Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is a hard stock to stomach. Do the wild swings in price have to do with the fact that it is not heavily traded? What size of a position would you recommend that an aggressive investor hold in a portfolio? My thinking with this name is that you either have to trade it or hold it and forget it. I am inclined to go with the latter option, subject to your comments about valuation. I note that the short float has increased recently which always makes me nervous. Thank you, Jason

Q: Good problem to have - I own the above ETFs. Combined, there are now about 6% of my portfolio - I also own Axon, which is another 3% of my portfolio (up 65%). Am I getting too high into defence-related positions, or does the diversification in the ETFs mean that I could consider higher positions? What would you consider the top end regarding percentage of portfolio, and would you tie the Axon into the calculation? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team - First a general question on the topic of AI. Is agentic AI the sequel to generative AI and from an investment point of view are companies that are developing or involved with agentic AI ones we should be looking at now. Specifically is UiPath one to invest in along this theme and do you have any suggestions for other ones that may be equal to or better than UiPath. Thanks.

Q: Can you analyze AVAV as a potential investment? Look at growth, moat, competitors and catalysts if you don't mind. The stock has had a good run but it seems to have potential with all of the new NATO spending that is projected. In addition, please suggest any other companies that you more strongly believe in as likely to benefit from military spending with an emphasis on smaller companies with higher risk, higher upside. Thanks and Happy Canada Day!

Q: For Crypto exposure, I have a 1.5% position in COIN, a 2% position in GLXY (up 25%) and a .5% position in MSTE. I want to invest another 1.5% by either bringing COIN to 3% or investing in HOOD at 1.5%. Would you add to COIN or diversify into HOOD? Would you be comfortable with 5.5% total in diversified Crypto holdings?

Q: Hello,

I read with interest this passage from a big fund quarterly report:

“We sold our smallest holding, Lumine, a small vertical market software business spun off from Constellation Software and still controlled by it. We’ve had trouble getting too excited about these spins from the mothership as we previously sold Topicus, another Constellation-owned business. These spinoffs tend to be nice businesses, but tiny and illiquid. Plus, Constellation continues to control the business economics and voting rights. It makes more sense for us to concentrate our research focus on Constellation.”

Is it fair to say that large funds often face challenges in initiating or maintaining meaningful positions in spinoffs like Lumine or Topicus, particularly due to limited liquidity and the ongoing control exerted by Constellation Software?

Thank you in advance for your insights.

Q: Have owned ENGH forever and enjoy the growing dividend but looking at the the ten year chart I shake my head and wonder what's wrong. With its balance sheet strength etc why is it so flat and going nowhere? Is this a management problem, industry issues? Could I get your opinion on this? Would you replace it and with what? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Is it the business these guys are in or is it just the people can’t get a success fire lit under this company and stock?

I don’t know what my total return is since buying as a 5i stock years ago, but I’m clearly not a great allocator of capital. This selection did offer income but at the cost of share price.

Analysts are finding positives but year over year things are just blah.

If they sold the business to large US Tech player, would it fetch much more than current share price?

Thanks
