Investment Q&A

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

Q: Previous question included 'Has 5i thought of providing a regular update of stocks that were once favoured but no longer make the grade'. Your response mentioned MG and OTEX and a comment about not reacting to a single quarterly report. This is fair. But will 5i consider reporting on companies that, over time, were once highly recommended but no longer are on the list? Your customers rely and use these recommended lists - they are rated high. Why wouldn't 5i alert customers when a company no longer warrants the recommendation? If no, then maybe you should stop providing the recommended lists and refer customers to your portfolios that you do keep current.

Q: At least one of the Canadian Banks offers Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) for selected large cap US $ stocks (e.g. Nvidia). They enable you to buy "fractional shares" plus the CDRs have an embedded option to hedge/insure against US$/Cdn$ currency fluctuations. Do you feel it is better to buy/own US $ stocks directly or to own/buy them through CDRs? Thanks in advance for your answer and keep up the really good work, guys!

Q: Do you know anywhere I could park some UK Sterling and gain some interest while it sits? Maybe a low cost ETF or something?

Q: Good afternoon
In response to my question answered today Aug 13/24 regarding US small-cap ETF you suggested IJR as probably the best small cap US ETF
In the August ETF update, you “seem “to suggest that CALF might be a better option
Is my take away to purchase Calf over IJR , correct?
I realize you like both of these ETFs, but if you were to choose one only which would it be?
Thank you again
