Investment Q&A

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

Q: I wanted to gain some clarity on your answer to Terry indicating that the high dividend returns with these etf's are almost entirely return of capital. So if an investor holds these their yields would not be taxed as dividend income in a cash account but the cost base would diminish accordingly so that when sold the capital gain would be greater. But if a long term hold and if the yield continues to be return of capital then does the investor collect these yields effectively free of tax? Any other similar etf's with high yields that are largely return of capital? Am I missing something? Thank you for providing certainty on this.

Good Morning
Looking at the price graph for Decisive Dividend since 2014 the price essentially drifted until the Covid Crash. Then it started up steadily to the present.
What changed things in October 2020? Did the company restructure or get new management? Please explain.
We really like the company and they seem to be very good at acquiring and integrating successful family-owned smaller businesses.
Do you believe this is a strong long-term hold growth stock
Thank you.......... Paul W. K.

Q: Hi 5i,
Horizon's ETF; HSAV says the management fee is 0.18% plus applicable taxes. Do all ETF's have to pay tax on the management fee? Do you know what the tax is and is it the same for all ETF's? I'm guessing it is our contribution to the GST at 5%. Hope you can help.

Q: Is VNQ a good investment in a stagflation environment, or does its current issue of office and retail REIT exposure going to counteract that situation ?

Are rising interest rates the only other reason for its underperformance recently?

Is it possible to come up with a metric that compares how expensive / inexpensive it is today as an investment relative to it's past ?

Thanks.

Q: Please give your assessment of this ETF - AIQ. It appears to hold stocks that have been driving the S&P500 higher this year so do you see any more upside? How much growth do you see for AI in the short and long term? For a growth theme would you put new money into this for 2-5 years? Thanks in advance and please deduct credits as you see fit.
