Q: Hello 5i,

Can you rank AIA (ETF), TT, and KKR on their potential for growth over the next 5-10 years. We own 3% positions AIA for Asia exposure and KKR due to their global footprint,

Would any of the 3 above be a high conviction stock to add to a TFSA at 1/3 of a position?

Thank you
D&J

Q: TVK has recently shown some weakness and hasn't made any recent acquisitions - this is probably due to the large ones made already recently and the need to incorporate those although maybe it's something else.

I am surprised that with the recent share program @ $160/share and being over subscribed that it would have given more of a floor to the stock so is the weakness a good opportunity to buy shares and if so, what is a good price to start or add?

Btw, does the company give indication on the size of its M&A pipeline?


Thanks as always!

Q: There has been a huge run in the AI related stocks which your service has nailed. Thank you! Are there other sectors that you think have growth and upside right now, and why? If you have a sector(let's say gold, or consumer, etc), could you give a couple names US and CDA as well? Or should I just look in your portfolios for your picks?
