Q: I know 5i favours SLF over MFC. MFC is cheaper, but I was surprised to see on Morningstar that it isn't by a whole lot.

I am a long term investor. I am looking at MFC from a 10, 20 year perspective. l did own it back when they cut the dividend, but am now considering adding it back in.

Is the company much improved from 10 years ago? Cash Flow metrics seem to be good. I was unable to find debt ratio though, and whether or not it was at an acceptable level.

How do you see MFC going forward, despite the present events in China?

Q: Thank you for your very appreciated service.

My question is, how can an investment in financial services like SLF be bullish when bond rates go up. My understanding is that the value of the bonds held will decline in such a scenario so SLF's balance sheet will be negatively impacted as well. Enlighten me, how does SLF benefit from a rising interest rate environment?

Q: HI 5i, What are your thoughts regarding this company? A couple of months ago this company sold 2billion dollars of shares to another company. With the funds they were going to pay out a special dividend of $7.50 per share to shareholders. I would like to know when I will receive this dividend?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Bob
