Investment Q&A

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

Q: It appears to me that major components of our economy are slowing. Specifically, vehicle sales, home starts and home sales all seem to have stalled or are stalling. Considering the outsized contributions these make to our economy, when coupled with a US - China trade war and increasing interest rates, why would one not sit on the sidelines during this market correction and/or go more into cash?

For example, people often complain about the effect of the price of oil on the economy, but the reality is that fuel and electrical production are ~ 10% of Canada's GDP whereas real estate, construction and related financials make up ~20% and automotive exports are the # 1 or 2 export from Canada.

I can't help but think that things are going to get worse before they get better...

Q: Good morning 5i Team.

I'm primarily an income investor and I'm building positions in these three names. My target is BEP.UN (5%) AQN (3%) and RNW (2%) for a total of 10%. Do you think 10% is too high for the group? Is it necessary to diversify into all three? If not, which would you pass on?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Hi.

Comparing Global ETFs (XEF, VXC) [7-year AARR ~6.3%] versus MFs (RBF1067, RBF1370, MAW120, AIM1593) [10-year AARR net MER ~10%].

Hard to compare these with the tools I have at my disposal, but it appears that smart management of Global investments maybe be worth the MER ding. Your thoughts?

Haven't owned in MF in years, but maybe it makes sense here...

Thank you.
