Q: I have money to invest in a registered account and do not need the funds for at least 5-10 years. I was planning to buy a GIC, but the rates for 1 to 5 year terms are only in the 3% range. Instead, I am thinking of buying ZWU with a 7% return, realizing that there is no guarantee on the ETF price, but the rate of return is significantly higher than the GIC. My understanding is that the utitilies sector is quite stable and the price of this ETF does not tend to move much.

Do you see this as a good strategy to get a higher return with relatively low risk to the erosion of my investment value, given the long time frame?

Also, what would be an acceptable price to purchase ZWU?

Q: What is the outlook for this company for the next couple of years. Do you see if it is a long term hold. I would think that Taiwan Wind Farm is complete by now and should be generating with steady cash flow. This stock seems to be stuck between 20 - 21 dollars, do you see any up- side from here.
Thank you for your excellent serve.

Q: Hi Team,
Looking at Pembina's recent weakness, is it fair to say that currently it would be a better "buy" today compared to Enb which is riding near highs in terms of potential long term growth? When I look at valuation I am seeing a P/E of 16.85 for PPL and 23.25 for ENB. Also, I am wondering if PPl valuation stays low, if it will be a takeout candidate for ENB some day? Market cap of PPl is only 30 billion compared to 137B for ENB. PPL has some valuable assets, including LNG plant currently under construction. Dividends are fairly similar with enb slightly higher at the moment. Thoughts?

Shane.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

An article in the Globe & Mail (May 27) was titled:

“Telus to invest more than $70-billion in Canada over next five years to expand infrastructure”

Given that its payout ratio is now approximately 100%, and if interest rates should rise while there’s a slowdown in the economy, is this a prudent decision for Telus to take? Having recently sold BCE at a loss, and still owning T, are my concerns justified?

In the Communications Services Sector, we also have a small position in QBR.B, which is doing reasonably well so far. Its debt leverage is the lowest among its peers, which I believe to be an important metric at this time.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Q: I have been keeping a good portion of our portfolio in cash, and for the last couple of years in GICs where the interest rate near 5% was ok. But some have and others are coming up for renewal and rates are now lower, around 3.25%, Would something like PPL be a reasonable alternative to earn a somewhat better return wth still a good degree of safety? Any other suggestions? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi,
Last week it reported Q1-2025 earnings. It missed its EPS and revenue also come lower but from the share price movement this news is considered as positive as share price reached 12 month high. Can you please give your analysis on this kind of scenario? Is this considered as selling opportunity to take advantage of rally or there is some positive news under the numbers which normal investor did not see?
