Investment Q&A

Q: I’m doing a fairly major portfolio clean-up and account optimization exercise.
Specifically, I’m removing dividend-oriented and income-generating stocks from my TFSA and RRSP that are better suited to a non-registered account, and reallocating TFSA/RRSP capital to assets that benefit most from tax sheltering.

At a broad level, I’d appreciate your perspective on:

• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to an RRSP (e.g., U.S. dividend payers, global compounders, cyclicals, etc.)
• Which CAD and USD names are best suited to a TFSA (long-term growth, compounding, low income leakage)

I’m less interested in yield optimization and more focused on long-term after-tax efficiency and proper account placement.

If helpful, feel free to answer at a category level (e.g., “U.S. dividend aristocrats,” “Canadian compounders,” etc.) or with specific examples you think are particularly well-suited.

Thanks — looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: Yesterday a BNN article indicated that preparation, clean-up and re-construction after natural disasters has become a growing and significant portion of the US GDP.

Please advise some companies in these categories that I could do some research on?

Thanks for all your help,

Mike

Q: I am currently overweight tech in general (36%) and NBIS (9%) in particular. I reluctantly feel I need to reduce my exposure to NBIS and, as I am underweight industrials, am in search of suggestions for growth-focused US industrials. Would you kindly provide 3-5 names of mid to large cap industrials you are reasonably confident can match or outperform the NASDAQ over time? AXON and WSP already held. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,

Can you rank AIA (ETF), TT, and KKR on their potential for growth over the next 5-10 years. We own 3% positions AIA for Asia exposure and KKR due to their global footprint,

Would any of the 3 above be a high conviction stock to add to a TFSA at 1/3 of a position?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i, may I have your thoughts on Honeywell vs RTX? Looking for a US industrial and if you could list your top 5, looking for a large cap. Thx.

Q: Can I please your opinion on earnings? They seemed ok and the company upped guidance, so I was a bit confused why it went down 9% today.

Q: Good Afternoon,

After reading the recent report updates, I followed 5i and sold my share in ATS. Besides some shares in AC, I have very little exposure to industrials. Just looking for advice on U.S. or Canadian industrial share(s) I should consider. Any ETFs?

Regards,

Ryan
