Q: I have a question about portfolio allocation for a pre-retirement investor. I have 5 years before retirement, and when retired, I will have to rely on my investments only as I have no public sector or corporate pensions. While my current investments seem sufficient for retirement, I am concerned about inflation and bear markets, so portfolio allocation is very important to me.

My current sector allocation is 10% energy, 10% health, 20% financials, 10% industrials, 15% tech, 5% telecom, 5% utilities, 5% materials, 5% consumer staples, 10% consumer discretionary, 5% real estate.
My geo allocation is 33% Canada, 60% USA, 5% developed, 2% developing. I currently have about 25% in cash that will be moved to short-term bonds when interest rates stabilize.

Do you consider this sector and geo allocation reasonable? What allocation would you recommend for a typical pre-retirement investor with a relatively low tolerance to risk?

Q: More of a comment, post if you feel relevant to others. I received a Tax Residency Form from my Financial Institution; asking me to declare whether I am a resident of the United States or other Countries for tax purposes. Not happy, I contacted my FI and was told this originated via IRS to CRA. I questioned why received when I have never been anything other than Canadian, they said possibly due to US stocks even though these are only held in registered accounts

Q: Hi Team,
Atz beat earnings and things appear to be going strong on all fronts for the business…yet the stock tanks some more today. Is this one of those disconnects where an investor should be buying more shares ?
Also …with the brutal tech selloff what are some of todays choices to buy for potential multi bagger over the next few years once the carnage stops? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i

I'm far too naive/optimistic to believe we are headed for seriously tough times ahead - just what will it take for markets to settle down a bit and what indicators do you monitor to give a hint of turning a corner ?

Thanks
