Investment Q&A

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

Q: Have you ever thought about offering your portfolios as ETFs? With the trend towards index investing and ETFs rather than individual stocks I would think a lot of people would love this! I can't bring myself to buy the TSX60 as it's such an unbalanced and terrible index, but if you offered for example the balanced portfolio as an ETF with a reasonable MER I would buy it in a heartbeat. It would make managing my portfolio a breeze. Cheers, Andy

Q: I'm a little confused about how gold in Canada is reacting the last few days. When I check the US, ie SPDR gold, I see gold up strongly. Today GLD is up 1.42%. Canadian gold miners, though, are mostly down, today and over the last few sessions. GLD is up 2.54% over the last five sessions while XGD is up only 0.31% What explains this?

Q: Good morning and Happy New Year to all at 5i,

Portfolio Analytics tells me to increase my US and international exposure. Please suggest some ETFs that would accomplish this goal, and at the same time provide a dividend (even a small one) and have growth prospects. This would be for this year's TFSA investments. Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: Hi 5i experts,
I recently am watching the XLK that seems has the same holding company as ZQQ has but the risk is much lower than ZQQ. As a Canadian investor, should I keep XLK instead of ZQQ? which one has better return? and tax efficient?

Thanks,
Alice
