Q: In your response to Francesco on March 13, 2024, you indicated that HEQT is 34% US but I think that is only the large cap portion. Also, previously you noted HEQT had 65% US exposure. A plot of historical trends of XWD and HEQT show almost identical plots. Did I miss something? What are the MERs?

Q: I hold two small positions, which combine to about 2.5%, in New Gold Mining and Triple Flag Precious Metals. I am considering a switch to Lilly Pharmaceuticals. At the moment, my exposure to the materials and health care sectors are about 5% each: this would change my weighting to 2.5% materials and 7.5% health care.

My questions are which of LLY or (TFPM + NGD) have a more favourable outlook on a three-year horizon, and would this potential impact on my portfolio diversification outweigh any potential gains?

Q: Park Lawn, BCE and BEP taking a tidy beating in the wife’s income portfolio. While we enjoy the divs, the red ink is off-putting to be fair.

We are a few years away from drawing on her account, so at what point would you consider averaging down on these. There is a fairly large cash balance waiting to be deployed.

Q: I cannot find SCHC (Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF) in the database.

This US-listed ETF is about 20% Canadian stocks and 80% outside North America. When held in an RRSP my understanding is that latter (outside NA) is subject to foreign withholding tax. But what about the Canadian stocks, any withholding tax?

Q: Hello, I have bought these during Covid and now >70% down. They are in TFSA and RESP so I can’t claim the tax loss. I don’t need the money for next 5 years in RESP, and can hold for long time in TFSA, would you suggest holding them or take a loss and use the rest of the funds somewhere else (VRT or GOOGL)? Thank for your service.
Regards
Rahul
