Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i team,

Could you suggest some dividend growth companies that look attractive at current valuations?

Thanks

Q: my question regards our holding 2.5% in enb and 2.5% in ala both pay wonderful dividends but both are down about 6% in our portfolio...would you keep these both these stocks or remove one of them ...we also own a 1% weighting in wcp in energy but a 4% weighting in kwh.un and vnr...this is not a burning question but one that we feel possibly needs to be addressed and you are the people that know best so thank you for your advise...

Q: In my technology sector I hold CSU, ABT,ITC, KXS, MDA and OTEX. These stocks share equal weights except for Constellation (CSU) is up more than 300% and is now taking up 30% of my 15.5% weighting in this sector. Although I do not want to sell CSU, should I be looking at rebalancing and replacing perhaps half of my CSU with another tech stock? If so, would you suggest a new one or recommend adding to one or more that I already have. Thank you for your views on this.

Q: Hi there,

I currently own a slightly modified version of the Balanced Equity Portfolio (MG/XTC, SLF/GSY, BNS/ZZZ and ENB/BLX). In addition I also own SHOP, ZCL and PHO. In your opinion, do these 3 names from the Growth Portfolio represent your best ideas or would you substitute any of them at this time? I know SHOP had been one of your top ideas when it was trading at a much lower price - does it still remain as one of your top ideas with the recent run up in price?

Also, I noticed Peter had selected BOYD as a top pick when he was last on Market Call. I was curious to know if this is somewhat of an indirect play on the auto sector and if I should swap XTC for BOYD at this time?

Thanks for your excellent service and advice!
