Investment Q&A

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

Q: I manage a small TFSA (~$25K) for a young adult family member, with a long time horizon. We would like to get some exposure to small caps, which you have mentioned are likely due for a bull move. To get diversification with a purchase of only ~$5000, an ETF probably makes sense. There are several that have been mentioned in the past Q&A, so I am looking for your advice / recommendation as to which would be the best choice for a young person looking for long term growth. I am considering IJR, IWO, IWY, VBK... but feel free to add any other(s) you like.
Thanks.

Q: I am currently conducting research on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and I am particularly interested in those that include Google (Alphabet Inc.), Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon.

Based on my initial research, I have identified the following ETFs:

1. **Vanguard Mega Cap Growth (MGK)**
2. **iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor (MTUM)**
3. **BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF**
4. **S&P North American Technology Sector Index Fund (IGM)**, **Technology Select Sector SPDR**, **PowerShares QQQ**, and **iShares Dow Jones US Technology (IYW)**
5. **Evolve FANGMA Index ETF, TECH ETF**

I would appreciate if you could provide me with more detailed information if you prefer these ETFs which one 5i would recommend, or for that matter an alternative suggestion if you have another choice.
Thanks in advance
Rick
