Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you explain exactly what these two ETFs invest in? On their respective websites it appears as if ZFH is largely in government bonds or treasuries of some type (the scary term CDS shows up here), while MFT refers to "bank loans". Both indicate low to moderate risk, while at the same time showing virtually all investments rated at BB or less - below investment grade.
How do these ETFs compare to ZHY or XHY in terms of safety of principle and dividend sustainability?
Thank-you

Q: Hello,
I already have a full position(5%) on CSU but I used to hold Engh and Amaya earlier. The latter two have done well after being removed from the portfolio. I dont hold any of Engh or TSGI. I am torn between adding to my position on CSU due to the high confidence or to Amaya or ENGH? Sorry for this difficult question. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: I have recently inherited a portfolio of stocks heavily weighted towards the Canadian banks (RY, BNS, TD, BMO, NA, CM). About 30% of the portfolio is made up of these six banks and I am uncomfortable with the lack of diversity and high correlation.

Which two or three banks do you feel are the least attractive and therefore the best sell candidates?

Q: Hello team,

A quick question regarding tax losses: I sell a stock at a gain and then buy the same stock say the next day. At the end of the year, I pay taxes on the gain. Then I sell the same stock in the next year at a loss. Can I claim a tax loss on the stock? I am not sure if there would be a problem with the 30 day rule in this case, right?

Thanks a lot for your assistance!
