Q: It has been suggested that this time of volatility is a good opportunity for upgrading the quality of one’s investments. It has also been suggested that one not panic and do anything precipitously. I currently hold WCP and TVE, not surprisingly at a considerable loss; many commentators point to CNQ as top grade. What is your view of selling the 2 and replacing with CNQ - switch or hang tough? Many thanks.

5i Research Answer:

We would consider CNQ more or less 'best in class' and 'better' than the other two mentioned. That being said, the others we think are fine overall and have good potential. They may 'bounce' more in a recovery. So, it becomes a question of quality vs potential. Depending on one's sector weighting goals, we think all three could still be owned. If only one, though, we would side with CNQ.
