Q: I am 30 years old and have built a sector diversified portfolio of around 25 names from the TSX worth approx 200k. I also have a pension invested conservatively in bonds/mutual funds worth approx 100k. I would like to invest all additional cash for the next few years in 3 or 4 ETF's to diversify out of Canada instead of adding to my Canadian portfolio. Do you see any major flaws in my theory? also could you suggest 2 or 3 ETF's to start out with. My thoughts were: VOO, VEA, and IJR. Thanks

Q: My Canadian portfolio closely follows your BE Model and is approx.75% of the total. The remaining 25% is invested as follows in more or less equal amounts: Apple, Abbvie, Bank of America, Alphabet, HEWJ, Wells Fargo, and ZDM. I have sufficient US$ for another foreign position. I'm leaning towards IWO or EEM/VWO. May I have your thoughts and advice please.

Q: I am considering the Mawer international equity fund for some exposure outside of north america. Historically it seems to have had respectable performance and outperformed many of the international index ETF's that I have been looking at, although exposure does seem biased a bit to the UK.

Given that there are so many funds/ETFs out there do you have any favourites for international exposure that you currently recommend instead of MAW102? My only current international holding is a position in the Euro stoxx 50, FEZ.

Thanks, Jeff

Q: Along with picking individual stocks. I wanted to started buying ETFs that would cover US and international markets. I was thinking VSP for the US (S&P500), VXC for international and VAB for a bit of exposure to canadian bonds.

What do you think of these choices? Are there better choices out there?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: I have limited exposure to Europe / Emerging Markets. Do you think it is a good time to invest in either of them and if so how would you do it? What are the best ETFs? Would you use a CAD hedged ETF/am I correct in understanding that buying a CAD hedged ETF would protect against the CAD appreciating?
Thank you as always.

Q: A couple of questions ...
It seems as if the CAC40 and the DAX made significant late moves today in just a few minutes ... I'm not sure what caused that, but in terms of trends Europe definitely (?) seems to be heading positive .
Firstly do you feel Europe is a good place to put some money to work (now) . Secondly , do you have any fave ETFs , or ADRs that we should be looking at .

Thankyou
