Q: I am thinking about adding IHI to my RRSP but understand that there may be a withholding tax given that it is a US based fund. What is a withholding tax, how much is it, and what are the implications when I go to file my canadian income tax? (I am relatively new to the investment world and don’t want things to get too complicated when having to report losses/ gains)
Thank you for your guidance.

Q: I am looking to get some exposure to the health care sector and thought I would look at an ETF as opposed to a single company. I'm considering either XLV or IHI and would like your opinion of these two ETFs, and which you would prefer. I would be adding the ETF as a full position in my RRSP.

Also, if there is another ETF that you prefer over these two, please include that in your response.

thanks for your insight

Q: Hello Peter and gang
What can you say about IHI, it seems to be pretty good over a 10 year period. Is there any other etf in the same field. Is there a Canadian version?
What are you expecting the quarterly report to be for TFII. Is this a good long term hold.
Is it time to jump into PHO. Held it before and did well. Is this a good time to jump back in.

thank you

Q: Hello Peter and Team
my question pertains to my US trading account invested in all stocks. I have done well so far. Now I want to switch to all ETFs portfolio for more stability and less maintenance in the medium and long terms. I intend to buy the above for 20% each.
Please let me know if my strategy and choices make sens and do not hesitate to provide suggestions and adjustments.
I value your opinion as always.

Q: I propose a 8-9% allocation to this sector. I would sell GUD [gain] and small position in CPH [loss]; hold TD Health Sciences at 15% [good long-term performance and good cross-section of sector] and add to ISRG initial position. That would enable me to add approx. 15% to each of IHI ETF {little overlap with TD Fund], ZTS, IDXX, ILMN, and LHCG.
This is a difficult sector to pick stocks. What would you advise re allocation and selection?

Q: Hello, I am looking to add IHI to the healthcare allocation of my portfolio (10%) but would like to sell one existing holding first. Current healthcare related holdings are JNJ, ABBV, GUD and SIS (although I have SIS filed under Industrials). My question: which of JNJ and ABBV would you advise selling? Thank-you.
