Thank you
5i Research Answer:
LNF is larger, and much cheaper, and has a marginally higher yield. But, it is more cyclical, and of course dependent on consumer spending. KBL, meanwhile, gets long term (often 10 year) contracts and is highly recession-resistant. KBL has some debt, and currently LNF has a very clean balance sheet. LNF is likely to have more growth, and has massively outpeformed (ten years +76% vs -22%). We would side with LNF if an investor has an appropriate timeframe (3 years+).
