Q: Thank you for the great investing advice 5I provides!
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on purchasing POW, (which is made up of 70% GWO) and pays a higher dividend, rather than purchasing GWO directly, which trades at a higher valuation?

5i Research Answer:
Over the long-term, both have performed very similarly, and we feel that the decision between POW and GWO comes down to whether an investor wants direct exposure to insurance and wealth management (GWO), or a holding company with diversified exposure to insurance, wealth management (GWO), mutual funds and financial advisory (IGM Financial).
Given the similar valuation levels and dividend yields, we would give POW the slight edge given its more diversified approach.
