Q: I'm looking for monthly retirement income. Please suggest a few of your favorite ETF'S that I could invest in that would provide me with a monthly income stream. I am hoping you can suggest investments that would yield 4% or better. I realize that to provide this kind of return I will have to accept some level of risk and I'm prepared to do this. However, I hope you can suggest some investments that are relatively safe. If you know of any other possibilities I would appreciate any guidance you can give to me.
As always, I appreciate any advice you can give to me.
I thank you for your guidance.

Q: Good Morning Gentlemen,
I am writing to you to get your counsel in developing a long term diversified portfolio in US$.
My Canadian portfolio is based on the 5i 3 platforms.
My objective is to outperform the SPY if possible.
I have chosen 5 ETF’s that when analyzing them seemed to show good performance, good Morningstar rating, and non duplicated holdings.
I have researched their MER’s, objectives etc.
My question to you, (I obviously am not a PM, but Peter is) is by purchasing these etfs:
1)am I duplicating effort?
2)Am I diversifying sufficiently or too much?
3)Would you recommend I add or delete any suggested holding?
5)I have no specific sector ETF, as I can’t predict which one will outperform, is that ok?
Here they are:
Dividend: SDOG (unique approach)
Large Cap: PRF
Small Cap :IJK
Low Volatility: SPLV
Growth: IWY.
Thanks so much in advance for your advice/suggestions.
Sheldon

Thanks for the great service and the more elaborate the answer the better. This is a large question please charge 5 credits. Thank you. Chris
Q: I am looking to buy about $100k of Fixed Income for my asset allocation and I have a 12 year horizon. Do you think I should buy actual bonds in some sort of Bond Ladder? or Bond Mutual funds? I am quite sure interest rates will rise at least 2-3% in the next 12 years. Is there a better fixed income product.

Q: Good afternoon,
EQ Bank's high interest savings account has an interest rate of 3%. I didn't see anything on their website to indicate that this is an introductory rate. I am comparing this to ZFS, a short term federal government bond ETF. I wanted to get your thoughts on whether you think there are any potential risks to the savings account vs the ETF and if you think it is a good option if i am looking for a very safe bond like investment.

Q: Interested in SNC in spite of their legal shenanagins. Looks as tho the Iran business bonanza is starting and SNC knows the Middle East well. We didn't like Iran with our previous cons govt. but I guess with the new one now we do. Also they are a Quebec company which bodes good for those infrastructure projects we keep hearing about. How do they stack up against ARE, WSP etc??

Q: Hello, can we get your opinion on the market return GIC offered by many banks (maximum return capped with the principal guaranteed - few years commitment). Does not seem to appealing but would it be ok to replace some fixed income assets with this given the low rate environment (some upside vs 2-3% for bonds) . Is there a lot of fees in these products ? Thank you
