Q: BGI started out at $10.00 with a .15/qtr, dividend with a target yield of 6%, about 10 years ago. It has managed to keep paying the .15 quarterly dividend since, but the unit value has been mostly below 10.00 since it started. It appears now to be trading near it's 10 year low and the current yield is over 12%. It looks like further downside is possible with rising interest rates and also as it trades at a premium to book value. It looks like the payout ratio is over 300% at present. Your thoughts on the following questions. Is the dividend safe at the current level given the securities it holds? With the payout ratio so high is the Fund forced to do an equity issue to maintain it, or do return of capital payments? Do you feel this is a good entry point? Finally, how likely do you feel that they may reduce the dividend back to the 6% yield level in order to preserve cash in the fund? Please deduct as many credits required to answer. Thank you for the great service. ...Will

- BMO Short Corporate Bond Index ETF (ZCS)
- iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Corporate Bond Index ETF (CBO)
- Purpose High Interest Savings Fund (PSA)
- Global X High Interest Savings ETF (CASH)
Q: Hello,
What is the difference between PSA and CASH?
Also, I own ZCS and CBO and was wondering if I should increase my allocation to CASH and PSA while reducing my allocation to ZCS and CBO considering the higher rate (better yield) on the short end of the curve. It seems to be higher income / lower risk strategy. Can you please provide your comments. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
Sorry for all the preferred share questions but I'm having problems finding US based fixed rate perpetual and if possible cumulative preferred shares. The ones above are on my buy list can you name three more preferably in other sectors that have high to highest ratings or are unlikely to default. I still have memories of 2008 with the CDOs fiasco so like diversification if possible. Thanks for your service.

- Loblaw Companies Limited (L)
- Corby Spirit and Wine Limited Unlimited Non Voting Class B Common Shrs (CSW.B)
Q: Hi. I’ve held Corby since April 2020 and did some profit taking in April when it was trading in the high $19’s; and added to PBH which was trading down.
I’d purchased Corby for safety/stability and reliable income. The dividend is variable and occasionally fluctuates. It has a low beta and has held up well until recently; as I suspect that many investors are seeking better opportunistic for growth.
I’’m considering selling Corby and moving to Loblaw’s Perpetual Preferred for largely the same reason I’d purchased Corby, for safety/reliable income with a lower beta and somewhat higher dividend. It is currently trading at $23.00. As interest rates fall, I can see where there will be some modest growth in addition to a relatively safe dividend. I’m considering L.PR in order to maintain my sector allocation.
In 5i’s view would this trade make sense, or would I be better off “staying the course” on Corby? I currently don’t have any preferred shares. My holdings in the Staples Sector are Corby, Northwest Company and Premium Brands.
Are there any other Staples Preferred shares (either rate reset or perpetual) that you feel are more attractive?
Thanks!

- Sun Life Financial Inc. (SLF)
- Intact Financial Corporation (IFC)
- Power Corporation of Canada Subordinate Voting Shares (POW)
Q: I own 5% and 2% positions in SLF and POW respectively. I'm looking to take a 2% position in IFC. Is there enough P&C business to set IFC apart from the others and make the decision to add this stock? i.e. not so much overlap.
With regards to the whole Financial sector, what percentage allocation does 5i see as a sort of maximum?
Regarding the P&C business, I'm wondering if the eventual reliability of self-driving cars will negatively impact IFC's business. Not sure if you have an opinion one way or the other on this.
IFC has had incredible growth. Is the industry still fragmented enough for them to sustain this growth?
