Q: I have two entirely different endpoints for my TFSA and my RRSP. TFSA is shorter-term funds to pay down my mortgage, and RRSP - its intended purpose, longer-term funding for my retirement. In this case, would you consider the percentage of each account separately when weighting, or use the combined value? Currently I am separating, but because I own a couple of doubles (NVDA and TVK for example), the position sizes are higher than I would normally hold. If considered together, my positions do not exceed my maximum weighting. Thanks!
5i Research Answer:
Despite different timeframes, we would still prefer a combination approach so that an investor knows exactly how much single company risk they are taking. Timeframes do matter, but we would consider this a risk analysis first.
