Q: 5i recently responded to a question on sector classification / weighting by stating that your ideal sector setup would have 'around 15 sectors' opposed to the TSX's 11. I'm curious to know what your ideal sector classification setup would be, and what your ideal sector weighting would be today given a blank slate for a risk on investor? IThis will allow me to vet my existing portfolio with your sectors to see how it stacks up and if its too overweight / underweight anywhere. Thank you.

Q: Hello, I would like to know why the size of an etf seems to be a factor when 5I answers questions relating to etfs. My understanding is that regardless of its current size when a buy is initiated the fund provider just has to add the appropriate amount of units to satisfy the purchaser via buying the underlying stocks in the market. Does this create liquidity problems/a wider bid ask spread? Your comments, as always, would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you. Linda
