Review of Sun Life Financial Inc.
MAR 26, 2024 - We still expect some tailwinds for the sector as investors re-value solid dividends from insurers. Following the good fourth quarter, the outlook for SLF as a conservative insurance company with efficient ROEs and attractive dividend yield has largely remained unchanged. We are maintaining the rating of ‘A-’

Q: Hi Peter and all at 5i. Wishing you the best of the season!
Peter, first of all, I really enjoyed your last article in the National Post. Your financial stories were highly entertaining.
I manage a RRSP for my daughter-in-law. She has approximately 24K in cash due to a GIC that recently matured. (She got 5.16% interest).
She has these commission-free ETFs: CEW, QQC.F, XHC, XIT, and XST. She would have to pay a $10 commission on the following stocks and ETFs: BCE, BNS, FTS, PBH, SLF, WSP, ZIN, and ZRE.
Question 1. In what order would you suggest she uses the cash to purchase more of the commission-free ETFs?
Question 2. If there are compelling reasons to do so, in what order would you suggest she uses the cash to purchase more of the stocks and ETFs where there is a $10 commission?
I’m hoping that this question can be answered before Christmas if possible. Please use as many question credits as you see fit to provide a comprehensive reply.
Thanks as always for your valuable insight.
