Investment Q&A

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

Q: In a recent update 5i stated they would: "Trim iShares Canadian Preferred Shares ETF (CPD) to a 3.5% Weighting - Trade Rationale - We feel that the thesis for preferred shares has begun to play out..."

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by the thesis "has begun to play out"?

I bought some heavily discounted preferred shares in late 2023 and have seen the unit price bounce up 50% and still paying a strong dividend (over 10%) even at the new price. Trying to balance risk / reward and super curious on your thoughts on the preferred share "thesis".

Love your service and thank you!!

Q: This Brookfield Office preferred is trading with an over 12% yield and if I understand correctly is resetting on December 31, 2023 at a higher rate. Why is it trading down lately with rates so high and resetting so soon. Knowing that it is higher risk would you consider it a buy for its high yield. Also could it be called for a large capital gain on Dec 31.
