Q: This ETF in your Income P/F has been pretty flat since 5i started it, I think in 2014, and do you think it will remain a long term hold? How much of a hit would you expect it to take with a quarter point rise in the Fed rate and what is its duration? Thanks, J.

Q: Do Vanguard ETF's actually own the shares in their ETF's or is it some derivative that they use? If they don't own the shares, what risk does this present? I seem to recall that there was a difference between Blackrock and Vanguard in this regard. Is that true?

Q: I know you do not cover US stocks, but do you have any comments on the payout ratio of Royal Dutch Shell, and is it sustainable. At 7.5% Dividend, it looks attractive in an income portfolio.

Q: I am surprised that the Intact share price has been going up, despite the (presumably) large claims it will have to pay due to the Alberta fires. In fact, it is now at the same level as it was before the fire broke out.

Any idea as to why the fire does not seem to have had any significant effect on the (current) share price? Thanks!

Q: Comments on Photon Control's Q1 results please.

I really like this small unique company. No debt and tons of cash which it seems to add to every quarter. I'm thinking about adding to it some more at these levels. One thing that has frustrated me; however, is the cash stock pile not doing much... just sitting there on their balance sheet.
Thanks
