Q: Hi 5i team,

I am trying to save to retire early or if the doesnt happen then just have much more saved when I do. I know I should max both TFSA for my wife and I, but how much %-wise should I put in a registered vs a non-registered? I'm stilll 14 years away from my ideal retirement date and about 24 from my latest. Right now I have about 30% of my total saving in a non-registered account, and have yet to max out my wifes RRSP but should I just put it all in a registered account then use just the TFSA for liquidity? I'm sorry if the question is not quite within the purpose of 5i, but I do value you guy' opinion highly.

Thank you

Q: I am retired and consider safety and a high dividend yield with growth potential important.

I am a fan of the Brookfield companies and hold both BEP.UN and BIP.UN

My concern with BEP.UN is that RBC estimates its 2017 ACFFO payout ratio at 109% and may stay elevated for several years. It believes it to be fully valued and its share price is above target price.

I know you like this stock but should I be concerned? Thanks

Q: Where can I find past model portfolio updates? I am a new member and would like to review the historical trades in the portfolios along with a brief description but I can't find anywhere that has past trades unless I open up every monthly report.

Q: I currently have about 5%- 7% of my portfolio in materials - SJ and MX specifically. If you accept the thesis that worldwide economic growth is improving would it be wise to also have some metals representation in my holdings or would you expect all materials to grow at the same time - i.e. a rising tide lifts all ships. I was thinking of Teck.B for this purpose if you think it is warranted. I do realize that 3 stocks are usually better than two for diversification but I only want to add (or switch) if you think I would be missing out on an important sector.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi, with the rise in interest rates, I was expecting to see a bit more of a bounce in SLF and MFC. Currently, I have a 1% position at a much lower entry price on SLF, and about a 4.5% position in MFC. Would adding more SLF here for a longer term hold now that rates have moved up here make sense? The entire portfolio is pretty well diversified and I have time on my side.
