Q: Hi 5i,

Is there an explanation somewhere as to the meaning of the % at the bottom right corner of the Income Model Portfolio? The headings are: Portfolio; Benchmark; Active. An explanation of each line in the chart would help me understand the relevance.

Thanks for the help.
John

Q: Could you suggest a diversified mini portfolio of Cdn stocks from your BE portfolio? The portfolio is too small to accommodate the full BE set of stocks. Thank you and happy new year.

Q: I’ve held PBH through thick and thin for over 5 years waiting for the “growth” to materialize and yet after this time I’m down nearly 20%. How long do you give a company to perform before moving on? Even if I was just breaking even I’d have some more patience with this but the opportunity cost of 5 lost years and a 20% loss is telling me it’s time to find something else. Your perspective would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
Just a few questions on FSZ. It seems that the stock has been in a holding pattern for the past 2.5 years. Where is the payout ratio at these days with the stock? Has the AUM increased or decreased in the last few quarters?

Are you still confident of this stock in the income portfolio?

Andrew

Q: Hi , so at earnings release one year ago share price jumped 20 percent. Seems to be unusual in that the market wouldn’t anticipate this when there seems to be a lot of clarity in the company’s updates and outlook. Is the the current situation the same as last year and should we assume a similar outcome after earnings release on 11 Jan. Seems quite interesting as to how this will play out. Have a good un dudes.

Q: MG data on your website:
1. are the numbers shown in $U.S. ?

2. Price to Cash flow seems to be at about 8. However, FREE cash shows as negative Can you explain the difference?

3. Graph seems to show consensus 2023 earnings at $8 / share
Is that in USD? Wouldn’t this mean stock is trading at about 8x 2023 earnings? Seems pretty cheap
