Q: Canoe Financial commented about a new product

"We believe, that coupled with our award-winning fixed income teams, it creates a balanced solution that will reward investors regardless of market conditions," concluded Hulston."
Is it really possible for the product they are referring to

"Apr 13, 2020
Canoe Financial Launches New Defensive Global Balanced Solution With Enhanced Risk Management"

to reward investors regardless of market conditions?

Q: ONEX has been a $100 stock within the last 5 years; what will it take to get it back in that neighbourhood?
Interesting that they're deploying capital now with the acquisition of ICS but I think it's fairly small in their portfolio, maybe Westjet sized under 5%?
Also is there a succession plan for Gerry Schwartz? Nigel Wright seems to be still very much in the picture.

Q: I own Truist Financial (formerly BBT) and ever since it merged with Sun Trust it seems to have struggled. Now, with Covid-19, it is taking an inordinate beating. I'm wondering if taking on Sun Trust has been bad timing now because of the virus crisis. I also own BAC and they have a similar looking Balance sheet only with much bigger numbers. Can you have a look at their fundamentals to ascertain if they are healthy enough to survive this pandemic and be able to get to the other side or should I be cutting it loose.
Thanks, Carl

Q: My question is regarding POW. It seems to have been hit harder than a lot of others in the financial sector. I figure IGM's low growth is likely a drag on the stock, and low interest rates aren't exactly helping GWO.

Would you be concerned about POW's lofty yield and whether or not the current dividend can be sustained in this environment?

Do you have any issue in bringing my portfolio weighting up to 5% in this stock at today's price?

Q: Hi. I see in many responses related to Canadian banks that when you reply that you prefer bank a, b, c over bank X, is the a, b, c in order of preference? Sometimes the order changes from different responses.
Would you be able to list the Canadian banks in order of preference for a 5-10 year hold. I understand that in 6 or 12 months the order may change, but I'm looking today what it would be. Thanks
