Q: Hello 5i team. My question is in regards to taxation. I have an investment account at a CDN discount brokerage in US dollars. If I was to buy a cdn company say TD bank that trades on the US market and buy it in US dollars how would the dividends be treated? Would the dividends be paid in US dollars or paid in CDN dollars then converted back to US dollars? If they are paid in US dollars then are they subject to the 10-15% US withholding tax? I am trying to find investments that I can buy with US dollars but not be subject to the US withholding tax. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
You have classified AIF as Real Estate, but the TSX classifies it as Technology; I'll go along with your classification.
My holdings in the Real Estate sector are TCN, CIGI and FSV; would you consider AIF as complementary?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking to add a gold producer as portfolio insurance and am relatively well balanced in other sectors. I am looking for a company that has strong growth opportunity over my timeframe (10+ years). I am 23 and can handle volatility but want to avoid producers that are exposed to foreign government risks at their mines. What would be your top pick for a producer that has opportunity for pure growth over this timeframe regardless of how commodity prices are behaving? I know you always like AEM or FNV but I feel they are more slow growth. I am leaning toward BTO or MUX right now. I would appreciate your thoughts here.
Thanks as always,
Joe
