Investment Q&A

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

Q: This and another preferred are going to be redeemed by CIBC. While I lose a nice dividend (and it was about to reset at a higher rate), I profited from the redemption. My holdings are about half they once were due to redemptions. So I am wondering if I should return to the preferred market (which has been nothing but erratic), or reinvest the funds back into Bonds and Stocks.

Q: Hi,
Brian asked about private equity on June 25. In your response you mention that private equity is not correlated to other assets. I am looking at the 10 year performance of PSP vs. SPY and their charts move up and down in almost perfect parallel (pre-COVID run ups, COVID crashes, post-COVID run ups, etc.), with PSP returning 93% and SPY 234%. On a 4-5 year time scale, PSP/SPY/NGPE move up and down in parallel as well. I am struggling to find a reason to invest in a private equity ETF based on this. Is it because an ETF, regardless of what it is investing in, is in fact correlated since it is traded like any other equity?
Thank you for all the great information your provide, Michael

Q: Thank you for your excellent answer to a very pertinent question by Brian this morning (25-06-2024) on Private equity.

You didn't include your all time favorite company BN :) How come? Also, sometime ago when I asked about non correlated assets, you had mentioned about the US companies like KKR,BX,BLK etc., They didn't get a mention in your answer to Brian either.

In your answer to Brian you had suggested ETFs both in the US and one in Canada. Do you have any particular preference?

Last but not the least, from your answers to various questions, I get the impression that you are not too concerned about the impending crash! You still seem optimistic. In that case increasing the allotment to Private equity is bit premature, no?

Take as many credits as it is warranted.

Many thanks.

Q: Long term holder of SIS and PBH, but would you endorse a switch to EIF over one of those two as part of a long term balanced portfolio?

I know there should be brighter days ahead for both SIS and PBH, but EIF looks appealing....
