Q: I asked a question earlier about international exposure in US dollars. At that time you said VEA would work. I am just getting ready to put your advice into practice at the moment but I notice that VEA holds 8.7% Canadian. According to your analytics program, I really have to reduce my Canadian exposure and so was wondering whether there was another all world etf with no Canadian. Perhaps, though, 8.7 % is not that bad.
thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Regarding the Van Eyk MOAT ETF which you featured in your 5 from 5i, I notice that there have been 2 questions on this fund. On the earliest question from 2017, I believe, you say that you find it "interesting". And then, by 2019, I think, it is referred to as "gimmicky".
In looking at MOAT I see the holdings are all pretty decent and would probably make respectable holdings on their own.
My questions are:
1.) Would you consider this a suitable investment for a Balanced to Conservative (read retired) investor?
2.) What is your current consensus on this ETF?
For this answer, it might help to know that my U.S. ETF's consist of the following:
EMB (global bond)
VIG (U.S. dividend appreciation)
VRP (U.S. variable rate preferred)
I am also underweight a number of the sectors in which the majority of MOAT holdings fall as well as being underweight the U.S. overall.
I would appreciate any insight you may have about this fund and its potential suitability.
As always - a huge "Thanks"!!!
Cheers,
Mike
