Q: Hello 5i,

With the rise in the USD and decline in Asian and European stocks and ETF's, is this a good time to purchase ETF's for those zones with the anticipation that the ETF's will increase if the usd declines in value in the next 2-3 years?

If so, can you recommend one ETF for each zone for the cdn and us exchanges?

Thank you.

Q: For European blue chip exposure with attractive yield, CDN domiciled, for an income account, is ZWP the only/best option or are there alternative on the CDN exchange.

Looking for an etf with close to 1b in assets, with blue chip holdings, a minimum 3% yield to compliment a long term retirement income account

Q: Considering the fact that developped markets other than Europe are rare and that there is obviously overlap in the two. What is the advantage if one on using XEF over XEH for diversification purpose. What other countries are included in XEF? Which would you choose?

Q: Please rate these Europe ETF's in order of your best choices. VGK; ZEQ; XEH; XEU; VE.

Q: Could you recommend one or more ETFs than invest in Europe? Also would you go with the hedged or unhedged version and why?
Thanks

Q: I am looking for an all-cap European ETF...any recommendations, preferably in CDN$

Q: I am buying European exposure via one of 2 ETF's, either XEH or XEU. As a CDN resident, how might the Cdn Hedged ETF ( XEH) help or hinder my future ROR ?

Q: Good morning,
I currently hold ZWE in my TFSA and I have two questions as follows:

a. Given that there is a witholding tax on ZWE when held in a TFSA, I was wondering if it would not be better to simply sell ZWE and buy it back in my RSP instead. I note that in one of your responses to a similar question, you recommended that ZWE be held in a Non Registered account. Not sure that I understand the rational for this over holding ZWE in an RRSP. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
b. Do you think that it is wise to invest in Europe, UK in particular at this time and if so, would you recommend a change from ZWE to another ETF with a better growth opportunity and if so which one?
Thank you and Merry Christmas to the 5i team.

Q: XIN makes-up 1.50% of my portfolio. Should I add to it or purchase shares of XEH as suggested?
Thank's for your comments.
Ron

Q: Could I have your evaluation of this ETF. Could I load up to 5%?

Q: Given current valuation of US market, from risk/reward perspective I wonder if European market is more attractive to invest (Brexit impact?)If yes, which sector or names you recommend, are there any etfs (I prefer hydged to CAD)?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i- The 4 etf mentioned are all ca. hedged. As such my concern is the cdn. dollar direction going forward. I don't see any good non hedged options. Should I stay the course or do you have a better suggestion. thanks for yur input.
