Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: From the answers I have gleaned over those 3 insurers you seem to be favoring SLF over the other two, from a volatility & performance perspective (over 1 and 5 years) it would appear that SLF is worse. Can you give your reasons why as you obviously see SLF of better quality fundamentally going forward.

Q: I find it a little odd that these shares are down {(some nearly 30%). It is as if they forgot how to make money. Many voices lining up against them. A couple of independent analysts I use have them top picks. Is it time to start building positions?

Q: The big 6 Canadian Banks? I do not know why many investors have an aversion to the banks? Over the last 15 years the capital appreciation and dividend compounding have been second to none. I own a good portion in my varied portfolios and all have performed extremely well with the exception of BNS. I have a friend who invested 15 years ago in the banks $1.5 M - now over $8M and generate a lot of income for him. I think he owns now about 40,000 shares. I think most if not all portfolios should contain a good helping of the Canadian banks. He is my age 77 YO.

Q: I get that Bn doesn’t have same credit risk exposures as many of the private credit providers but I wonder if Bn is effected if these companies such as Apollo, can no longer participate in new projects as their outflows may be too high. I believe Bn doesn’t provide 100% funding for its large investments but comes in as one of a group of players, if other players are stepping back will Bn have to slow its rate of investment?
