Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you recommend a hedged ETF that follows the S&P 500, but not with the Magnificent 7 having a lot of weight, as I feel these are overbought? I really like ZUE but it has too much Magnificent 7. Looking for 10% appreciation first year including both capital appreciation and dividends.

Q: Looking to add S&P 500 exposure in my portfolio through one of 3 ETF's;
VFV or EQL hedged or not hedged. Normally would prefer unhedged but with our low dollar may be some merit in selecting a hedged version of EQL.

What would you recommend and could you please provide some rationale for your recommendation. Thanks.

Q: For a 10+ year passive hold of approximately 25% weighting of total equities investment (mix of registered and non-registered accounts), do you see an advantage of holding EQL vs a straight S&P 500 index like VFV including taking into account the fees differences. And for non-registered accounts- CAD hedged or non-hedged?
EQL feels a little better to me even with the fee but maybe I'm overthinking this one. Thank you.

Q: I am looking for an equal weight, cad hedged Etf’s focused on any or all of the following:
- nasdaq 100
- s&p 500
- technology / IT

I hoping something exists. I’m worried about Over concentration in fang stocks but still love the sector they are in. I also think the USD dominance is coming to an end. Thanks
