to have much fewer holdings. May I please have your thoughts on these two funds and whether they might be good considerations for my two different accounts. Might one be better suited for each account?
Thanks for the terrific service!

Q: If I buy:
ZWC ((BMO CDN HIGH DIV COV ETF) for Canadian exposure and income,
ZWS (BMO US HIGH DIV COVER ETF) for US exposure and income, and
ZWE (BMO EUROPE HI DIV COVER CALL HEDGED CAD) for European exposure and income,

that will give me about 7%+ income and exposure to about 120 very decent world wide companies. As a retiree, would I need to do anything else?
