Q: Hi, What's your opinion for subscribing to the secondary issue at $227.10 ? I know, IFC is a company liked by 5i ( Bal Portfolio ). Is it a reasonable price to start a position ?
Thanks

"CDPQ announced today that it will sell 2,312,000 common shares ("Common Shares") of Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) representing approximately 1.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of IFC as of February 26, 2024 (the “Offering”).

The Common Shares are being sold on an underwritten block trade basis at a gross price of $227.10 per share "

Q: Hello Peter,

The insurance sector has been outperforming this year and I am wondering if it is still time to add to sector weight.
Your preferred choice here is Intact Financial and if I do not increase my sector weight, I will have to replace with selling either SLF or TSU.
What is your opinion?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hello,

I own IAG and it recently missed earnings expectations by 5% and, as a consequence, the market reaction was brutally punitive. How can you compare IAG's overall financial strength to larger Canadian Insurers, say IFC and MFC, and are there overall reasons to worry apart from the market's bad quarter reaction ?

Q: Hello,
I own some FFH and have been concerned by the Muddy Waters report (it's description in the press as it was too specific and complex for me to read and assess) and am wondering if you think it will affect the performance of FFH in the long run and if it is intrinsic to the manner FFH usually does business, compared to, say to another insurance co such as IFC which is more transparent in it's reporting?

Q: ".. priced US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029" ..... "goeasy intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes"

I suspect they are just taking care of business here. I thought their debts were not particularly large considering their business. Thoughts or reassurances plse.
