Investment Q&A

Q: Could you comment on this with rates rising

Q: Can you pls recommend a CDN ETF that holds Constellation Software, and which has a good track record for price appreciation. Thank you.

Q: Retiree looking for suggestions to putt some money into a TFSA. Long term investment with a good dividend and reasonable capital appreciation. Please advise.

Q: I would like your opinion of this new ETF.
I realize it has no history, and is still rather small, but it seems to be in a growing segment, high income ETF's.
I like the equal weight aspect, I like all the companies in it, and I like that there is no leverage involved, and at the money options, seem like a winning formula.
I am looking for income, low volatility, and a little growth would be welcome, but honestly, if the share price is the same in 20 years after distributions, I would still be very happy.
It would make up about 30% of my investments, with HDIV at 20%, and HYLD at 20%, cash at 10%, and an assortment of individual companies, about 7, making up the remainder.

Thank you

Q: When you own a money market fund such as tdb8150, do you accrue interest on a daily basis. If I buy Monday and sell Friday , will I receive interest. One does not need to hold for a specific time ?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I haven't put any money into fixed income yet. Do you have any suggestions for fixed income ETFs or other products worth looking into?

Thank you,

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. At what point does liquidity become an issue? I currently own 4000+ shares of LIFE and am considering adding another 500 shares. I believe that LIFE trades roughly 9000 shares/day.

LIFE is my proxy for the HC sector and it is my intent to hold for the long term. I know I could buy another HC ETF, like HHL. However I run a concentrated portfolio.

Thoughts? Thanks....Steve

Q: So here is an interesting one for you. Recent (early) retiree at age 55. Let's assume I have 2 bond funds - one domiciled offshore and set up as a Trust, and the other a traditional mutual fund domiciled in Canada. Assume both have a similar return and distribution profile, as well as holdings. The offshore one only pays nominal monthly distributions, meaning they essentially go towards increasing one's adjusted cost base ("ACB"). It is not an actual cash distribution. This is good in the sense that, in theory, this reduces your capital gains when one sells. The other one pays the same monthly distribution, but it is cash, and not just nominal. As a retiree looking for cash yield, am I being short-sighted in wanting to stick with the fund that pays the monthly cash distribution, or is there something besides what is noted here that I should be more focused on with the fund that pays the nominal distribution? At this stage, all other things being equal, I am inclined to sell the offshore one and just own the one fund that is domiciled in Canada and take the monthly cash income.

And sorry about the long question. I really did try to keep this short :)

Q: I don't think I asked my question correctly. Am I buying IYW too high at $108, and does it have room to go up still? Why?
