Q: Hi Peter
Back on August 26, 2013 a question re. BK shares was asked and your comments showed that you had no attractiveness in this fund. Today the fund is going to change their distribution policy and increase the class A share distribution by 42%. Does this make BK more attractive now.

Q: For a 2 to 3 year time horizon, which would you say is a better investment between gluskin sheff(gs), or fiera capita(fsz), thanks?
Q: The Royal Bank has replaced GS with IFC on its 5-stock financial focus list. This might account for the drop in GS today.
Q: Gluskin Sheff has dropped 3.23% today. Is there something going on in the background. Is this a buying opportunity in your opinion? Thanks
Q: Hi Peter, Just wondering if you knew anything regarding the reason behind the 10%+ jump in EQI in the past week or so. Given where they plan to go in the next few years in terms of their growth, how do view the current valuation, and if I may ask one more, do you still think an acquisition is possible in the next 6-12 months? Thanks always!
Q: I have heard on BNN various commentators say that if interest rates rise, it is better to be in insurance companies than banks. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. thanks.
Q: Now that JPMorgan is the most shorted US stock, what do you think it's prospects are, short and long term?
Q: Hi Peter:
I have owned shares of National Bank for about 2 years, it pays a 4% nice dividend and the stock is slowly edging up near a 52 week high, knowing that Sept and Oct months are usually not kind to the stock market, I wonder if selling half of the position and re-investing it when the market corrected would be a good move ? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter
Can you give us your opinion on AHF Aston Hill Financial

Q: Good morning. I am thinking of adding to my financial holdings and have read your recent comments on BNS, TD, FSZ, SLF, GWO, and MFC all of which I hold for a 10% financial weighting. I'm thinking of adding to MFC to bring it's weighting up to SLF and GWO and total of 12% for the group. MFC is improving and 5i seems to be warming up to it. I think MFC may be getting close to rebuilding it's dividend as well.
I would appreciate your opinion on this purchase as well as the weightings overall.
Once again, many thanks for your input.

Q: Hi 5i Staff,
I've recently read an article about Canadian mortgage investment corporations in Moneysense magazine and this was the first I've heard of the them.
What is your take on them and do you have 1 or 2 that would be recommended as part of the income portion of a portfolio?

Q: Hello.
About gluskin sheff paying a special dividend of 1.4 a share.
Does that not mean that the value of the sp should be higher by that amount?Why is it actually going down?
If I buy now,do I get the special dividend,but will the sp drop by that amount after?

Q: what ranking would you give gluskin sheff (GS) for a medium/ long term investment, thanks?
Q: Would appreciate some input into GS. Increased dividend, declared special dividend and yet stock is down significantly. Is this a buy at this time? Thanks
Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I am looking to add to a small position in Fiera Capital (FSZ- T). FSZ is growing much more quickly than other comparable small cap asset managers which makes most valuation comparisons difficult. However using the valuation metric "Enterprise Value divided by Assets Under Management" FSZ compares very favourably to other managers. See below:
FSZ- 1.2%
GS - 8.9%
SII- 4.7%
GCG.A- 2.4%
AHF- 2.1%
Excluding the recent deal that FSZ just announced the above list shows Fiera as undervalued compared to other small cap asset managers. My question: Is this valuation metric and line of thinking valid ??? I would appreciate your opinion.
Thank you. DL
