Q: Greetings Team 5i,
With it looking like an increase in interest rates coming soon, and understanding that insurance companies appreciate higher interest rates, I would like to add to my holdings in that sector. I realize you like Sun Life SLF and I'm thinking of taking a position but I'm also interested in Fairfax Financial FFH. I would appreciate your opinion of FFH and the wisdom of taking a position in it at this time.
As always, thanks for your guidance.

Q: I'm looking to initiate a position with market leverage. Would you choose between GMP and AHF? Thanks!
Q: Kudos Peter and Team !
Besides SLF, could you give some ideas for companies that will benefit in a rising rate environment. Does this include the Banks ?
Thank you.

Q: Looking at dc.a , is it a good buy at this price
Q: Hello 5i team,
Financials represent only 8.2% of my RRIF portfolio; they comprise BNS, EFN, HCG and TD. To gain some exposure to lifecos, I think of adding SLF.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: are you still recommending element financial, EFN? does it have a dividend?
Q: Hello and thanks for all of the great responses and reports.
I bought MG in the $35 range and have enjoyed the run up but think it is pretty much fully valued. I have trimmed some earlier this year and would like to move out of it into a lifeco which most folks seem to think have more room to run. Which big boy do you think has better upside SLF or MFC?
Thanks
Jerry

Q: Do you think owning insurance equities is a good "portfolio hedge" against rising interest rates?
I know you like Sun Life (SLF) but I am wondering if it is also the best choice relative to other Canadian insurers in terms of it's potential upside due strictly to an orderly rise in rates?

Q: Hi 5i,
I hold both SLF and IFC in my retirement account. Are they different enough that I can hold both or should I get rid of one? Do you still like IFC for growth and dividend growth? I also hold several other financials: banks and REITs so I would remain diversified. Thanks!

Hello Peter....
Best withes on the ride!
I have owned a 1.4% position in Great-west Life [GWO] and a 1.7% position in Sun life [SLF] since December 2013. SLF is up 11% and GWO down 1% since I bought them. These are held primarily for income. I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should just do nothing and collect the dividends which are about the same for both companies [SLF 3.5% and GWO 3.8%] or whether I should sell the GWO with essentially no loss or gain and put the money into SLF, in the expectation of a little more growth. Is it worth the diversification to own both?
Many thanks...... Paul K

Q: Your out look for MFC compared to SLF taking into consideration MFC latest acquisition. Thanks.
Q: Good Day. Please provide your views regarding MLF 's acquisition of the Canadian operations of Standard Life with particular emphasis relative to synergies, disclosed financing plan, future dividend policy and impact on growth and outlook for MLF? CEO says Three cents/year for next three years. At 12x EPS, it seems like its possible impact on the stock price could be negligible. Thanks.
Q: What are your views on Bank of New York Mellon (BK) in comparison to Canadian Banks?
Q: MFC is a cheaper stock and lower P/E than SLF, so why would you prefer SLF
Q: I am looking to buy some US bank stock and am looking at both JPM and BAC. Both have gone through difficult times and look like they have some upside. Do you agree with that? if so, is there one of these you prefer or another US$ bank you would alternatively recommend.
Thanks for all your advice.
