Q: Sorry, it was Blackstone (BX-NYSE) that I meant to ask about. Biox also sounds interesting but a very different sort of investment.

Q: Hello, I am thinking about buying an life insurance company as a hedge against rising interest rates. I would switch funds that I currently have in Riocan REIT. Do you think that this is a good idea and if so which of the companies would you recommend ie Manulife, Sunlife, or Great West Life. or any other insurance company you like. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I own E-L Financial Corp's preferred shares ELF.PR.F, which I bought 4 years ago yielding 5.5% at the time. The shares are now lower and yield almost 6%, so I'm thinking of adding more to my portfolio (currently a 1% weighting). Other than interest rate risk, is there anything about this particular issue that would not make it a good candidate for long-term income? Many thanks in advance,
Brian
