Investment Q&A

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: Hello 5i
It's my understanding that GFL (industrial sector) was added to the BE portfolio in May 2025. Were there a total of two purchases totalling a 2.5% new position weight for that equity?
GFL's CEO is Patrick Dovigi and 5i considers it a big plus that Dovigi is also the founder of GFL.
1) can you please compare his pay package to those of the CEOs at WM, WCN and RSG?
2) in light of 2 above, can you shed any light about the governance of GFL and profitability of that company when C-suite compensation is factored into your thinking?
3)Dovigi's 2024 compensation seems out-sized by many factors. Was there a specific reason for that in 2024 or does relative overcompensation persist over multiple years at GFL?
Thanks in advance,
