Q: I have held the etf CBO as part of the fixed income element for several years it is now off over 3%, please provide your opinion on this and should I move to other bond like units.
Q: I am currently watching XEG for an entry on a long term hold. I'm also looking for a Canadian ETF that is similar to OIH that trades in the US. Is there anything available on Canadian exchanges?
Q: I am considering shorting Oil. What are the ones to play in Canada and the USA ? Straight shorts and 2 times and three times short leverage
Q: Would you guys ever consider some model ETF portfolios - If not where is the best place to find such a model or tools to develop them
- iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Preferred Share Index ETF (CPD)
- BMO Equal Weight REITs Index ETF (ZRE)
- iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY)
Q: Saw your suggestion for CPD, XHY, ZRE for dividend income and wondered what would drive each of these securities price performance given that their overall return will be a mixture of price appreciation/depreciation as well as yield and each has a significantly different price history. I'm not planning to blend as I think you should know what drives each investment. I also saw your two notes on CPD so what I think I need is an overview of the relevant price drivers please. Thank you
Q: I have dec calls on GDX, somewhat volatile: I could have gotten out with a small profit twice; should I keep holding for a bigger payoff?
Q: Could I have your thoughts on Royal Canadian Mint please. Value of the company. Is it investable or can money be used better elsewhere (bank stocks)? Will Canada's 150th birthday next year improve the outlook? Thanks J
Q: Would you mind explaining how the one year share price of XHY has gone from: Aug 19/15 at $19.81 to Feb 2/16 at $17.31 and then back up Aug18/16 to $20.01. Is share price only affected by interest rate changes or other things in the ETF that I'm missing? And is there a best time to buy the ETF.
Thank you.

- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.UN)
- BMO Global Infrastructure Index ETF (ZGI)
- iShares Global Infrastructure Index ETF (CIF)
Q: Hi 5i team,
As infrastructure in various countries are now in an expansion/renewal phase, infrastructure stocks may be the new 'utility' stocks of the future. I currently already owned BIP.un. Given the current market conditions, please recommend some Canadian or US listed infrastructure stocks or ETFs that are worth investing in now. Thanks

- BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF (ZLB)
- iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ)
- Invesco Canadian Dividend Index ETF (PDC)
Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team, In today's question from Albert, where would ZLB fit into the mix? I realize that it has a lower yield than PDC, but a better long-term record than it or CDZ. Your thoughts? As always, the advice I receive from 5i is invaluable!
Q: Hello 5i team,
Not sure why my question does not reach you as I've tried twice in the past 2 weeks.......hope it gets through to you in this 3rd attempt.
I am 61 years old and about 16% of my overall portfolio is in bonds. The rest is in income stocks and growth stocks similar to 5i portfolio. The yield return of fixed income instruments is so low currently and I am rather comfortable owning income stocks. Now, I have $60,000 in cash in RRSP and I have the following options. Please comment on each option and your preference and recommendations.
1. To buy several corporate bonds with maturity of 3 to 5 years and to hold till maturity.
2. To buy more income stocks like AW.UN or EIF.un
3. To buy ETF of inflation bonds
4. To buy ETF of high yield bonds
5. To buy ETF of US corporate bonds
Please advise preferred ETF for option 3, 4 and 5.
Many thanks.

- iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ)
- Invesco Canadian Dividend Index ETF (PDC)
Q: Can I have your opinion on this ETF. It has the best 1/3/5yr returns when compared to others in the Canadian Dividend and Income universe. For example it has outperformed CDZ by almost 3% annualized over the past 5 years. What has contributed to this over achievement and is there any reason why it won't continue to do so over the next 5 years?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Q: With the devastating losses I’ve suffered on CXR (-85%) and PHM (-80%) my holdings in the healthcare sector are down to 5%. I was considering purchasing some IBB to bring it up a bit. After my experience with CXR and PHM I’ve become a bit worried about owning individual healthcare names and am now feeling more inclined to want the safety and diversification of an ETF. How do you feel about IBB or do you have any other suggestions? I already own GUD, SIS, and XLV.
