Q: Hi Guys I am looking for an ETF to hold in my RRSP for long term that would mimic the S&P or DOW can you recommend a couple with low fees? Do you think this is a good idea to get a broad basket exposure to that market? Any other EFT recommendations i.e. Canada or international would be nice as well. Take off what you think for question points.Thanks

Q: Hi5I
We are giving our 3 grandchildren $5000.00 each, so they can each open a TFSA account. Our intention is to give them the same amount for the following three years.
Considering the size of the deposit, and the fees for the accounts, your recommendation on where to open the accounts and what to buy inside the accounts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks MJ

Q: Whats your take on Defined Maturity Bond ETF's such as BSJK? As I understand it, bonds in the ETF are held to maturity to remove market value risk from rising interest rates. I've aways used ETFs' for bond holdings. However with all the noise on what rising interest rates can do to portfolio values, I'm currently mainly in cash for my fixed income allocation. Instead of buying an ETF, do you think its "practical" for a retail investor to purchase sufficient holdings to be diversified ( and held to maturity ) in order to to accomplish the same "de-risking" without the MER? And lastly how many high quality corporate bond holdings make it diversified?

iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Corporate Bond Index ETF (CBO $18.57)

iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY $16.79)
Q: Hi team,
Just a point of confusion: TD Direct Investing treats CBO, XHY and the like as equities, while in your Portfolio Review these are treated as fixed income. Does this matter as long as one is consistent in their assignation of the sector / allocation? I think it does matter as it changes the perspective of the portfolio as a whole. I would like your opinion.
Thank you
Stanley Cohen

Q: The value of this ETF seems to have been holding steady at between $19.50 and $20.00 over the past year. What would make this ETF move higher or lower ? There is now talk of interest rates starting to move up, plus speculation that the Fed will get rid of some of its bond holdings. Are either of those likely to have any effect on value of this ETF ?
