quiet,

at 30 your biggest risk is not taking some risk

inflation is not a bitch today but it can rape a portfolio that is too risk averse in 5 years.

you probably want something like this

10% foreign equity funds
10% US/CAN technology funds
20% north american blue chip managed funds
10% Canadian index funds
20% low risk mutual
20% bonds
10% cash

but tax is another big issue

I used to do this for a livng in London, my own personal recommendation would be get 3 portfolio assesments from accountancy firms if you are low risk.

I can recommend a head partner at Grant Thornton canada if you need.
