Q: I had a portfolio review many years ago when you did them individually, personally by human! At the time your suggestions were right on and cleaned up my ETF's. Now I have over ten and according to your metrics it should not be so. Given those above, is there anything that is not required? I am up 25%- 150% on all of them. I am happy with all of them. I have a balanced portfolio in all 11 sectors with 44 stocks all doing quite nicely thank you. Following the income portfolio with some of my own additions from 15 years ago. I do not see any major conflicts.I am s a buy and hold dividend investor with some growth ( lightspeed, Leon's).
Thank you for your million dollar service!

Q: Good day folks.
Reviewing the three portfolios, I see no representation from the "Pot" sector. Are you making a conscious decision to steer clear?
If you were to participate, which Companies would you be interested in, CAD and US? Is there an ETF that you would point me to to take out Company related risk?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
A good friend of mine has all his investments in 2 funds.  

RESP: CIBC Managed Aggressive Growth Portfolio

RRSP: BMO SelectTrust Equity Growth Portfolio - Series A

He has everything in those two funds. Are they worth holding? What do you suggest I advise him?  I've talked to him about ETF's and doing something different than mutual funds.
Thank you for helping out. Brent

Q: I have some US dollars that I would like to invest for a few months and I'm looking for a simple etf or stock that will give me more return than the zero interest I'm getting in my USD account. I don't mind a little risk but still want low risk. If you could suggest 3 potential options I would appreciate it. Thanks!
