Q: Good morning and Happy New Year to all at 5i,

Portfolio Analytics tells me to increase my US and international exposure. Please suggest some ETFs that would accomplish this goal, and at the same time provide a dividend (even a small one) and have growth prospects. This would be for this year's TFSA investments. Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: In trying to decide which ETF’s to buy, I am concerned with the credit duration of some.
Ex: XTR 3.78 yrs. ZMI 3.77 yrs. VCNS 7.82 yrs
What is the significance of these in view of the current business cycle mainly interest rates.
Also, at this time would you favour an ETF more or less exposed to bonds currently. Is a fund manager able to quickly sell his bond holdings quickly when interest rates rise, what is their strategy ?
Thank you so much.

Q: Class F Capital Shares (the "Federation Capital Shares") . These are offered by caisse desjardins. We have some older "permanent" shares which Desjardins wants us to exchange for capital shares. I didnt buy these and i am not even sure what they are. They almost seem to be a kind of preferred share. Just wondering with your wide expertise whether you know exactly what these are. And more importantly, whether they are worth holding. I am thinking no.
Thankyou for any help and all the best in the new year
