Investment Q&A

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

Q: NRGY is trading about 9% below NAV this morning (Based on Friday's closing NAV and this morning's moves in oil equities). Given that the fund is being closed and rolled into Ninepoint's energy mutual fund, does is it make sense to buy if you are okay with owning the mutual fund?
Also, do you have to accept the mutual fund or can you request cash when a fund is closed like this?

Q: can you explain CEFs in a simple staight forward way? I noticed that some have significantly higher fees than none CEFs. What is driving this? Are there tax implications for a canadian holding a CEF in either a registered or non-registered account. i also notice some issue K-1s and some issue 1099s. What the heck is the difference and how does this impact me as a Canadian investor. If you could also point me to a resource that would be fantastic!

Q: I would like to increase my global exposure and was looking at Cymbria, or would Edgepoint Global be a better investment? From your last answers on Cymbria, you stated it was trading at a high premium. What would be a good entry point to buy Cymbria? I notice it has come down a little bit since then. What about the management fee for these products, are they reasonable?
Thank you for all the advice I have received over the years!

Q: I would appreciate your comments about the very old and sleepy closed-end fund United Corporations Ltd (UNC), which trades well below its NAV. In particular, how safe would UNC.PR.C be as a long-term source of steady income? I recognize that the preferreds are quite illiquid and hence one would want to hold them for the long term.
Thanks!

Q: Could you perhaps give me any information regarding this US fund. Its a very small portion of my portfolio. It has made great returns for me since it goobled up a previous fund I was in, in 2017. The dividend is 16.81%. The stock drops of course every time it pays out. Two things I notice as potential trouble. In 2012 it did a 1/4 split? And how problematic are rising interest rate environment for this fund. Thanks......many thanks your information has made me very happy.
