Q: A while back I asked about selling ENGH and replacing it with DSG, because I like to follow your lead in the portfolios. You recommended I keep ENG as they are similar, and I'm glad you made that recommendation because the company had a very good quarter/year. In another answer to a member you indicated that ENG may level off now because most of the share response was due to the low expectations by analysts and the surprise. Now I'm wondering if I should sell half of my ENG and buy DSG with the proceeds, giving me two reasonable positions. Diversification. I know this is somewhat like splitting hairs, but you must have a good sense of DSG future growth, or you would not have it in the portfolio. Again, thank you for recommending I not sell ENG last time, even though their good results could not have been predicted. And if you still recommend I keep the one position I'd be happy to do so. Thanks for all you do. And have a well earned holiday. Cheers

Have been away for a short while and am now happy to once again be a part of the 5i Family. My Question..

I have approx $20,000 to invest. It is a credit to your team how well the 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio has performed. I will not be ashamed to invest my funds via following your lead. In looking at the portfolio and with "Growth" in mind, are you able to advise which of the companies within the portfolio you would start new positions?
