Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Realizing that HEB is a new fund, but given its low MER (0.19%) and its equal weighting strategy for the big six Canadian banks, I am considering buying some for our non-registered portfolio. 5i's Portfolio Analytics indicates that our Financial Services sector needs to be raised. In this sector, we already have some TD, NA, and GSY in our RRIFs.

In a recent G&M article, David Berman wrote about this ETF and other new ones. He was pleased, as we all must be, that ETF fees are dropping.

Would you buy some HEB at this time?

Thanks as always for your valued perspective.

Q: I have see. Reports from TD and elsewhere about how extremely discounted BN is. For example “ BN's 75% stake in BAM alone represents ~80% of BN's market cap. The market value of BN's stakes in BEP and BIP (~$17bln combined) more than offsets corporate leverage of ~$16bln, which implies that the market is assigning less than zero value to: 1) BN's stake in BBU (~$2bln); 2) the real-estate portfolio; 3) the insurance business; and/or 4) carried interest.”

How is this company not a “table pounding buy” at these levels given management’s record and current price.

Q: Can you comment on how much exposure the Canadian banks have to commercial real estate in the US and Canada? It sounds like office towers are of particular concern. Could you also comment on residential mortgage risks. And how much impact it could have on the stock prices.
Thanks.
