Q: I am constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the intention of holding all positions for the longterm, holding the following equities in equal weight (likely only one of MRU or L - or should I include both?), with 80% of the portfolio consisting of these individual equities and 20% in the ETF VGG.

Would there be any in this list you would not include, and are there other Canadian equities you would consider for this list? Is this the appropriate number of positions for such a portfolio. Please deduct multiple credits as required, thank you.

Q: I have held Brookfield for 15 years. I have reviewed their investor presentation several times in the last week. With the Wealth Solutions and carried interest projected growth they forecast a 25% Distributable earnings growth is possible over the next 5 years. It looks like they have shifted gears and the next 15 years of business growth should be better than the last 15. Any comments

Q: I have held BAM in a taxable account since the spin off.: position size of 1.65% and a gain of 109%. I also hold BN in both taxable and registered accounts: 2.97% position size and 60% gain. My aim going forward is to maximise growth. Is it a good idea to keep holding both or should I consolidate all into BN going forward? There are enough capital losses accrued to offset the capital gain on BAM if that is sold.

Q: Yesterday you answered a question regarding three companies you would buy for growth for five years, asked by Judith. You gave the first three and left out your favourite company of all time, CSU. I imagine that is because we are focusing on growth and CSU, being bigger than the others will likely grow less. I tend to be a little leery of lmn and don’t have a high percentage. But, where would it fit, and what would your choices be, if the question was asked in such a way that growth was important but also relative safety? Safety, not in the sense of say, the banks, but something with good prospects for above average growth?

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue

Q: Good morning,
I own a 3% position in BIPC and smaller positions in BBUC and BBU.UN. I was thinking of selling all three and adding to BN before the split. I also own BEP.UN.,BAM, BEPC and BN. This is in non -reg account. Since they are relatively small gains, taxes are not an issue. Thanks, Paul

Q: When looking at portfolio weightings and the Brookfield companies - do you consider each incarnation of the brookfield empire as a different company or do you consider them the same? Trying to figure out if I should trim or not, given their connections.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Would 5i Research consider publishing a full company report and rating for Brookfield Corporation (BN)? I currently hold BN, but I find it challenging to fully understand its multi-layered business model and strategic direction. A comprehensive 5i-style report would be invaluable to investors like me, helping us make more informed decisions about this important Canadian company.

I have the same request for AEM.

Best regards,
Matt
