Q: So what is the big deal that the staff of 5i cannot buy Cdn. stocks, i do not feel you would sway the market by being involved any more than your ownership of US stocks that you hold probably does not move your stock choices on the US market. Seems confusing to me and outdated.
Thanks Again.
Thanks Again.
5i Research Answer:
This has been a policy since Day One. We wanted no conflicts when issuing reports on Canadian companies. There is an inherent bias and conflict if an analyst is writing a report about a security that they own and can benefit from. There is a natural tendency to 'like it' more. We want our reports to be unbiased opinions only with no hidden agenda.
