      Brandon Beavis Investing great video! Just something I think you should have talked, when talking about dividends. The ETFs that accumulate are also a good option. Because they make use of the compound interest and don’t pay taxes every year.

    As a Canadian myself I find it pretty sad that we don't have access to such great information about finance on the internet! So this video was really helpful to me. I wanted to start investing into REITs, especially the Ishares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF, but now that you have spoken about the MER, I am kinda afraid! Their MER is at 0.61% and the management fees is at 0,55% which seems to be a little high. This is my first time investing into REIT etf and I don't want to mess up.

  • @Steven-wq8tx
    @Steven-wq8tx 4 роки тому +8

    Hi Brandon, I’m pretty new to investing and just need some clarification. So I understand that an advantage of investing in ETFs over mutual funds is that the MER% is typically a lot lower since it is being passively managed. However ETFs also demand brokerage commissions when buying and selling. My question is can it be potentially more costly to invest in a ETF if the MER% + Brokerage commissions >= Mutual fund MER%? Also what variables are factored in when calculating brokerage commissions?

    Hi Brandon, I’m thinking buying of XIU as a first ETF for my portfolio, but have an account question. Even though this tracks the TSX 60 index, it also mentions S&P 500 within it.
    Would this be safe to buy within a TFSA as it tracks a Canadian index, or does it mean that due to the S&P 500 aspect it needs to go within an RRSP?

  • @swass1622
    @swass1622 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks Brandon,Its really helpful to understand ETF, however I do think the price does matter as it helps to be eligible for DRIP. higher prices makes hard for people holding low cash like me, to be eligible for DRIP.Also If u cud explain turnover ratio on choosing ETF, wud be great.✌

    Hi Brandon, thanks for the info! Your videos are very helpful. I understand that the price of an ETF doesn't matter, but can an ETF be over or undervalued? For example, with an individual stock, I can use the discounted cash flow method to figure out the intrinsic value of the stock and compare that to the market price. Is there a similar strategy when it comes to ETFs?
    Thanks

  • @riorin8829
    @riorin8829 3 роки тому

    Hi Brandon, I understand that the liquidity of an ETF is primarily dependent on its underlying assets and its trading volume secondary. That being said , what is considered a healthy trading volume of ETF's in the secondary market for liquidity risk , some funds like the QQC.F is trading with volume of less than 10k in the secondary market. It also holds primarily its American ETF (QQQ) instead of physically owning stocks directly. Could you please explain the potential liquidity risk of this example?

    ETFs also have investment themes or specific sectors - like you have mentioned /
    With a broad based index - the sectors are weighted according to the country's economy /
    Within Canada 🇨🇦 - i like ZLB - and I use this ETFs an anchor.. and I'll add individual stocks positioned in my preferred sector... but as a teacher - you're excellent 😂 - and its a process of learning that's a matter of time to absorb..
    And learning will continue over a lifetime.. /

    How many different ETFs do you recommend a person to buy?
    Say I have $5000 to $9000 in my TFSA, should I buy 1-3 different ETFs, or like 5+ different ETFs?
    Assuming I find 5+ that I may be interested in and that they all have different enough holdings from each other.
    Since ETFs are already diversifying, is it better to diversify further or focus on a few? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Brandon, I greatly appreciate your informative videos.
    My question is:
    When investing in an ETF and lets say its an ETF for the top 500 companies. When you mentioned that ETFs don't have much flexibility, does that mean that if I bought an ETF on say June 28, that my ETF would be fixed to those exact 500 companies whether they exist or not in say 20 years when I decide to sell my ETF, or do those companies get replaced and the ETF updates automatically to reflect the current Index of the top 500 companies?

    ETF's are a great way to dip your toes in the realms of investing. DIVIDEND REITs are an even better option, as that even shows you a bit of the Compound Interest realm - an once you taste that you're never going back to any other type of investing. #DIVIDENDSFORLIFE

    End of the day ETF are pretty much same as stock. The price of ETF is based on how well it is being traded. It does matter which ETF you get even though they are index fund. If there is no volume in trading, there most likely will be volitility and may have trouble selling in a timely manner. If you are a Canadian, it's better buy ETF that is traded in US indexes. You save on foreign with helding tax and usually you get more trading volume. I think it is an illusion that you get diversification with ETF. Here is why, if S&P500 is doing really well today, all of sudden Berkshire Hathaway decides to sell all of it VOO ETF shares and people follow suite, likely changes of the etf share price tanking is pretty high. If you want true diversification, buy individual stocks of different companies. ETF sounds all good theory but only if all investors thought of it that way.

    Generally, mutual funds, index funds and ETFs are lower risk...lower reward. Given that we're now in a bear market for the first time in a decade+ and stocks have sold off MASSIVELY already, I'd much rather go for individual stocks, rather than index funds, mutual funds or ETFs, in anticipation of the coming (eventually) bull market. The risk is significantly lower now than a month ago, and the reward is significantly greater, moving forward with individual stocks. That said, still no hurry to dip your toes in the water, IMO. It looks like we still haven't hit the bottom. Do your research, get your stocks ready and, if you're one of the lucky ones who got out before the crash, you now have PLENTY of cash to invest in much, much cheaper quality stocks. Enjoy...and stay safe out there. :)

    Would you hold an ETF in your RRSP or TFSA? Assuming you're wanting to hold for 30 years. American etfs do better than tsx but I don't want my dividends to be taxed? If I hold in my TFSA my growth won't be taxed but my dividend will be? Any thoughts would help. Thanks.
