Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This is more a comment. This company has spend a significant (over $20 million) on R and D, in particular automation, over the last three years and the benefits are clear to see. The cfo told me that the new technology has performed beyond expectation and it is equivalent to employing 100 welders.
The dual share structure, while often maligned, does have its benefits. It means management has a huge incentive to get things right.

Q: 3 short questions:
(1)XSU:CA is the TSX listed hedged version of IWM:US. Is there an unhedged version of IWM:US on the TSX?
(2) Is there a listing on the TSX for IWN:US; either hedged or unhedged?
(3) XSMC:CA (100% IJR:US) has net assets of only $35M compared to net assets of $544M for XSU:CA (100% IWM). Can I conclude from this that IWM is the more popular US small cap ETF in Canada? 5i research has suggest the IJR holds larger, possibly more stable US small caps compared to IWM.
Thanks!

Q: Regarding Frank's question on Pinetree Capital
It is seemingly up because they hold shares in Bravura Solutions traded on the ASX and main reason is they reported nice results a few days ago.

Some connections to Constellation Software here as of course Mark Leonard's son Damien runs this company (Pinetree) as I am sure you know and they seem to align with Constellations investments a few times (holding Sygnity and Topicus) and a Volaris Group Vice President (Shezad Okhai) joined Pinetree in 2021and then left for Bravura Solutions in 2023... they look undervalued when you review all their investments and report soon.
