Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Follow up on a recent question on FCCM and WXM. FCCM has the lower MER. Other differences I see in a simple comparison from my online broker: FCCM is large cap while WXM is mid cap. 5 year returns for WXM is higher, but 3 year, 1 year, and less favor FCCM. Dividend from FCCM is 0.64% paid annually and WXM is 1.26% paid quarterly.

I own WXM in my TFSA (up 55%) along with a selection of stocks from your portfolios. I also own VMO in another account.

How do you view these investment style ETFs (growth, dividend, value, momentum) vs geographic ETFs vs sector ETFs vs others for DIY investors trying to diversify within an account?

Q: Can you recommend five CAD-denominated, growth-oriented ETF’s trading on the TSX for a three-year hold? This could include sector-specific (eg cybersecurity, AI, dividend-growth, etc), theme-based (eg momentum) and/or general/broad index suggestions (eg TSX, S&P500, NASDAQ100, etc). Thanks.

Q: I am following the ETFMU Balanced ETF Model Portfolio. WXM has a high MER at .66. Could you recommend another ETF from one of the model portfolios that would give me about the same level of potential and risk? It could be either Canadian, US, or international.
thanks

Q: Hello, I just read an excellent article in today’s Globe & Mail written by Norm Rothery. He discussed how a momentum investing strategy has significantly beat benchmark indexes for many years. I would not be able to run the numerous screens and perform the frequent rebalancing that this strategy requires. Are there any Canadian ETFs that follow a US or Canadian momentum investing strategy? Many thanks for the great service that 5i provides.
