Q: What Canadian listed ETFs that are invested more so in growth stocks would be suitable for a TFSA with a mid to long term horizon? I wish to have geographic diversification through one or more ETFs and one or more ETFs investing in small to mid-cap stocks. If there are mutual funds that have better performance, after fees, please list as well.

Q: RRSP: SPY, XAW.TO, VXUS
RESP: CDZ.TO, VGG.TO
TFSA: VAB.TO, VXC.TO

Sorry I didn’t quite understand your response to my earlier question. XAW.TO is in my RRSP, which you said was the appropriate place to house ETFs with US dividends to avoid withholding taxes. Why then would removing this from my RRSP result in “tax efficiency”?

Q: I have held ZWE for a couple of years. I see BMO has released (in March 2018)
an almost identical ETF, ZWP. Has the same top 10 holdings and all other metrics are close, except the daily volumes.
Can you tell me why they did that?

Q: I loaded these three ETFs into a dummy Globe & Mail Portfolio with a mock purchase date of January 2, 2018. The output returns to date are CLF (4.5%), ZAG (4.5%) and HYGH (10%). Why did HYGH do so well or is the Globe utility having issues?

Thanks so much!

Q: I read this article in the Globe today that appeals to me because of it's simplicity, low cost (few commissions, no MER's) etc and it's relative performance as measured by the author.

I know it a very simple approach and mirrors the Buffet "Here's what you should do when I die" with my money.

Would be very interested on your take of this and if you think it would be a good idea or not and why.

Thanks

Sheldon
