Q: Good afternoon all;

I have a developing opinion (still sorting it out) that it may be time to increase overseas holdings; I have underrepresented them significantly in the past 5 years. I am particularly looking at the African and SE Asian (ex China) economies. While I understand these may not be questions fully in your wheelhouse, your views would be appreciated.

- Do you concur that, subject to Black Swan events, we could expect overseas economies to outperform Canada in the coming few years?
- What geographic areas would you put focus on?
- Do you have 2 or 3 ETF's that may suit such a strategy? DGS is one that has peaked my curiosity.

Thanks for your assistance as always.

Q: ZEM is my only emerging markets holding. It has done well recently. Nevertheless, I understand that the rise in commodity prices is what is pushing emerging markets higher. The top ten holdings in ZEM are large , well known corporations like Samsung. Only 7% of the holdings are in basic materials. Are there any emerging market ETFs that would help me to participate more in the commodity price reflation?
