Q: Hi 5i team:
I am looking to add to my portfolio an International ETF ex Canada (in US dollars), I want to get more ex-Canada diversification.
Have been researching URTH (iShares MSCI World ETF), but is not in your database .. please add. Could you suggest another 2 or 3 ETF's with the above criteria to purchase in USD. What do you think of VT ? Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: Can you provide me a recommendation for both a growth and conservative (income with a little upside) etf that gets me some international exposure (Non CAD / US markets). I am overweight in CAD and balanced in US. I appreciate that most large companies are ‘global’ regardless of where they are listed so take that into consideration. I am ok owning ETF’s where the holdings seem like US based but in fact they are global CO’s.

Consideration to the MER also please. I hate paying fees!

Q: July 10 2019 you gave the following opinion on EDG100
"We are generally not huge fans of mutual funds for their higher fees, but EDG100 is an exception that has consistently justified the higher fees through its performance. We would be fine keeping it."
1) Just wondering what your thoughts are on this mutual fund today and are the high fee still justified by it performance?
2) What alternative that operate in the same space would you suggest looking into?
