Q: Can you provide me with an artificial intelligence ETF both canadian and US.
Also what large and small capstocks are at the forefront of this new trend.
Sort of like Microsoft, intel and Cisco in their infancy.

Q: Hello 5i,

With the rise in the USD and decline in Asian and European stocks and ETF's, is this a good time to purchase ETF's for those zones with the anticipation that the ETF's will increase if the usd declines in value in the next 2-3 years?

If so, can you recommend one ETF for each zone for the cdn and us exchanges?

Thank you.
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Dear 5i
If i have ZSP in my portfolio (RRSP`s, TFSA`s and unregistered acct ) do i need to have VGG . In other words is it different enough to own as well as ZSP or would just owning ZSP be sufficient ?

Q: I have had the impression that covered calls were a riskier type of investment but when I look at the beta, std dev, alpha, sharpe ratio, etc I don't see much difference between the two ETFs listed. Are they both considered about equal?

Q: Was reviewing the 5i Income Portfolio and the type of bond funds in portfolio. Then was looking at the dividend payments on the two ETFs, the convertible bond (which is in the portfolio) is double of the laddered bond (which isn't in portfolio). Are convertible bond funds considered a much higher risk over laddered bond fund?

Q: Retired and I’am considering buying the above mutual fund, with a substantial amount to me $50,000 .
However the .91mer is giving me hesitation? Also not exactly sure what they yeild per year as I’m looking for 3%+ dividend.
I understand they are a solid long term choice, however would like your etf equivalent with a better expense ratio and or performance.
( also not a fan of return of capital) .Thanks

Q: Could you kindly give your outlook for this fund. From my understanding it holds short terms corporate bonds which would be positive in the current rising interest rate environment yet it has been loosing value. Also, would you consider it defensive irrespective if interest rates continue to rise, stabilize or do a reversal.
Thank you
