Investment Q&A

Q: I originally submitted this question back on Sept 17 but never received a response so I'll try again. I was wondering if you could provide some investment ideas/suggestions for ongoing contributions to a FHSA, as contribution room becomes available each year. Looking for "reasonable" growth without "excessive" risk over the 15 years of the plan. I am thinking of investing 50% of the yearly $8000 allowable contribution to a CAD-denominated S&P500 ETF and wondered which one you would suggest? Or, would you recommend something else? What is your opinion of XQLT - the iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor Index ETF as compared to an S&P500 ETF? For the other 50% of the yearly contributions I was wondering which two TSX stocks and which two CDR's you would suggest for annual contributions until the $40k plan maximum is achieved in 5 years? Thanks.

Q: In the growth portion of my RRIF i like the above three ETFs. Do you see any issues with any of these? Is there much overlap? Other stocks and ETFs focus on dividends, although Canoe is included in that group. Thanks.

Q: Would much appreciate your analysis of this new US covered call ETF from JP Morgan. Is any part of the monthly dividend return of capital? Any cautions here or would you say this is a reasonable diversified covered call ETF with a steady monthly income stream at a reasonable MER? Lastly any similar US ETF you'd prefer instead? Thank you very much - Ken
