Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm holding about 21% cash right now and would like to invest most of it in foreign equities to diversify from my mostly Canadian portfolio. Do you have any specific ideas of what I may include, ETFs or stocks? I'm wide open for suggestions. My main objective is capital appreciation but I'm aware that good dividend payers most often do better than non-dividend payers.

Q: Good Morning: Recognizing that this company is not in your normal area of operation, I would still appreciate your opinion in terms of the current investability and outlook for it. An analyst on BNN suggested that it really only has Nokia as a publicly traded competitor in its 5G space and is therefore of interest. As best as I can determine its debt is not out of line and it's share price is reasonable value, although revenue seems to be declining recently. Your comments are appreciated. Don

Q: Hi: What is your opinion of EWU for a long-term hold? It pays a pretty good dividend, but I note that it has a fairly high concentration in banking and energy. I would use it to increase my international diversification. Also, is there a similar ETF that is Canadian dollar denominated? Thanks J

Q: Hello,
My portfolio mentioned that I need to add more international exposure to my portfolio. Can you suggest some good international ETF(s) or individual stocks that would be good for me to help balance my portfolio?

Q: I am looking for an ETF recommendation to increase my international exposure.

I currently own 15% in VIU and 12% in VEE. Income is not my primary objective at this time. I was thinking XEF but through there would be too much overlap with VIU and didn’t think that made the most sense. I am ok with going mid-small cap and thought an ETF like SCZ may diversify my current holdings. What are your thoughts of this fund and do you have any other suggestions?

Also, so you have any recommendations for an international small- mid cap value ETFs? Thanks for your help.

Q: Just a follow up on the XEF. Would the 37%(mostly japan) Asia component be adequate for an emerging market exposure or would you want a true ETF like the ZEM you mentioned to go along with XEF?
