Investment Q&A

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

Q: I understand that VGT and XLK are extremely popular US technology ETF's.
I also understand that many popular US exchange ETF's are extremely tax efficient If I held these in my taxable account will there likely be capital gains/losses declared annually? If so, where can I find this historical information?
Would my broker provide this tax information annually to help me prepare my tax return?

Q: A comment, not a question. A RIF withdrawal can be in cash or in kind, so rather than selling a stock to make a cash withdrawal, you can do a withdrawal in kind to your non registered investment account.

Q: RGTI What are your thoughts on this company, would you buy?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have to sell something in my RRIF to raise cash for my annual payment out, and can't decide between selling a portion of GSY or a portion of PRL or a combination of the two.
They're currently of roughly equal value in my RRIF, but only because PRL has gained far more than GSY since each was bought (PRL- 125% to GSY - 24%).
I'm not too concerned about losing the dividends either of them pay, and want to keep the one most likely to produce the most capital appreciation over the next year or two. And I'm not adverse to selling some of each to raise the required cash if that 'diversification' seems wise in the circumstances.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Good morning,

I'm looking to add an asset manager on the US side. Or possibly adding to BN as well in my non registered.

With a bit of a pullback do you have a preferred company in that space at current valuation and future prospects.

With a possible buy range as well please.

Thank you!
