Q: Hello 5i Team,
I am searching for a healthcare ETF, and see that you normally suggest XLV, and sometimes ZUH. However, what is your opinion of FXH? It has performed better than XLV over the last 5 years, but has a higher (0.66%) expense ratio (which may be worth it).
What are the major differences between XLV, FXH, and ZUH, and if you were to choose one for a medium risk investor with a long term (3+ years) hold which one would it be?

Q: Given the importance of cyber security this new etf just launched in the us seems like a good place to invest instead of trying to find the right stock. They have 20 stocks in the portfolio including Cisco fire eye Symantec palo networks fortinet. No track record but would you consider it a good bet on cyber security. I am thinking this would be a good place for a percent of my US portfolio.

And related to this, what is a suitable portfolio percentage allocated to USA etf`s for a retiree. Thank-you.

Q: Godd afternoon 5i,
Most of the advisors that I see on BNN are suggesting that the US Market is the place to be for 2015 espacially in the Finance area and the technology area. Do you agree with these suggestions? If you do would you recommend that I invest for My RRSP in XLF.US and XLK.US?
Thank you and happy new year.
