Q: Hi Peter and team,

Portfolio Analytics indicates a need to increase our Consumer Defensive sector holdings. Across our combined accounts for this sector, we also hold COST and DOL, as well as two ETFs (ZLB with 19% representation, and XST with 71.5% representation in this sector.)

I am considering adding roughly equal amounts of L and JWEL to achieve the goal, and realize that L is much larger than JWEL, as well as being more defensive. But I do note that JWEL appears to have greater momentum presently and has a higher dividend as well.

PA classifies our portfolio as ‘Risk Managed Growth’, and L and JWEL would go into an 82-year-old’s RRIF.

Would you endorse such a plan? I’d also change the 50/50 allocation if you suggest this.

As always, thanks for your assistance.

Q: Aerospace and Defence sector has been getting a lot of attention, for several months and their sector related ETF's are trading close to all time highs. Howmet Enterprises has been a holding of ours for over a year and we have done well.

In order to expand our exposure to the Aerospace ( and by default, some Defence ), we have been keeping an eye on GE Aerospace and were impressed with its consistency of decent results including the most recent earnings. However, it has been difficult to find an entry point, as stock has been hitting all time highs.

When the sector pulled back, early this week, we were able to take an initial position in the stock at US$240 and also added some shares today when the stock sold off today, in the aftermath of the reports of the tragic Boeing 787 plane crash in India.

What are your views about ownership in A & D sector and its growth prospects, with the caveat of trade barriers/uncertainty ( As seen with current US administration ) ?

How will you rate GE Aerospace for its industry moat and execution ?

Do you think that today's news could be an overhang on GE stock, at least in the near term, but it does not impact on its performance in long term ? Does the stock presents an opportunity at current levels for long term investors ?

Thank You

Q: Rebalancing my portfolio vs risk for a young retired.
My portfolio consist in 23% bond ETFs, 37% US, 11% International, no emerging market and 29% Canada. I am ready to take on some EEM. What would be your allocation of funds from here? All current assets would trigger capital gains excepts for bunds which I wouldn't touch and may raise the amount over time. I may take 6 months to do part of the allocation due to capital gains tax hit.
Thank you for your precious advise over the years you have been a tremendous help to grow my portfolio and help navigate dangerous times.
