Q: Is there a CANADIAN etf that closely if not exactly mirrors the RUSSEL 2000?
Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
If you were purchasing today, what stocks and/or ETFs would you buy for each of the TSX eleven sectors? (Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecom, and Utilities). Please give at least two choices for each sector.
My daughter-in-law has finally sold her high-MER, low-performing mutual funds, and I have set up a self-directed account for her LIRA, her RRSP, and her TFSA. She is 48 and will probably work till at least 65.
Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem necessary. Thanks in advance for all your valued assistance.

Q: Hi,
Could you please tell me your thoughts on HTO.UN - Global Water Solutions Fund. I know its low volume and is a relatively new fund. But it pays a decent dividend and I'm one who believes that water will become an increasingly scarce and valuable resource in the future - so looking for a way to enter this space for a very long term hold.
Could you also tell me your thoughts on how this fund compares with CWW and if you would have a preference between the two? And do you have any thoughts on investing water related companies/funds in general?
Thanks for your great service!

Q: Dear 5i Staff,
I would like to participate in the energy price recovery and the expected new US Administration favorable bias toward energy companies.
My question is it better to invest in Canadian or US energy companies now
Which of these stock you favor: Duke, Exxon, Chevron or maybe an ETF is better. Any other suggestion.
Thank you and best wishes for the season.

Q: While analysts are still recommending US regional banks as a play on higher interest rates, I heard on BNN this morning that insider selling in regional banks has reached record levels. Do the insiders know something the analyst don`t? I should add that I have a half position in KRE.
Q: Do you think its time to sell VCIT and buy iwo and xlf or other financial etf. Thanks
Q: I need to add US exposure to my holdings and with a view to the anticipated rate increase by the US Fed wanted some assessment of US banks. What is your opinion of the large banks versus the regionals?
Specifically I am looking at Bank of America and Wells Fargo. do you have an opinion on the ETF KBE:US? If not any of these would you have a couple other specific preferences?

iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index ETF (XBB)

Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF (VAB)
Q: A few questions have mentionned the ETF XBB. Since its fee is 0.34% versus ZAG's fee of 0.23%, shouldn't we go for ZAG? I also like the fact that ZAG is a BMO product which means I pay fees to a canadian company rather than a U.S company (bonus points). Thank you.
Q: Hi team, can you recommend an ETF for emerging markets in Asia, lookign for something with lighter China weighting and higher Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. Ideally looking for something that follows the index vs individual stocks.
Thanks

Q: Looking at building my USD assets and then investing it in Vanguard ETFs. Would you invest in the S&P500 or maybe the specific sectors such as consumer staples? If so, what percentage would you put in each sector? Ultimately I would like to invest in specific companies but there is no 5i US equivalent so this would seem like the next best alternative.

Q: Hello and Merry Christmas to all at 5I.
Moving forward I have new funds to add to my portfolio in the fixed income sector. My RRSP portion is fully utilized for fixed income using CBO and XBB so this is new fixed income funds outside of a sheltered account should I still use XBB/CBO or is there some other fixed income source that would be more beneficial that I should consider.
