Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
If one doesn't need the income that HHL provides, and can buy and sell XHC commission-free, but not HHL, how would you rank these two ETFs? XHC appears to have a better long-term chart.
Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: What are your thoughts on investing in a crypto etf?
Q: I’m considering a pure play China ETF. Have no exposure to any eastern market in my portfolio.
As a #2 and potentially future #1 economy it makes a compelling long term investment.
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you

Q: In reflecting on the next direction to place some funds I looked at the performance of the Russel 2000 fund in your growth portfolio. Then looked at some alternatives in the Vanguard family of US based small cap and Russel ETFs. Going more mid or small cap seems appealing but where would your preference lies or is it in the current ETF you hold in the growth portfolio?
Q: Your views , assessment and ranking of these two funds?

Q: Good morning 5i,
I need some fixed income. And I am paralyzed by the low rates I see. when I think of fixed income i tend to think of security and not growth. I know there are a number of people who put all kinds of things in fixed income, from high risk bonds to preferred shares. Where would 5i fall on this question? I was wondering what you thought a suitable fixed income component might look like for a retired person? as you can see by the symbol I added in the title, I am thinking short term bonds. But, i am open to suggestion. Could you suggest some bond etf's for the US and for Canada that would be appropriate for our current situation?
thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
When designing a portfolio about a year ago I made sure to have exposure in Emerging Markets as I was underweight in foreign equities. With Chinese equities under pressure does one just continue to hold these equities in order to have a diversified portfolio and ride the ups and downs if one is a long term investor? Your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Hello, in the answer to a member’s question about “fraudulent activity” you say: “We would exercise more caution on foreign entities due to accounting differences. Over the counter small companies should essentially just be avoided.” My question is related to the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Market VEE ETF that contains 5250 stocks, out of which 37% are from China. Is it possible that many of the VEE stocks fall into the category stated above? Thank you
Q: A friend commented that buying this fund would be a positive play in the event there is a Bear Market. I believe that a Bear Market is going to happen however when is anyone's guess, but things can't be climbing indefinitely so a reset of some sort has to happen. What is this fund and what part, if any, could such a fund play in one's portfolio. A simple explanation would be appreciated as I consider myself still 'in training' in the DIY investment world. Please note I have a limited number of stocks (7) in my portfolio (representing 6 sectors)
