Q: Hello 5i Team,
I currently hold throughout my accounts BAM.A, BBU.UN and BPY.UN. I like what recent investments made with BIP.UN. Would you consider a switch of one of my existing holdings and/or am I over exposed to Brookfield as whole?
I have a Long term Time Horizon.
Thank you

Q: Saputo has a significant investment in Australia. How much has the fires affected the supply of milk and the distribution of its products in that country?
The company annually increases its dividend a very modest amount and the share price remains quite flat. In light of the above is SAP still a hold?
Thanks for your great advice.

Q: I've held Artis Reit in my RRSP for quite a few years. I'm thinking of replacing it with H&R Reit. My thinking is H&R Reit:
1) has higher quality assets
2) is almost 4 times the size of Artis Reit (base on market cap)
3) pays a larger dividend
4) is at least as diversified geographically and by asset type (office, retail, industrial, and residential) as Artis Reit

I have two questions:
1) Is H&R just now heading into the problem of too much concentration in Alberta that Artis went through over the last few years (so this may not be the right time for the switch)?
2) Is Artis share price going to appreciate over the next qtr or two from its divestiture of properties at above the REITs NAV? If so, maybe waiting a qtr or two before switching would be better.

As always, I appreciate your insights.
All the best to the 5i Research team in 2020!

Q: Both these companies shares seem to me, based on fundamentals - choose any - seem way over priced. SHOP especially is in the stratosphere in terms of valuation. What the heck am I missing? Do you have an in depth explanation that can convince me that I should own either using XIT ETF?

Q: Hi 5i team,
Looking to add 2 stocks (2-4% position) in my RRSP portfolio from the following (MG, KXS, CSU, GSY, WSP) for a holding period of 5-10 years, not too concerned about market volatility. Looking for quality company (good operator in his business, good balance sheet, etc…) with good growth potential.

What would be your top 2 picks from these and why ?

Thank you
