Q: My husband and I are in our early 60’s. We do not have a company income. The bulk of our assets are in my RRSP and LIRA accounts.
We are converting his RRSP to a RRIF and my LIRA to a LIF this year and waiting until I am 65 to convert my RRSP so we can take advantage of pension splitting.
We are conservative investors and just want to keep up with inflation.
Would you please suggest a few ETF’s for diversification and a few income ETF’s for our LIF, RRIF and my RRSP accounts. If there are stocks you would would like to include that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Good Afternoon 5i,
After reading the recent edition of your ETF newsletter, I am inclining to invest a bit directly in China. I already hold VWO but, after reading the well reasoned and written article of yours, I may want a direct, China only etf. Especially now that Chinise stocks have been hammered. Although i am a long term investor, I thought I might capitalise on this fall of Chinese stocks. I think it is most prominent in the technology sector. For that reason I am leaning towards KWEB rather than MCHI. But, when I read the article I see that three of the top ten holdings in both are Tencent, Alibaba and Meitvan, with a similar weighting. Although 63 percent of Kweb and 44 percent of MCHI are the weights for the top ten holdings. That is a difference but it doesn't seem like a lot. So, it looks to me that I get a pretty good cut of the technology stocks in MCHI, as well as more safety. I am therefore leaning in that direction. But, I am tempted by a tech comeback, where I might make a bit more with KWEB. I know it comes down to personal decision. But, I have a bit of trouble understanding how big a difference there would be between the two in a tech comeback. So, I thought I would ask the professionals how you would look at this?
thanks for all your great work

Q: An article in today's TorStar indicated that the company will sell 7.7 million shares at a price of $93per share. The underwriters have been granted an over allotment option up to 1.155 million shares.

It's not clear that the dollars quoted were in U.S. or Cdn dollars. If it's in Cdn. then the Monday closing price of $116.57 is within range. Can you confirm? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for the GSY suggestion last year. I am up 400%! That pick will pay for my membership for decades. Thanks to that I am overweight financials. Good problem to have I guess.

As a result, I am underweight industrials and basic materials. I have some cash in my TFSA to deploy. May I have your best idea in those sectors? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you clarify the logic in having a portion of the portfolio in cash? I have seen in past questions you reference a lean stance on cash still being around 7%.
