Q: Seasons Greetings to all at 5i, and fellow members as well!

Our Real Estate holdings include DIR.UN, FSV (thank you 5i for this stellar pick!), and XLRE. Portfolio Analytics indicates that we should increase weighting. I was considering adding to DIR.UN, or starting a new position in CHP.UN. If this was your portfolio, what would you do, or is there even a better opportunity? Thanks as always.

Q: Which sector ETFs would you recommend. Please give 1-2 for each sector and reasons why you would like them.

Thanks.

Q: I have noticed that the real estate ETFs have been languishing over the last 10 years. What is your view of the real estate ETFs over the next 5 years? Under what conditions will these ETFs do well? What type of real estate ETFs do you expect to do well (domestic vs international, commercial vs residentical, etc.)?

Please recommend a North American and an international ETF which you feel could do well over the next 5 years. What percent of a portfolio would you recommend include real estate for diversification purposes?

Thank you for this excellent service.
