Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

New to investing and I have about 20K to invest to start...wondering how you would recommend to best distribute that? Looking for long term investments. Ok with some risk.

Q: Hello 5i! Prices seem to be dropping on these over the past few days. Would you be comfortable buying them, and in which order please?

Q: Hello! I invested some of my young son's money into bkcl, thinking that Canadian banks are reliable and it will grow over time. The fees for the ETF are high, but it pays about 12% dividend monthly. It actually pays more, but I have deductions as I don't live in Canada. What is your opinion about this kind of etf, ie based on Canadian banks, high management fee but very high regular dividend? Thank you!

Q: Hi

Q: Good day everyone. My holding in the following companies represent 25.11% of my investment portfolio across 3 registered and 1 cash account:
BN 5.00 %
BAM 2.36 %
BIPC 2.22 %
BIP.UN 1.35 %
BEPC 1.25%
For a total of 12.18 % amongst the Brookfield group of companies

CSU 5.49 %
TOI 1.81 %
LMN 1.40 %
For 8.7 % in CSU and associated companies

MLF 4.23 %

Collectively these holdings represent about 25.11 % of my holdings at the end of the 3Q.

I understand that your services are not to give personal advice but would value and appreciate your opinion on the weighing of these investments, specifically in the Brookfield group. The portfolio has done reasonably well (thanks fot 5i) but don't want to get complacent.

Much appreciated.

Q: In a recent response to a CSU Question, you said they are trading at 24Xs with a historical range of 16-24. So, in a scenario where the market takes the SP back to the 16 range, what is the downside in the SP from current levels?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi team,

What are your thoughts on the current valuation of this company?

Do you believe there is still a significant runway over the next 15-20 years?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team! I think I saw something like this a couple months ago, but if we talk about the Constellation team, what would your ranking of these three stocks be today, please? Thank you.

Q: For greatest return potential 1-3 year timeframe regardless of sector for TFSA, which company would you choose for CDN stock and US stock. Thank you!

Q: I’m considering setting up a TFSA for a spouse who is not interested in selecting stocks/managing investments.
Should I stick to ETFs or mix ETFs with a few conservative stocks?

Q: We are planning to set up a separate investment account for our grandkids. Assume a 10 year hold. There are a few sectors we would want to overweight - 3 stocks, CAD or US, in Financials, Industrials, Technology and 1-2 stocks in the others. What would you look for and how would that translate into individual stock selections.

Q: If YOU were a growth-focused investor building your portfolio, what would be the MAX weight (%) YOU would give to the following Canadian names without losing sleep at night? As always, the portfolio is for long term buy and hold with a 5-10 year time frame.
CSU
BN
ATD

Q: I am concerned that AI will disrupt traditional software companies including the companies within the CSU family. What are some early signals that would indicate AI is disrupting CSU's traditional businesses and growth prospects?

Thanks.

Q: Hello, and thank you for an informative service. In theory, what are your views on adding to a so-called expensive/highly valued stock when your original cost basis is quite low? For example, I keep reading how Dollarama is at a high premium right now. I have a lot of it, and my original cost basis is about $97. Even adding a couple thousand dollars would keep it at something like $97.50. as a general rule or idea, is it worth building on positions like this? Also, I don't know if this would be considered a second question, but if you could rank the five stocks in order to purchase today keeping in mind my original question, that would be much appreciated. Thank you again.

Q: On Sep 23,there was a Q that TD now allows partial share purchase of CSU.Is this just for TD clients?If open to the publicc,please provide symbol. Tx for U usual great services & views

Q: I was happy to learn recently that TD now offers partial share purchases which I think is a great way to afford buying a company like CSU considering its 4000+ cost. I have a small amount to invest and was considering buying a partial share of CSU. At this point in time, considering current valuations and the potential for long term capital growth, would your preference be CSU or one of other Constellation spin offs LMN or TOI. Please explain why you would choose one over the other two. I intend to make this stock purchase within a TFSA. Many thanks for the for the great service that you provide.

Q: Would you buy a full position in BN and CSU today or would you do it incrementally over the next few months and wait for a potential pullback?

Q: Hello,

We are retired investors and own all three names in the group, with CSU - 13.5%, LMN - 4% and TOI - 3.5% weights. SHOP is the only other Canadian Tech at 5.5%, in addition to US Large caps tech holdings at 7%. So Technology sector is >30% of our combined portfolios. There is enough income through dividends and pensions.

Despite trimming CSU by more than 50%, over past several years, its weight continues to grow. ( Great !! )

1. Do you consider > 30% Tech holdings reasonable as a sector allocation, TODAY, for an investor ( with moderate to high risk tolerance ). If not, in what order would you trim ?

2. Would you be comfortable with 20% of portfolio allocated to Constellation Software family, more specifically 13-15% to CSU and what would be your high watermark for its weight. ( We particularly like CSU for its steady Eddie profile and prospects of more spin offs)

Thank You
