Q: Hello,
As per Morningstar’s equity style box the 5i portfolio stocks fall under following categories.
BE:- Large = 8, medium = 9 , small = 9,
value = 5, blend = 5, growth = 16
Inc:- Large = 4, Medium = 4, small = 11,
value = 9, blend =6, growth = 4
Is that the strategy you have implemented for the 5i portfolios. Are the classifications accurate in terms of value,blend and growth.

Thanks for all the good work

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I am currently invested in various etfs under my wife and my registered accounts.
1) I would like to make BE portfolio as my core portfolio with about 20 stocks in it. Which stocks should I exclude and also please recommend 5 to 10 stocks from the Income portfolio
2) Should I split the portfolio holdings between my wife and my registered accounts to reduce the transaction costs or it is a good strategy to keep the same holdings as a separate portfolio in our accounts. We have an investment timeframe of 15+ years.

Thanks

Q: A recent BNN interview appeared to suggest that ecn had or was becoming a facilitator of finance rather than engaging in direct exposure to the finance obligations, collecting fees for arranging the engagement, and the TD notes on this Co indicate that it is becoming an originator and asset manager, which to me seems to indicate a similar strategy. Would this not make ecn more economically sensitive to the sectors it participated in and less affected by the passage of interest rates and how would this affect your appraisal of ECN?
