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

Q: Just wondering if you have any thoughts regarding two companies that operate in the footwear category: Deckers and Skechers. These companies appear attractive because of their offerings in the marketplace. Deckers owns the hugely popular HOKA brand while Skechers has developed the step in technology which, I think, is a game changer.

Are you comfortable with either or both for small positions in an otherwise diversified portfolio.

Thank you

Brad

Q: Could you please offer an opinion on Skechers,
particularly in the context of recent softness for the likes of Nike and Foot Locker? I'm thinking there's a good match-up (like Dollarama) for a rebounding theme of "thrift", as well as a growing demographic tail-wind provided by an aging
population in much of the world. Anecdotally,
the local outlet store is noticeably busier, with line-ups at the cashier on occasion. Thank you.
