Q: Can I have your opinion and comparisons on these 3 international ETF for a long term core holding, to compliment VIG in an RRSP, which is best and why. No international exposure at the moment. I understand that XEF and ZEA both track the same index however I'm not sure why XEF would hold its own ETF for a 7% holding.

Q: Greetings 5i,

I am looking to add some ETF exposure to the developed Asian markets (I currently have no exposure to this region), and am leaning towards VA. Does this sound like a reasonable choice to you, or is there another ETF you feel would be more appropriate.

I am 35 years old, am a fairly conservative investor, and have a preference for long term holds with as much diversification as possible. I already have ETF exposure to America (TDB), Europe (VE), and Emerging markets (VEE). This addition would take my overall portfolio to 30 holdings.

Thank you.

Q: Re: Infosys (INFY)

Hello, This question is out of your scope but I would appreciate your thoughts. This stock is down about~ 10% due to the resignation of CEO. This is a solid company and has revolutionised IT and has made a huge impact on India. I am wondering if this is a good time to start a small position. Can you look at the financias and give me your thoughts. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: Hello Peter and team, two questions:
1. I already own VIG. Can you suggest another unhedged US ETF for US holdings in an RRSP but with a focus on higher dividends. (I'm somewhat partial to Vanguard, but flexible.) A low fee is much preferred.
2. For an already diversified portfolio, and for a 5 - 10 year timeframe, would you kindly rank your choices for 'geographies' for new money - as between the Canadian market, the US, Europe, Emerging Markets or 'International' (i.e., excluding North America). If you have another category you would insert, please do. Also, if you like the long-term prospects for a particular country ETF, that would be appreciated as well.
Thank you@

Q: Hello 5i. I'm overweight in CBI and have taken a big hit (35%). Stock sits in my Lira account which I'm unable to touch for 10 yrs. Would you recommend I sit on this and hope for bounce back with possible infrastructure bill to be passed or take my hit now and move on? if so, what would you recommend to replace stock with in U.S. or Can? Please offer 1 stock on each side of the border.

Thx Rob
