Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've been building out a sub portfolio in my registered account with the above stocks. It's hard to turn down 5-7% yields + growth potential.

Do you perceive any major crossover/risk with the holding all of the above / should I consider consolidating?

Q: We own 10 preferred shares with BCE,BRF,BPO,NPI,PWF,ENB,CU. Overall we are down considerably on capital loss. But making a good return at these current prices. Question to you is, should we keep preferred shares for the current return or take a loss and sell them. Most are in registered accounts so no tax loss is available.

Q: I have cash in my US$ RRSP and would like to park it in a ETF like HSAV but I don't want to be clipped by TD if I move the cash to my CDN$ RRSP account. I noticed HYGH.US in your ETF model portfolio but it is not like HSAV. Any suggestions would be greatly welcome or if HYGH is the best then please advise. Thanks again.

Q: Take the growth portfolio as an example, but this could be applied to any of the 3.
Let's say I only want to focus on 5 companies in this portfolio that would make up 100% of my investments could I assume that the top % allocation would be similar to saying these are the ones that we endorse the most? Or is this simply a construct based on the total number of stocks and other factors that you are considering (risk, diversification...). Said differently, how can we use/interpret % allocation of the model portfolios if we are not buying every company in the portfolio? What assumptions can we make, if any? And yes, I understand you can't give direct advice on % allocations as everyone has different levels of risk, goals, etc but simply trying to understand what is the best way to use that information. Thanks!
