Q: Part of our total portfolio is invested in ETFs [non-registered accounts] and one-third is in Canadian-based and Canadian-dollar denominated US ETFs. Another third is in US ETFs - spread among Large Cap Value, Blend and Growth, and SMID. The final third is in Special US ETF - IAI ZBK AIRR PAVE SHLD PPA SMH UTES AND HXX. Your advice is requested as to which ones to over-weight, underweight or sell. Please rank each category, if you would. My lean is less tech/ M7 as already own most.

Q: This ETF was mentioned in an answer a few months ago. Its focus and objectives appealed to me. I purchased a position and then added. It has worked out well so far but as I am wont to do, I shot first and am now asking questions later.....
At present, the AUM is reported to be just over $1.1B (US); has this been growing much in the last year? And at that size, is there any small cap risk as would be the case with an equity? Last, does the fund use leverage, and if so, is it an amount that meaningfully adds risk?

Many thanks for your excellent service.
