Q: A Money Saver Magazine had a interesting article (Richard Morrison, July August 2017) regarding that you should invest in places that you would be willing to live and places with low corruption. Denmark #1, New Zealand, Singapore,Sweden and Switzerland were among countries with the higher scores ahead of Canada #8 and the United States #18. Dividend yields are over 4% on the New Zealand and Switzerland etfs and company holding appear solid.
Are there any countries around the world that you are most bullish on and would you comfortable investing in the above etfs say 10-20% of a portfolio of a 30 something year old?

Q: Hi!
I'm a new investor who is interested mostly in ETFs and mutual funds. I'd like to diversify my portfolio by region (e.g. Canada, US, global, international, emerging).
I have some cash on hand that I would like to invest. However, given the ongoing bull market, I'm concerned about an imminent correction. I was wondering if you could suggest some places to invest. Is it safe to invest in international or emerging markets at this moment? Or should I keep my money in cash and wait for a correction?
Thanks!

Q: Greetings 5i,
Macro outlook is calling me away from N.A. today. Developing a strategy to take advantage of what looks like an enormous infrastructure and transportation project in China and surrounding countries. This may be old news to some but has popped up on my radar only recently.
"Estimates indicate that Belt and Road infrastructure projects in Asia alone will require investments of US1.7 trillion a year through to 2030" - HSBC
So my question is regarding China's Multi trillion dollar Belt & Road Initiative(Silk Road), what ETF holds companies that would gain significantly from this huge transportation infrastructure project?
Also could you see some simple base metal companies benefiting such as local iron ore company LIF, or a big international like Glencore?
Providing I stay diversified appropriately what is the best way to capture some of this growth?
Cheers!

Q: When I try to trade securities listed in Exchanges in Japan, UK, other Europe, bank-owned brokers (RBC-DI and iTRADE) have a hard time giving me a quote. Even if when I get a quote, the have trouble handling my trade. And if they do, the trades incur very high commissions. I understand there are brokers in Canada who do handle international trades, but I do not know who they are.
I am therefore looking for a Japan small-cap ETF of companies that:
- are small or mid-cap (i.e. prefer to avoid the large Japan cartel type orgs); and
- whose sales have a significant export component; and
- which holding a modest number of securities, say 50 or 75 although I suspect I would have to be flexible as to number of holdings given that I am seeking small-caps
- trades in the US or Canada
I skipped currency hedge as requirements (although that would be great)
I have checked online resources but didn’t see ETFs of Japan-based exporters.
I would be thankful if you are able to tell of any ETFs you are able to find.
