Q: Hello,
I was wondering if there are one or two diversified ETF's that cover all sectors and all geographies. Could these ETF's replace a well diversified portfolio of 30 different ETF's which cover the same/similar sectors and geographies. This would simply the maintenance of my portfolio. I would also appreciate your opinion on the effectiveness of such ETF's if they exist.

Q: Just a comment. When I search questions on HUT (HUT8 the bitcoin minor). The horizons etf comes up instead. I think you might need to differentiate the symbols on these two.

Q: I currently owned both CM , TD and ZBK in a non rrsp account. I would like to sell CM. My total % holding in ZBK and TD are quite low . If I buy ZBK I still maintain the financial allocation but increase my US holding. I know I would lose the dividend that CM pay as ZBK is quite low, or would it be better to buy more TD and increase the weight of this stock.

Thanks

Q: What do you think of a 5-year ladder of RBC Target Date bond ETF’s (RQG through RQK) for the fixed income component of Canadian RRSP’s and RRIF’s?

Also, for a $US RRSP or RRIF I am considering Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) and Highland/iBoxx Senior Load ETF (SNLN). I am aware that the NAV of these funds can be volatile, and that they may be considered somewhere between corporate bonds and high-yield bonds on the risk spectrum, but I would be buying them for the yield.

I appreciate your response.

Q: i currently hold rsp and voo in my rif account. Is this too much of an overlap and should I consolidate or just keep them as they are?
