Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm currently in SIS, but not happy that they haven't grown the company this year and am worried the cuts to maintain net income may hamper future growth, unless a major acquisition is made.
I have a long term horizon and rarely sell, but I am considering a switch to REAL. Would this be wise in your view, or should I be more patient and forgiving with SIS?

Other than personal RE and BAM, I currently have no equity exposure to RE at this time.
Thanks,

Q: This company seems to check all the boxes. Gaining share in a market, operating a capital-light business model that is tech-enabled with the network-effects of a platform connecting independent real estate professionals to lenders while growing new lines of business adjacent to their bread and butter (in Title Insurance and Data). Does this company seem too good to be true and there's some suspicious going on that we don't understand as minority shareholders?

If the business is so good, go high margin and so easy to win deals with Tier 1/2/3 suppliers doesn't that sounds like there barriers to entry are low and there may be increasing competitive forces coming up the rear end?

Q: Hi there. After listening to the cc and investor say as well as the Q&A here, it would seem that a major growth area for REAL to land a tier one bank in the US and once done leverage the refi platform to go for originations in T&C. My question is, would the completion of an agreement with said bank(S) be considered material or would it only be communicated in quarterly financials?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Regarding REAL: you mentioned it is now a weighting decision. I am a patient investor who likes to buy quality companies while they are at bargain price. If a full position is 5% in an already diversified portfolio, up to what weighting would you recommend? What surprised (disappointed) you and the market in their quarterly results or conference call?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
