Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i,

Can you suggest some non-Bond type Canadian traded ETF's that might have similar performance characteristics to a short term Canadian bond ETF. I am hoping you may be able to suggest some relatively low risk Canadian ETFs that have a little income with minimal chance of capital loss.

thanks

Q: Hi, I see that you are recommending to invest in both of the companies. My concern is that they have already increased quite a bit and their share price is high. Where do you see the stock price heading? Thanks

Q: 5i has been bullish on ENB in the recent past. Today, David Jagielaski at The Motley Fool recommended that investors "dump" this holding. Thank you in advance for your comments.

Q: Hi 5i team,

You kindly answered a recent question of mine re: minimizing risk of U.S. estate taxes (I am high net worth investor). I posed the question of emerging markets exposure, and asked you to compare VWO (U.S. situs) versus ZEM (Canadian situs); and you recommended ZEM for avoiding U.S. situs investment. My follow-up question has to do with making a comparison between VEE (the Vanguard Canada emerging markets fund) and ZEM. My understanding is that all ETFs registered to Vanguard Canada (such as VEE) are considered "Canadian situs" investments, even though they hold investments outside of Canada. So here are my two questions:
1. In a comparison between ZEM and VEE, would you recommend one over the other (the goal is Canadian situs investment within my RSP for long-term emerging markets exposure, at least 5 to 10 years).
2. In general, how can one most easily determine whether a security-- whether ETF or individual stock--is Canadian or U.S. situs investment (for estate planning purposes)?
