Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In many of the ETFs that track US healthcare, some of the sub-sectors took a hit yesterday while others outperformed. Is it too early to tell what this portends? Given the new U.S. admin, I’d be grateful if you could share your thoughts on your favourites in this space, especially among the broadly diversified ones. Thanks very much.

Q: I'm considering an investment in India. What do you think about a long-term (5+ years) in that country? Capital gains are my primary interest. How should I invest there - Fairfax India (FTD.UN), Excel India Growth & Income Fund, INDY or XID? Do you have other suggestions for that market?

Q: Hi Peter,
These long bond etf (ZLC, XLB, ZFL) have done very well with YTD total return of 10.48, 10.35 and 8.91 respectively
Why have they done so well?
Is it too late to consider them for RRIF income investment going forward? If so, which one do you recommend, thanks

Q: Good Morning
Last summer Vanguard issued the above four Factor ETF's. The funds are still small; but have attractive MER's. I have very little non Canadian equities. Would you suggest any of the above four at this time? They would account for about 5% of the portfolio.
If not the above what would you recommend?

Thanks as always

Q: As a senior retired investor I have most of your Income Portfolio and BE Portfolio. My question is about my fixed part. I had some bonds come due and also some GICs. Since the rates are so low I am at a loss to know where to put the fixed part of my portfolio. I am tempted to just buy something like BCE and Fortis and let them collect dividends, which is more tax efficient. I understand these are still stocks and not fixed income. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hello,

I have 100k (non-registered) that I need to use for a child's schooling over the next 5 years. I will need 20k each year for the 5 years. Looking to balance preservation of capital while looking to at least match inflation over the 5 years. No interest in equity. How would you recommend going about investing the funds? GIC's? Short term bond funds? Money market funds? Recommendations?

Regards,

Robert
