Q: I've asked some recent questions and read the reports on these three companies. Different sectors, different debt levels, different valuations, different risk factors but all good companies with pathways to higher earnings and growth. If you only had room for one, which one are you most constructive/have highest conviction on today as a long term hold? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you give a brief explanation of what VMS is. Also is this the main component of all three: CSU, Topicus and Lumine. I have some understanding of the operations of these three companies but am still somewhat confused as to their differences from each other. Are there any major competitors and if so could you name a couple. Thanks.
