Q: I've owned SLF for a number of years. I'm considering the switch to IFC as done in the balanced portfolio. I get a DRIP from SLF each quarter. With the amount of money i have invested i would not get a DRIP from IFC. How much weight would you put on this to favour staying with SLF?
5i Research Answer:
We had a big debate about SLF/IFC at 5i Research, because we quite like SLF overall. With the benefit of a DRIP, which we think is one of the wonders of the world for investors, we would not see a huge reason to switch.
