Q: Does the Affirm/Amazon arrangement have any implications for GSY. I wonder if you could explain in a bit more detail the current relationship between GSY and Affirm, and add some colour to what the future might hold for these relationships.

Q: Peter,

Bank profits are massively up. Normally they suffer when the interest rate differential between the deposits and loans is as squeezed as much as it is now. What is the big reason for the huge profit jump? Is it simply the loan revenue from mortgage lending, the reversal of prior loss reserves , the wealth management areas or something else?

Thank you

Paul

Q: Hi there, in a recent question you mentioned that 'owning insurance companies provides a bit more protection from higher interest rates.'

Please suggest a couple of US insurance companies that you'd consider for this purpose and which one you'd choose and why.

thanks a bunch, M

Q: Good Morning,

I would like your opinion on when GSY might be considered an addition to the Balanced portfolio? Is it a matter of sector weighting that would preclude its inclusion? It seems to be a perfect stock for the folio. Growth and a growing dividend.

Sorry for putting the team on the spot!

It’s horrible having made so many prescient selections that subscribers are reduced to questions like this one. Lol

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and 5i Team,

I have held a small position in Crawford for a number of years, mainly for its dividend, low price/volatility, and as a hedge for extreme weather impacts due to climatic change. It tends to do well when there are events that trigger large volumes of insurance claims, as insurance companies can't handle enough claims with in-house staff and then outsource to Crawford & Co. Can I please get your take on this investment thesis and the company? Do you think it's a reasonable hold or do you have a better suggestion in the sector. Thank you.
