Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i Team
1 - Please update CSW.A after last week's quarterly results.
2 - From the MD&A, Pernot Ricard owns 51.6 % of the class A (CSW.A).
Are there any other significant (>10%) shareholders of the Class A (CSW.A)?
Are there any significant holders of the Class B (CSW.B)?
3 - Could you speculate on whether Pernot Ricard would eventually take over CSW or is there an obscure provision in the Class B shares prohibiting this?
Thanks for the great service.

Q: What would be a good company to buy shares in for a teenager for his first investment? It was mentioned before that it increases interest in investing if the teen knows about the company. I was thinking of Costco, Disney, Mcdonalds?
Would you be able to provide a top 3-4 names in Canada and 3-4 in the US as suggestions? Thanks

Q: A JPM analyst made the comments below in an article I read. 5i has also noted this rotation to date. Do you agree with the below and could you list 6-8 stocks in both the US and Canada that would benefit most?
=============
The massive rotation into value stocks that rocked investors two months ago is going to extend into 2020, according to J.P. Morgan’s quant guru Marko Kolanovic.

The quant, whose reports have moved markets in the past, predicted rotation, going so far as to call it a “once in a decade” trade.

Value names staged a comeback in September after years of underperformance as investors bet on economically sensitive, cheap stocks on hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal. The strategist believes the rotation has more room to run on the back of the improving macro environment.

Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please advise me which securities to sell and/or lighten up if I was to buy a house. Please take into account the prevailing economic environment. Let’s say the mix is 80/20 stocks to bonds/interest bearing certificates and the securities are evenly dollar-wise represented.
Thank you in advance,
Rick

Q: Good afternoon!
I am helping a friend move away from mutual funds, and I note on Bloomberg that the "Current Mgmt Fee" for this fund is 2.1%, and the Expense Ratio is 2.61%. Am I correct in thinking this means that 4.71% comes off the top here before valuation?
Also, over 77% of this fund owns other BMO funds, which I assume have their own deductions not included in the above. Is this also a fair assumption? Of interest, it says it is 2% to redeem!
Thanks! … Paul K
