Q: Trez Capital has suspended redemptions of it's funds. Do you have any insights as to why. Have they done this before. Is it a sign of anything to be worried about. (FYI) I almost invested in one of the funds but did not because of the many conditions attached. Are the funds a worthwhile investment?
Thanks
Thanks

Q: Just trying to understand this type of instrument. Why would PGIC drop from $90 in 2006 to $4 in 2010 and then trade between $17 and $4 up to 2025? I don;t need specifics, just a general answer would do. Thanks.
Further to my last question on PGIC, (you may have covered this), why would this not recover after 2010 with the rest of the market?

Hamilton Utilities YIELD MAXIMIZER TM ETF (UMAX $13.48)
Q: I am relooking at the Fixed Income portion of my portfolio. The bulk is bond funds, but it also includes a few GIC’s and a HISA. But what about Preferred Shares, EIT, FIE, TXF, and UMAX, all of which I hold STRICKLY for their distributions? I am currently grouping them in with my dividend stocks but maybe they should be included in Fixed Income? EIT and FIE have paid out the same distribution for ten plus years. Thanks.

Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund (ETSX $22.70)
Q: You recently answered a question about HDIV and ETSX. I currently own ETSX and have been happy with the income and growth it has generated. I am thinking of adding HDIV or EIT.UN.
Could I get your comments on EIT.UN as a comparison to the other 2 funds?
I am a retiree looking primarily for steady income with some growth.

Q: Would the Blackrock Corporate High Yield Fund be appropriate for an otherwise reasonably well-diversified equity-oriented dividend portfolio in the current market environment? I recognize its potential for negative volatility and intend to use 5% stop-loss orders if I proceed with this trade. Thanks for your insights. David

Canoe EIT Income Fund (EIT.UN $15.48)
Q: Dear 5i team.
Can you shed light on why EIT appears to have similar volitility to the general market?
What are the top holdings? Does it use leverage?
Is this something that is just too volitile for a conservative investor? The wild ride with the market last few weeks has got my attention.
Many thanks for your help

Q: Hi 5i
At what share price will FTN discontinue its dividend? I know you've mentioned split share dividends are dependant on NAV but how does one find the NAV value? I cant seem to find it??
How do you view dividend going forward .....?
Does current dividend look like it in trouble at these levels?
And are the preferred dividends fixed or subject to adjustment ?
Thx

Q: Hello. Could you comment on how the yield is achieved in this fund? Dividends will form part and I see leverage was mentioned in a previous answer (assuming there is a net benefit from additional yield over the cost of leverage). Does this fund also employ an options strategy? If no options strategy, am I right that a good chunk of the distribution over time has been return of capital? Secondly, could you comment on the volume/liquidity of the fund over time? I'm thinking of starting a position in this across our investment accounts but am concerned about what might be limited volume on entry or exit. Thank-you.
Q: If you were considering defensive choices in the current climate for a retired client relying on an income portfolio of securities for a large percentage of their income, would you consider VVR? If not, what sort of defensive income-producing diversifier would you prefer?

Q: TYG has had a very nice year. Up 65%. Yet PE is only 4.6 and Yield is 6.6%. Looking for growth and income would this be positive addition to my portfolio?
Thanks.
