Investment Q&A

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

Q: Many companies have become addicted to low interest rates over the last decade. Assuming that interest rates stay where they are for years to come (a rate once considered somewhat "normal"), do you see any problem with any of these blue chip stocks maintaining their dividend ? I'm sure over the course of the next 5 years or so some of these companies will need to renew debt at higher rates.

Q: A guest on BNN commented that BN.ca requires low interest rates to do well and didn't recommend holding the stock.
The stock hasn't done well since the BN/ Bam spin out. What is 5i's opinion. Do you think there is further down side, or languish at the current price or price appreciation.
There was a common assumption that with the stock spin out that it would unlock value. Instead tanked. Buy sell or hold.

Thanks for your expertise.

Q: Please rank the above companies for level of risk and do you think that our Canadian banks could ever be subject to the issues at SVB? Is BN risky? I read one person writing how his advisor won't let him buy it. Feeling like I don't have much trust in anything right now. How is an investor to handle this uncertainty? I definitely see the benefits of diversity as you had always pushed. I'm also somewhat confused as most advisors have been pushing financials due to the benefits associated with rising rates. Your calm advise would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Q: I've owned shares in Brookfield companies for a very long time, not having sold a share. I'm now very overweight in my overall portfolio 15%, BN & BIP.un being the lions share with smaller positions in BAM & BEPC.
I need to reduce the size of the overall position, can you share thoughts on similar types of companies that I could buy with that type of shareholder alignment in the management team

Q: hi,
I am just off the phone with my accountant to finish off the corporate year end. we got to discussing investments, and Brookfield came up. my accountant echoed what I have heard over the years as a concern re Brookfield's business' and accounting. my accountant would not invest in Brookfield entities at this point, as they cannot fully understand the underlying business', or the accounting "complexities" (my interpretation of their more negative opinion). I still hold a reasonable amount of BAM and BEP.un, but am a bit worried about these issues. can I have your latest thoughts on this? cheers, Chris

Q: This question concerns a well diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings), focused slightly toward growth.

Looking to add to positions in ATZ, DOO, BN, BAM, GSY, KXS, TRI, PBH and T as well as initiate a partial position in WELL, all for long term holds (5+ years).

Would you rate any of these as a wait-and-see rather than a buy today? Please rate (1-10) in terms of your conviction to buy today, along with suggested target buy range [great, okay].

Thank you.
