Q: Good Afternoon.

I am more than confused about this fund. Could you shed any light on why it would trade so much lower than its NAV? Based on earlier comments by you, I have a better understanding why it would be recommended by an IA but am pleased to hear that you like the managers. Could you also let me know if the fund is redeemable once a year or once a month? It looks like I may be holding it for the long term now and should enjoy the dividend, which hopefully continues.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

What do you know about this security? It is listed in Tsx but in US dollars! My discount broker told me I can buy the shares on line but I can't sell them myself. I have to go through the broker because of the U.S. pricing. Will it be a good diversification in a portfolio and what is the growth prospect? Thanks as always. Rossana.

Q: I don't understand how a (quite liquid) Closed-End Fund can have a share price that has a significant discount to NAV over an extended period. If I were to buy a fund such as EEF.US (European Equity CEF), could I expect that the current 10% discount to NAV will eventually tend to zero (or at least be significantly reduced)?

Thanks!

Q: Please give me your opinion on ocs.un. I bought some at 10.00 and some at $ 9.65. As you well know it pays .175 cents a quarter. When they called suckers for this closed end IPO, I answered the call. and now it is $ 7.43. Basically, they tax the payout as a capital gain so I have paid to get my capital back. Any chance of appreciation in the future?, or dump it. When I phoned to talk to them about the fund everything is top secret thanks to MR SCHWARTZ. THANKS

Q: Do you have an opinion on the "structured notes" issued by Canadian Banks ? For example, RBC Principal Protected Global Large Cap Growth Note. It seems that the principal of the notes is protected, but the principal will not be paid back for 6.5 years. Interest return is variable, depending on the underlying securities, but should be higher than standard rates (some say up to 9%). Surely such returns could not be guaranteed ? Can the notes be re-sold prior to term ?
