Q: BNS, like all the Canadian banks has had a good run. would it be a mistake to cash out and look to some small caps?? Thanks Jim

5i Research Answer:

Small caps are long overdue for a run. However we would not vote BNS as a SELL, and would prefer adding some selective small cap exposure rather than switching wholly from a safe bank into a far more volatile area.
