Q: FYI, BMO just started covering FSZ with an OUTPERFORM rating. The added exposure bodes well, congratulations on picking another winner ahead of the pack!

Initiating Coverage of the Small-Cap Canadian Asset Managers: BMO Capital Markets analyst Nik Priebe launched coverage
on the Canadian asset managers. In general, he believes the asset managers offer competitive dividend yields and attractive valuation
multiples in the context of historic averages. Dividend yields of 5-6% are largely covered by free cash flow. The small-cap
asset managers also provide a significant degree of insider ownership, which we view as a positive attribute supporting a better
alignment of management interests with those of shareholders. Lastly, for investors concerned about the impact of new mutual
fund regulations, the small-cap asset managers offer lower exposure owing to a diversified asset mix. His coverage includes:
- Fiera Capital (Outperform): provides investors with exposure to a unique growth strategy, strong earnings momentum, and a
competitive dividend yield.

Q: Good morning 5i Team,

I'm interested to buy a position in CCL B. Please advise if the stock will continue to grow in the next few years. Is it better to buy before the split or after the split in May this year? Is it better to buy the A or B shares? I note the PE is high! What is your opinion on management, ,divident growth, momentum and valuation?

Thank you!
Rossana.

Q: Noticed a question earlier about the convertible debentures (TCN.DB.U); just wanted to bring to attention that this is a USD denominated debenture and the conversion price of $10.46 is also quoted in USD. So, based on the current CAD/USD rate this was issued at the typical premium as the concurrent subscription receipt offering was at $9.90 CAD, and the stock is still trading below the conversion price which would be roughly $13.90 at today's CAD/USD rate.

Q: Had a bond mature and am considering replacing it with TCN.DB.U. Seems like a pretty good deal, 5.75% 31-MAR-2022 maturity with conversion at 10.46. It's trading at 103.00 and TCN is at 10.90 so you get over double the yield and it should trade with TCN because its already above the conversion rate. Some convertibles come to market with the conversion price 30, 40, 60% above current equity price. Why did this new TCN convertible come to market already at the conversion price?

Q: Hi,

Thank you for the report on FSZ. It seems like a good company trading at a low valuation. Why has FSZ's share price fared so poorly over the past 5 years or so? (It seems to trade for a lower price than it did 5 years ago). Does the fact that FSZ's share price has declined for most of the past few years affect its rating?

Thanks,
IF

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
In your latest newsletter you mentioned to trim SIS back down to 5%. I have a very small position and hesitated on adding to it because it kept moving up and I thought I had missed my opportunity. I'm now up 150% which represents 2.7% of my portfolio (thanks for that and I'm now kicking myself for not taking a full position).
Is it too late to top it up to 5% now?

Thanks for this great service.
Rob
