Q: Question for the 5i team. Are there any buys that may prove to good holdings in recession. 2 or 3 us and or cdn. Thanks in advance for sage advise!

Asked by Robert on October 01, 2025

5i Research Answer:

In a recession, good 'hiding places' tend to be in utilities and consumer staples. We would suggest: FTS, H, BEPC, L, MRU, ATD, ENB

ENB is technically in 'energy' but has utility-like characteristics.
