Q: Since the announcement of accounting changes this year for insurance contracts, it seems to have accelerated the downward movement of this stock's price. I'm trying to understand if this is a short term impact, or ongoing.

Will there be a point where the (theoretical) positive impact of rising interest rates put the brakes on the decline?

In the past I've heard the narrative on insurance companies that they can simply keep raising their premiums when business is negatively impacted. Not sure if you agree with that. I am a long term holder and am trying to decide whether or not to bring my weighting of this company back to 5% after its recent decline.

Q: Good Morning 5i Team,

I hold TOI, CTS, ENGH in one account as my small cap technology allocation. Price action of course has been brutal since last fall. Would you continue to hold all three names or would you recommend getting rid of one or more ?? Would you add to any ?? Do you have any alternatives that may have better risk / reward in an eventual tech recovery ?? Thanks very much for your help. DL

Q: Would you be able to give some thoughts on the recent price action of NTR? I had wanted to pick some up, but waited for a pull back. Got some under $130, saw it pull back some more and got some more at about $120. It's still dropping however, and I'm a bit perplexed as to why it is dropping. Thank you.

Q: I hold WSP from 5i's Balance Portfolio and wonder if this stock is over priced in this market with a forward P/E of 22.8x (according to Koyfin). Just prior to COVID in January 2020, WSP traded around $96 and now it is about 40% more. Is WSP over priced in this market? What is their main focus on the consulting front?
Thanks!
