Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would appreciate your ETF suggestions for a non-registered account that provides some growth and reasonable (3% + ?) dividends that qualify for the Canadian Dividend Tax Credit. This is new money going into an existing account that has no capital losses available (yet!). Current holdings are BAM, ENB, EIF, ZUT, VDY . Have other registered accounts with diverse equities. Looking for something that is not too volatile & would like to keep the number of total holdings at no more than 7. Could increase or replace ZUT &/or VDY if recommended. The ETF landscape is very challenging to wade through !

Q: Hi
I am considering the smith manoeuvre and would prefer to invest in an etf rather than individual stocks because of the benefits of diversification. I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts on a few ets that would qualify and would also be less of a hassle in reconciling the ROC and ACB during tax time. I would appreciate your insight in smith manoeuvre using and etf rather that dividend paying stocks. I am in the 50% marginal tax rate. Thanks

Q: 3 ETF growth portfolio: In the April 2016 issue of MoneySense magazine, on page 14, there is an article titled, "A Growth Portfolio for the Long Term" It is made up of these ETF's. I did a backtest assuming the portfolio began on Nov. 18, 2013. The total return is 34.55%, or 11.61% per year. What is your opinion of these ETF's and this combination for a long term sleep-well-at-night portfolio? Are there other ETF's you'd suggest? (IWO perhaps?) BTW, no rush to answer this question.
