Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking for an ETF in CAD that does not involve hedging that is focused on manufacturing / industrial with a global focus. If global is not available then at least the focus is on USA. I found XGI but it hedges and has an MER of .68%. VIS will cover USA but is in USD.

Thank you

Paul

Q: Can you share your top picks for Canadian and US ETF's that would cover the relevant sectors (e.g. tech, industrials etc.)? Please take as many credits to answer this as required.

Q: Is there an Industrial ETF that you would recommend for the Canadian and the US market?

Thanks for your service!

Q: What 5 market industry sectors do you recommend for investing in now, ranked in descending order, in the USA, for ETFs that will yield 10% per year including both dividends and capital appreciation please? Same question for ETFs in Canada please?

Q: Hi team,

Could you suggest a growth portfolio of EFTs for a TFSA, with an indication as to the degree of risk for each ?

Is it a good idea to have a TFSA all in ETFs ? Or what kind of mix (ETFs and stocks) would you suggest ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Is there an ETF that provides equal weight coverage of the TSX similar to what EQL does for the S&P 500?
I would like to increase my ETF holdings providing a broad coverage of the Cdn market vs individual stocks. I already have a heavy weighting in individual financial stocks and most TSX ETFs would simply further skew my overall balance.

Q: Please provide your comments on the risk for the above ETFs (low to high) and rank them for potential growth. Are there Canadian equivalents to the US ETFs? Would it be a good idea to purchase the US ETFs in a TFSA? Would these ETFs currently be considered to be a buy, hold or sell?
Thank you

Q: Can you recommend US Industrial ETF-$US or CAD - or both?
Thanks jerry

Q: Are US industrials included?
If so, ~ what % ?
thanks jerry

Q: Please recommend four industrial sector EFTs, one for each of Canada, USA, International, & emergent market, to invest with an about equal good balance of growth and dividends, for say 5 years and up.
Thank you,
Roger

Q: In the Portfolio Analytics it was pointed out that we are underweight in Industrials.. is there a Canadian etf that you would recommend that covers industrials?

Thanks, Lesley

Q: Hello,

I need to sell approximately $100,000 from my Unregistered account. I am trying to hold off as long as possible. Looking for your suggestions on which of the listed ETF's I should sell or should I sell a certain percentage from each one given where the market is now and where it might be going? If Industrials or Health care, etc. are projected to go higher then I obviously want to sell out from some other sectors.

Thanks for your great service. It was much easier to stay the course with my diversified portfolio and Portfolio Analytics keeping me on track.

Q: Can you recommend a Transportation ETF which trades on a Canadian exchange?

Q: I have historically held my investments in mutual funds through a financial advisor. I subscribed to 5i Research approximately 3 years ago and made my first investments in equities and an ETF based primarily upon information obtained from 5i Research. The returns on VGRO ETF and my equities have been 2 to 4 times the gain for my mutual funds. I recently upgraded my subscription to include Portfolio Analytics. Based upon portfolio analytics, my current portfolio is reasonably well balanced with recommendations to add healthcare and industrials as well as some international exposure. I have cash on hand that I want to invest. I will hold my investments for the next 5 to 10 years. I am looking at purchasing some additional equities and an ETF with good growth potential at moderate risk. Please provide top 10 recommendations with rankings for stocks that I should consider adding to my portfolio. Please provide recommendations for top 5 ETFs with rankings that I should consider adding to my portfolio. What is your current view on VGRO? Would you suggest topping up my investment in VGRO?

Q: Good Morning 5i
Could you provide Canadian listed ETFs that you would recommend for investing in to capture potential upside from the US Infrastructure bill being passed.
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i team.

May I please have your recommendation for exposure to Materials and Industrial ETFs please.

Thank you.

Q: what value / cyclical suggestions do you have ETF wise?

Would one play a DOW ETF or the Russell?
or Canadian ETFs ?

Thanks

Q: Hey,

What would be some stocks and ETFs to watch during this rotation?

Thanks

Q: I currently own XAW and XTR in my RRSP and looking to add some more Canadian ETFs/stocks for diversification. Have about 20 year time frame. Can you please recommend some?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Thanks for all your excellent suggesstions/advice in the past and have made good returns.
The current allocation for ZIN in my RRSP is 3.5% and the value has increased by 25%. I was wondering if it is prudent to sell ZIN now and buy XGI so that I can DRIP and add the profits from ZIN to VUN.
