Q: Hi Peter, I am considering buying the closed-end fund First Asset Pipes & Power Income Fund (EWP.UN), mainly for income and diversification. The income seems very stable and the fund seems relatively concentrated. The MER looks fairly cheap at 0.75 per cent. But I am not very familiar with this type of product. NAV does not seem to be far from trading value. I would your view on this type of product generally and on this fund in particular. Thanks.

Q: Hi,
What do you think about FTN? It has grown nicely over the months due to the strength of the financial sector and coupled with capital gains is also paying a hefty dividend. Their dividend I think you mentioned is considered return of capital. What are the risks of investing in this product considering the finance sector continues its upward trend

Q: Could you give me your opinion on the BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (BQY-US). It is a closed-end fund selling at about 10% discount to its value. It has a nice yield,7.4%, but the fact sheet on this fund gives rather limited information; e.g.,no MER is listed. It seems small but would it be alright for income?

Q: Good morning team, I would be interested to hear your opinion on FAP.

Q: Good morning all.
I just heard of this quite new(mid 2011)fund TLF.UN and am wondering what sort of option this fund would be for following the tech sector in the US via the TSX. A Brompton Fund at (http://www.bromptongroup.com/funds/fund/tlf/overview) it pays a nice distribution and has a mgmt fee of 0.75 but I expect the MER is higher. It looks like it is holding 16 positions and is fairly active writing covered calls to boost returns. Does 5i have any knowledge of, insights on or opinions about this fund and would something like QQQX or other be a better vehicle for following the US tech sector? TLF is small and probably not that liquid.
Thank you again for your wonderful service and support!

Q: Bgi.un Brookfield infrastructure.
For an investor looking for long term stability, some growth and dividend income, would this be a good stock to own.
Also, would a basket of stocks bgi.un, wte and snc lavalin make good investing sense.

Thank you, yet again, for all your help.
