Q: The Economist has a recent article on "seven metals (aluminium, cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, silver and zinc) that are critical to building an electricity economy".

What would be your preferred method of gaining exposure to some or all of these--single stock (no fees but won't touch on all seven materials) or ETF (more diversified but high fees in Canada, eg XBM)? I would be interested in a single stock (not a basket of stocks) for this purpose, or an ETF. Would be grateful if you could please provide suggestions. Thanks!

Q: Hello,

From your last report update of March 9th the 5i Balanced portfolio is down YTD -7.18%. Mawer's Balanced fund Series A is also down YTD -7.15% as of March 30th (according to Morningstar data). I find the comparison between the 5i balanced portfolio and the Mawer Balanced fund interesting because the Mawer fund has a Canadian bond weighting of ~30%. Given the current market back drop shouldn't balanced funds with a sizable bond weighting provide better down side protection? Or is this mainly due to rising interest rates affecting bond performance?

Thank you,

Glen
