Q: I wonder if HPS' compensation policy includes SBC annually. If that's the case and we look at the stock's performance over the past 3 years, the stock was $12. in 2022. If the options are vested after 3 years as is often the case or worse if vested 5 years is'nt there a danger of putting a lid on the stock price until the options are totally vested and cashed? I'm worried that the money invested in the past year will be dead money no matter what PE shows. Right or wrong?

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
Will you please explain the proposed strategic combination? Looks like if every unit holder tendered their shares for $37, then I'd receive $37 for 30% of my shares and 1 share of the new company for the remaining 70%?
If all unit holders (except me) elected to convert their shares to the new company, is it possible to receive $37 for 100% of my shares?
What is your recommendation?

Q: Reading TSX Money about the combination of A&W Royalties Income Fund and A&W Food Services, it says, "Each Fund unit to be exchanged for one share of the combined company or $37.00 in cash (subject to proration)." As I write the unit price of A&W Income Fund is $33.76 which is a long way from $37. Can you please explain what unit holders have to do in order to get the full $37?

Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: I have noticed that the real estate ETFs have been languishing over the last 10 years. What is your view of the real estate ETFs over the next 5 years? Under what conditions will these ETFs do well? What type of real estate ETFs do you expect to do well (domestic vs international, commercial vs residentical, etc.)?

Please recommend a North American and an international ETF which you feel could do well over the next 5 years. What percent of a portfolio would you recommend include real estate for diversification purposes?

Thank you for this excellent service.

Q: Hi Team,
After the sell off of the last couple days now what are 3 of your favourite Canadian stocks you would be keen on buying today for a long term hold, regardless of sector ranked best to least. Also if there are any US names available as cdrs that are good buys today after some extreme selling I would be interested in those to.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Questions on CTS:

How similar is its business to GIB.A, if at all? Does it make sense to hold both?

Do you have a good feel for its resiliency (i.e. competition and poor economy)?

Is there any vision or plan on this company growing going forward?

Are there odds of a takeover in the future?
