Q: What do you think of the TD all in one portfolios? They seem to offer some active management that the vanguard and share all in one portfolios do not offer. They allocate a certain portion to technology etc. Are they worth it?
They list the MER at 0.25 but also list a management fee, having a hard time figuring out the total fees.
Torn between doing something like this or creating my own portfolio with 6 ETFs.

Q: For a consistent and reliable distribution, and some growth, HCAL or HDIV or some of both?
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.

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
