Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i team.

Can you give me your updated views on which you prefer of the above two ETFs (or any you'd add) for this type of investment?

Many thanks for your help

Q: I'm looking to invest the majority of my money into an all-in-one 80/20 asset allocation ETF, such as VGRO, XGRO, ZGRO or HGRO. Aim is to set-it-and-forget-it.

What does 5iR recommend?

Q: As a 50 year old with a defined benefits pension, to kick in when I retire in about 5 years, would ZGRO be ok, switching to ZBAL over the years?

Is the only difference between ZGRO and ZBAL the allocation between equities and bonds?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hi
I put ZGRO in my non-registered account knowing that it had US and foreign underlying stocks but Google Finance was showing that it had no dividend, which makes sense for a growth stock. But once I bought it, I see that it has a small divvy. I'm not too concerned with the tax consequences but I suppose it should have been better to place this in an RRSP?

Thanks
Robert

Q: I have these ETF's in a TFSA with a primary goal 8 to 10% annual return. I'd like your opinion if there is overlap in this portfolio and if there would be another ETF to add. This is a smaller portfolio and I don't think it would be efficient to buy the individual stocks in your balanced equity model portfolio.
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i, I can see all these institutions have a all-in-one ETFs, for an RRSP account, is it the way to go for someone who is looking for stability.
Place 45% BAL, 45% GRO, and 10% Stocks (LSPD, SHOP, GOOGL, AMZN, etc).
Thank you!

Q: Would you have a preference between these all in one 80% equity 20% bond ETFs? Maybe you could explain a little bit why? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i: Came across a new ETF offering from BMO ... ZGRO which just launched Feb 15th. Am assuming it is very similar to VGRO However, I cannot locate any information on the BMO website regarding holdings, sectors, mer etc. What information do you have ?
Thanks, Steve
