Q: hello 5i:
we've owned JPIE for just under a year now and am very happy with returns, and low volatility. Two questions:
One: is performance mostly due to timing eg. expectations of lower interest rates, meaning if expectations reverse, price would fall?
Two: what would you consider to be direct competitors to JPIE, possibly with less risk, when (not if) rates begin to rise again?
thanks

Q: hello 5i:
Recently tried to buy JPIE in our Investorline account, but the trade would not go thru. I then spoke to an Investorline rep who advised there was a trading halt on the security. I can't find anything, on any site (JPMs included) about a trading halt. Can you shed any light?
thanks

Q: In september you were asked for your assessment of jpie.

With recent expectations of interest rate increases less likely and possible reductions in 2024, would your thoughts have changed…or do you see this as a worthwhile addition to an income focused portfolio?

I already own Jpeq. and Jepi. Would i be better just adding to one or both..The yields seem to be much higher.

Thanks
