Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I follow your growth portfolio (with a long term horizon) and own some RRX shares (very small position). So obviously we are both down on this one. Unless there is another offer, am I correct in assuming that you will wait for the best price you feel you can get for RRX to minimize overall impact to the growth portfolio? If so, I'm thinking that selling my RRX shares when you do (i.e. after you issue a change to the growth portfolio) is probably the best course of action. Essentially, I'm looking for clarification on how to use 5i's service effectively now and in the future. Thank you.

Q: I would like to start accumulating the stocks in your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I own BNS and SLF in DRIPs as well as TSGI and RHT in my RRSP. I am overweight in financials with DRIPs for NA and BMO. I have small investments in Telus, TRP, SU, and BCE. These are all also DRIPs.
I am quite torn as to where to start. I don't like many of the valuations including that of CSU. If the valuations were lower, I would not be posing this question. I have lots of cash in my TFSA, RRSP, and spousal RRSP. I realize this is not great as the money is not being put to good use. Any suggestion would help.

Q: Along the same vein as Jeremy's question of July 18th, when it comes to the positions held in the 5iR Growth Portfolio, what would you suggest, or rank a most likely fine or some combination to achieve diversification to be held in a TFSA?......Thanks to 5iR for your outstanding service, like it's so real life educational about equity investing.....also to Jeremy's for his question, too......Tom

Q: Hi 5I team
Could you please break down the diversified Portfolio into which stocks you feel are best suited for a non registered account, a TFSA, and a RRSP. I am about to start a non registered portfolio and I want to be on the right track with this as I will be moving some things around. I am mostly thinking about ongoing and future tax implications and keeping things simple.
Thanks
Jeremy

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
