Q: Hi
Presently own ZDI in our RRSP.
I am thinking of replacing ZDI with KKR & BRK.B.
KKR and BRK.B are bigger and are like an ETF without the fees.
Also in the long run I think KKR and BRK.B it will have better growth than ZDI .
We would be giving up a good dividend with ZDI go.
Thank you.

Q: I just came across this quote within an Economist article:
“If you can earn 12%, maybe 13%, on a really good day in senior secured bank debt, what else do you want to do in life?” Steve Schwarzman, boss of Blackstone, a private-investment firm, recently asked.
Are there any bank bonds that you could suggest that would fit in this category?

Q: Retired, dividend investor looking for income with this trade. HMAX is currently 1.8 of my equity position, down 15%. Would this be a good time to average down and take advantage of their 14+ dividend. How safe is the dividend? Do you have any other options
Q: Can you tell me a little about this etf please? How are the dividends handled? I'd there a withholding tax?
Thanks

INVESCO QQQ Trust (QQQ)
Q: My daughter is invested in just these three ETFs. With a 40-40-20 percent weighting. The reasoning was diversification, growth and safety. YTD she is up 20% but the laggard seems to be the one based on the TSX. Can you make any suggestions concerning this strategy? Thank you!

Q: I want to take advantage of capital gains in bonds that I expect to occur as rates decline but I am unsure whether I will get that benefit with an ETF like XBB as much as with individual bonds. Can you tell me how that works with the etf? I assume as they buy new bonds at to replace their maturing ones, that will take away the capital gains advantage as they buy them at par in the higher rate market.
Q: Hi,
I see HSAV managers have suspended it's subscriptions and recommends not buying shares. Here's a quote from their website.
"... investors should note that during a period of suspended subscriptions, the Manager expects shares of HSAV to trade at a premium to its NAV per share.
Due to this expected premium, Horizons ETFs is strongly discouraging purchases of shares of HSAV during this suspension of subscriptions."
Can you explain why they're making this recommendation, the risks in buying shares now and do you still recommend buying HSAV shares to park cash in a non-registered account?
Thanks.
