Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi
Thank you for your insights. It has been very helpful grow my portfolio so that is balanced and diversified. I have about $10000 that I would like to invest in mostly growth stocks with a 10-year horizon. Its possible I will have additional funds to add in the next couple of years. I would like to keep this separate from my larger portfolio. My risk profile is medium to aggressive for these stocks. Are there others I should be interested in as well? I am looking to purchase 4 stocks. What would your suggestion be based on growth and risk/reward?

Q: Hi 5i. From BAM.A's website, they show Managed assets of over $6ooB.

Of this they show:
Real Estate : $210B, Infrastructure : $95B, Renewables : $59B, Oaktree Inv.: $159B, Priv. Equity : $73B.

Instead of allocating our entire holdings in BAM.A to the Financial Sector,
Would it be reasonable for us to allocate :

Real Estate : 35%, Industrial (Infrastructure) : 16%, Energy : 10%, Financial : 39% ?

Thanks for your advice. T.

Q: Dear 5i,
Comparing MOAT vs VOO it appears that in general MOAT outperforms even thought
MER is considerably higher. It looks like they both distribute dividends but, no return of capital. I am interested in purchasing for my NonReg account and don't want to update my ACB if there is a ROC or phantom distribution. Should I buy one of these or both? Do US ETF's ever have phantom distributions like some Canadian ETF's and mutual funds? I'm afraid I could not find any information on this matter.

thanks

Q: Wow, that was some news about EIF's acquisitions. Good for EIF...and thanks for your previous comment to me about not seeing any reason to change (May 17, 2021).......Now with a weighting of 2.3% but with a risk rating that I would say is 3, moving up to 4 out of 5, I'm pondering increasing my EIF weighting....Me, like the 5.67% dividend, too.......What say you, aka your take please!!!......Tom

Q: Any chance that info like the list of Cdn stocks that pay US Dividends could be put out in excel? Excellent bit of information and would like to be able to rearrange it but my skills are too poor to copy it over to excel and get it organized to use.

Thanks
