Q: Which companies are competitors of OTEX ?
Read Answer Asked by Robert on October 26, 2020
Q: Hi, I have owned ONEX for about a year and down 18%. I would like to own a private equity co. ONEX's purchase of Westjet was bad timing and the airlines will continue to struggle going forward for some time I think. In a recent question about ONEX, you said ONEX has lost money and revenues have not changed for the last 8 years, so just curious, what drove its stock up from $35 to $100 between 2013-2018?? Would you continue to hold? I'm thinking of selling ONEX and switching into KKR or BX?? Or possibly buy more BAM? In this low rate environment, PE should benefit right? Looking for long term growth in my LIRA. Thanks!

Q: Private Equity is an area of investment that has been getting a lot more attention recently. Which listed asset managers specializing in Private Equity are worth looking at? Would the multiple-recent-name-change firm SuRo Cap Corp. be worth inclusion in this group?

Q: Hi,
I've owned ONEX in the past but currently don't have any exposure to private equity and I'm looking to get back into this space. Should an average long term growth investor have some exposure to this asset class? Looking to make PE 3-5% of my total portfolio. Can you rank the mentioned stocks from best to worst and which ones are best for long term growth and capital appreciation. Any other suggestions or advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Q: I invested in Blackstone in early 2018. It's had a fairly good run up since then. At the time it seemed to have a bright future, offered a reasonable dividend, and provided diversification through their investments in private equity which I had no exposure to.
How do you feel about it now? Worth holding onto for the same reasons?

Q: I have done very well with my Blackstone holding in recent months, having bought it in the high-20s. I still think there is upside to the mid-40s, but toying with the idea of taking some profit (maybe selling 30-50%) and buy Boeing with the proceeds. I think Boeing will figure out the 737, and continue to think it is a worthwhile addition as a core US$ large cap holding. Would be curious to hear your views on both names at this stage. Thank you.

Q: One of my largest holdings in my RRSP is Blackstone L.P. Today they announced they are converting to a Corporate structure as at 7.1.19. It appears the market likes it. What effect will this have on the dividends (ie: yield & taxes), the SP now and going forward in your estimation? Should I buy more (to a reasonable % of course), sell or hold?
