Q: I have read the About Us section on the Topicus web page: "Topicus.com is a leading pan-European provider of vertical market software and vertical market platforms to clients in a select group of public and private sector markets. We build, acquire and manage industry specific software businesses which provide specialized, mission-critical and high-impact software solutions that address the particular needs of our customers." So, if I got it right, Topicus is in a sense a mini CSU operating in Europe, is that right? In terms of their business and what they do, are there differences between CSU and TOI? Thank you

Q: Over the years CSU has been building in my TFSA and UnReg account to the point where it is too large of a single holding. I am thinking of selling enough to buy two stocks and keep an equal amount of CSU. Thoughts are buy KXS and TOI. I would very much appreciate your suggestions/thoughts on this please. Open to US ideas as well. Thanks again.

Q: I have difficulty to understand the purpose of the spin off. Both companies are chasing for the same type of companies to continue their growth. How are they going to proceed when there is a target ? They will probably have 2 acquisitions teams working in tandem ? Which companies are going in the CSU portfolio and then in the topicus portfolio ... Thanks

Q: I own Real Matters (REAL), Topicus.com (TOI.v) and Flex Ltd. (FLEX) within a larger portfolio. I would like to sell two of these 3 companies. Which of the 3 has the best growth potential and would be the best candidate to add the proceeds of the sale to?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
This is a two-part question, so please feel free to deduct enough credits.
(1) In Portfolio Analytics, is it appropriate to enter zero for the cost basis? After all, we didn't pay anything for these shares. (Thank you 5i)
(2) In our combined accounts, prior to the spin-out, we were already overweight in Technology, holding ABST, CSU, ENGH, XIT, and KXS. In order to balance our accounts, what, if anything, would you recommend we do? It would be costly to reduce all the holdings which I'm reluctant to do.
Thanks in advance for your valued advice and opinion.
