Q: I have read your answer to a previous question on the recent TRI stock split. I am not a professional and don’t understand what is going on. Is there there is any downside to just keeping my stock and doing nothing?
5i Research Answer:
TRI is essentially paying a special dividend of $1.36 in the form of a return of capital so it is more tax efficient. We don't really see much reason to be concerned with the transaction.
