Q: Hello 5i team,

I have 500k in US $'s to invest and my RSP and TFSA are both maxed out. My plan is to use this money to primarily generate income through US ETF's and US dividend stocks. With my RSP maxed out is there another strategy to avoid the 15% withholding tax, besides using the US $'s to buy CDN income producing investments. And could you please provide a few ETF's in US $'s that have a focus on income/high yielding.

Thank you,

Glen

Q: I have the above international ETF's in my RIF at a total allocation of 39%. I am interested in your assessment of my choices. Any duplication? Should I delete any? What should I add in it's place? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for adding analytics. It's a great assist.

Q: Hi,

I am looking for recommendation for a high yield position with some growth potential (yield a higher priority than growth) to replace QSR that I sold this morning. The new position will represent 4% of the overall portfolio and will be held in a taxable account. This account currently holds: ZDV, SLF, ENG, BRE, WEF. I am looking for a long term hold and ok with some risk, though WEF and BRE are on the riskier end of the scale.

Thanks,
Mike

Q: Hi 5i,

I looked at BYND IPO, but the company doesn't seem that solid (reliance of single crop, manufacturing facilities uncertainties, potential scale of competitors, etc.).

However, I do feel that plant based proteins will become a bigger proportion of our daily diets. What is the best way to invest in this growing sector?

TIA!

Q: Just following up on Alex's followup to my question on the XGRO etf.
XGRO is an old fund that was revamped to compete with VGRO. The Morningstar number is incorrect. The .84 MER listed is for the OLD fund.
XGRO couldn't possibly compete with VGRO's .25 MER or ZGRO's .18 MER with a MER of .84. It's listed management fee is .18. After regulatory fees and taxes and such the final MER may go up to a couple of basis points.

Q: 55 years old,will work at least to age 60 and will have a large pension.Have about $100,000 to invest long term with no need to use any of it in the foreseeable future,
Please recommend an ETF for Canadian market (moderate risk,and tilted more to growth than to income) and an ETF for US markets (moderate risk and tilted more to growth than to income).
If you think two ETFs for each of Canada and US would be better than one for each,please elaborate.
