Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! What are thoughts about Air Canada as a long term hold. I bought it during the pandemic in hopes that there would be a good surge in growth when things reopened . I recently read an article that the business travel end of the airline industry may not be so rosy because a lot of companies are going the more cost efficient Zoom route. With inflation and the cost of gas making travel more expensive recreationally, there may not be that quick come back. Your thoughts? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Really don't understand why WELL keeps stubbornly going down even though they have successfully integrated their acquisitions in the last 2 years. They are soon to be profitable and yet no one seems to pay them respect. I realize that we're in a tough market but is there something else? They just raised money to make future acquisitions. Are shorts still after them? What is it that I'm missing?

Q: Good day.

I am trying to justify in my mind, if I should continue to have my investments in individual equities or in etf's. I was wondering if you could help me decide.

Currently. I am fully vested in the Balanced Portfolio for the Canadian side of my investments.

When I compare the performance of the Balance portfolio and an ETF HXT which is TSX total return it looks like this:


Balanced HXT

1-year 1.98% 13.33 %

3- year 9.13% 11.48%

5 - year 6.92% 9.79%

Inception 14.22% 10 year 9.29%

This info was taken from the Scotiabank iTrade website effective May 29th and the Portfolio segment of 5i.

I realize the composition of the 2 are different, but nonetheless I look and see that if I put all of my Canadian portfolio into HXT I would be no worse off and have lots less to worry about and adjust.\

So, in consideration of the comparison I made above can you please help me with the case of why I should stay vested in the 5i balanced portfolio and what are the advantages of doing so vs going totally to an etf.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your input.

Sheldon
