Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I assume that you will deduct question points as you see fit.
I am considering simplifying and 'conservatising' my RRIF.My wife andI are in our mid 70's.
Portfolio Analytical has again shown that my account is unbalanced with inadequate foreign content. I also need to increase my weightings in Consumer (discretional and defensive), Industrial and Technology.

Could you please suggest 5 names for conservative longterm holds in non Canadian Stocks or ETF's in the following categories?
a)consumer defensive
b)consumer discretionary
c)Industrials
d)Technology .

With many thanks,
David

Q: Hi, Can you recommend any consumer defensive stocks or etf’s that are international? Looking to reduce Canadian bias while increasing consumer defensive as per portfolio analytics. Thanks

Q: Could you recommend Canadian and US consumer staple ETFs? Are any of the holdings in the model portfolio consumer staples? What percentage of one’s portfolio would you allocate to consumer staples?
Thanks for all your help

Q: Good morning

Looking for an International Consumer Defensive ETF.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Sincerely

Mike

Q: Hi, I may have forgotten to send this question but what is your favorite consumer staples etf. Greetings and thanks, Peter

Q: Could you please rank these consumer defensive stocks and why - STZ, DOL, ATD.B, MRU and PG.
Need to increase my US and International exposure, however considering selling STZ (in a RRSP)
What are you thoughts? Is there an ETF in this sector you favour with US /International exposure? Thank you

Q: Hello,
I was wondering if there are any tax implications of purchasing STPL and making it part of my TFSA account. This ETF does hold US companies. Will their be any tax withholdings because it is part of my TFSA even if the ETF is Canadian?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i
Based on my recent review of Portfolio Analytics information, I need to increase my US and International exposure significantly and, also, Consumer Cyclical, Consumer Defensive, Industrials and Tech.
With the thought of killing a number of birds with just a few stones, could you recommend a few ETFs that trade on the TSX that will increase my US and International exposure along with my investment in the listed sectors, while also having the prospect of some reasonable return in the form of either capital appreciation or dividends, or both.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Morning 5i team,
I'm looking for a few suggestions on an ETF that covers consumer staples in the NAM? Some that came to mind were XST and STPL, but they seem to lack US exposure?
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and 5i, could you give me a few ETF's (Canadian listed) in the consumer defensive sector.
Thanks. Ivan

Q: Greetings 5i..Thoughts on STAPL for conservative investor? It seems to have steady but stable growth and relatively low volatility. Thank you, GARY
