Q: Hello Team,

I am setting up a TFSA account for my son, he would be saving this money for a house down the road (at least 5-7 years away).

I was thinking maybe purchasing 3-4 stocks and 1 ETF for him to hold, can you let me know what you would recommend. We are going to deposit the max he can deposit which is 19.5K.

Looking to maximize growth.

Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon 5i
A number of people have asked about the best small cap etf. You have sometimes mentioned ijt as a good one. But, lately you have been recommending ijr. In the answers 5i always mentions whether or not someone on staff holds the given stock or etf. I was curious as to wht you would say that ijr is your preferred but not own it and own ijt, though
Thanks

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?

Q: I wonder if HPS' compensation policy includes SBC annually. If that's the case and we look at the stock's performance over the past 3 years, the stock was $12. in 2022. If the options are vested after 3 years as is often the case or worse if vested 5 years is'nt there a danger of putting a lid on the stock price until the options are totally vested and cashed? I'm worried that the money invested in the past year will be dead money no matter what PE shows. Right or wrong?

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR
