Q: Hey Peter & Team,

Apologies if I missed the answer when I searched, but I found it difficult to find my answer when I looked for a U$ dollar equivalent to "CASH." What would you suggest 3 - 6 months hold??? OR is there a U$ ETF representing GICs?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Happy Holidays,
I have a question about tax efficiency on HISA ETF investments in non-registered accounts. Do the dividends received from these ETFs qualify for any dividends tax credits? Or are they being treated as interest income, such as GIC, which will be subject to the usual marginal tax rates?

Thank you,

Q: Good day,

I was considering parking US$ funds from my brokerage account in SPRXX (Fidelity® Money Market Fund) or VMFXX (Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund). However, I am given to understand that Canadian citizens cannot own US mutual funds. (Thank you for the guidance!)

Is there something else that you can suggest for US$ in lieu of these? How do they compare to Canadian ETFs CASH.TO or PSA.TO in terms of safety etc?

Thank you

Q: Further to your answer to question: Can you suggest a US ETF similar to CASH in Canada, dated Feb 24, 2023 10:30 AM, what about a HISA Mutual Fund like NBC101, current rate = 4.15% ?

Q: Hello I’m wondering if you could name a couple of USD traded etfs that would be as close to the equivalent of PSA or CASH but trade in USD either on a Canadian or US exchange if necessary. Thanks

Q: I believe you have suggested PSA as a means of accessing higher interest on cash and maintaining liquidity and avoiding risk. Is there an ETF that fits this bill for US dollars that you would recommend that trades on NYSE or the TSX? Appreciated as always.
