Question:
I have approximately 1/3 of my investments in US and 2/3 in CAD. I’m going to start transferring funds from my financial adviser to my iTrade portfolio, starting with my US stock. I have some questions:
1. Should I transfer my stocks in kind? That way, I can pick and choose which ones I sell and re-invest in ETF.
2. Which Canadian and US ETF’s should I be looking at? A good portion of my portfolio is dividend based.
3. Should I sell only small blocks of stock to purchase the ETFs? There are several stocks that I would take a loss on and they are in my RRSP.
