Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and 5i Team,

I have held a small position in Crawford for a number of years, mainly for its dividend, low price/volatility, and as a hedge for extreme weather impacts due to climatic change. It tends to do well when there are events that trigger large volumes of insurance claims, as insurance companies can't handle enough claims with in-house staff and then outsource to Crawford & Co. Can I please get your take on this investment thesis and the company? Do you think it's a reasonable hold or do you have a better suggestion in the sector. Thank you.

Q: Retired I am a growth inclined investor. I have AAPL and PYPL in my taxable account for over a year and have bought and sold AAPL twice in the past 5 years. AAPL has been very good to me. The current evaluation I find is expensive. There would be a tax impact but I have no other choice but to sell either PYPL or AAPL to make room for APPS. Would you make the switch or not and if so, which security would you sell?

Thank you for your very helpful service.

Q: Greetings,

I am underweight consumer defensive and consumer cyclical and would need to invest about a $100k in each to get the right balance.

I also need more US and international exposure.

Can you suggest your top two individual names in each category that are listed in the US and Canadian markets?

Lastly, is there an ETF or two I should look at?

Keep up the good work… i am up substantially on TOI based on the guidance received here.

Q: What is your opinion on GXO, the contract logistics company recently spun out from XPO Logistics? It's early days but would you endorse a BUY given the market potential for warehousing, distribution logistics and e-commerce? I noticed the profit margins are fairly low at 2.3%/3.9% in previous years and the company has $700M net debt. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Q: Hello 5i,
I'm looking to add a couple of these stocks to my growth portfolio. I realize some are very new and comparisons maybe difficult but I'd like your opinion on which would have the best growth over the next 3-5 years. Also which would you prefer?
Thank you so much!
Dave

Q: Greetings 5i,

The company's listed are TFSA holdings. The goal of the TFSA is moderately aggressive growth. Time frame is 4-8 years. Equities are purchased in equal weights and rebalanced based on weighting.

SLF and BNS are also held in other accounts, at an overall portfolio percent of ~5-6%. Which would you recommend adding to at this time? What do you consider the weakest from this list? Would you consider removing any from the TFSA holding only in either a non reg or reg account? If so, why? And which one, two or three additional growth oriented companies, either CAD or USD would you recommend.

Take as many credits as required.

Thank you for the excellent service.
