Q: Good Day All,

You recently answered a question on this company from another subscriber, and mentioned something about the cannabis sector. The way the answer was structured leaves me wondering about this remark as I don't believe CRRX operates in that sector; rather it provides drugs to seniors. Is the review of the fundamentals correct for the company, or are your comments based upon a different company in the cannabis sector? Could you clarify?

Q: Hello,

For my pension with my employer, we have limited options with respect to investments. I intend to allocate a portion of my assets to ''Manulife Canadian Real Estate Fund'' (code 9575 / MCREA). Assets of $1.2B Return 1year 17% 2 year 20% 3 year 13%. I have a few questions:

- Can you find the breakdown for the asset allocation: multiresidential, office, industrial, etc. and does it include real estate development? (the information I find and that I was provided is very limited)

- On a scale 1 to 10, how risky is this investment for a 15 year time horizon?

- Can it be considered fixed income in a portfolio?

- How big of a position would you recommend vs total investment assets / portfolio? (% range would be appreciated).

-Returns seem high for the last few years. Can you please provide some comments / insigths?

My level of risk is typically average and I have a long term horizon. I just want to make sure I properly estimate the overall risk of the fund.

Thank you for your help.

Q: Dear 5i
From my readings it appears that LLY,ABBV and UNH would be your favourite healthcare stocks and in that order . Would you agree ?
Between my wife and i we have 3 RRSP accounts . Would you recommend putting the number one healthcare pick LLY in all three accounts or maybe LLY in one account , ABBV in another account and UNH in the third account ?
The same applies to DOL and ATD which seem to be your favourite consumer staples stocks . Earnings forecasts look better for DOL but ATD is liked a lot as well though ATDs earnings forecast isn`t as good as DOL .Do i put DOL in all three accounts or and DOL in one account and ATD in another and a combination of both in the third account ?
Please deduct credits accordingly .
Thanks

Q: I have received from my financial institution a notice concerning the following coming regulation: "New IRS regulation 1446(f) is being enacted beginning January 1, 2023 that affect all Publicly Traded Partnership (“PTP”) holdings (including various Canadian and foreign issuers such as Brookfield LP)." Are you familiar with this regulation? Do you have any thoughts on how one should respond if one holds Brookfield LP units?

Very much appreciate the work you do and the information you provide.
