Investment Q&A

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

Q: All things being equal, would you consider purchasing AW.UN shares below the secondary offering price an attractive proposition?

What metrics would you use to value AW.UN's share price (and would you mind posting those valuations).

Lastly, the institutions that are facilitating this secondary offering, will they be selling these AW.UN shares to their clients?

Thanks again.

John

Q: Hi Peter & 5i:
Would you be able to explain what the secondary bought deal offering means when the announcement says:
"The Fund will not receive any proceeds from the Offering. Food Services will distribute the net proceeds of the Offering to its long standing shareholders."
Food Services are selling their shares and then going to issue a "special one-time distribution" from the proceeds?
Thanks so much.

Q: Hi,

I am looking for recommendation for a high yield position with some growth potential (yield a higher priority than growth) to replace QSR that I sold this morning. The new position will represent 4% of the overall portfolio and will be held in a taxable account. This account currently holds: ZDV, SLF, ENG, BRE, WEF. I am looking for a long term hold and ok with some risk, though WEF and BRE are on the riskier end of the scale.

Thanks,
Mike

Q: In respect to Paul's question, non-eligible dividends are not taxed the same as interest income. As an example, for 2019 the top Ontario tax rate on interest income is 53.53% whereas the top Ontario tax rate on non-eligible dividends is 47.40%. By comparison the top Ontario tax rate on eligible dividends is 39.34%. I'm not aware of why A&W pays out eligible versus non-eligible dividends. TaxTips.ca has a good site for those that want to review tax rates on dividends, interest, etc. at different levels of personal income.

I am increasingly concerned about the financial stability and credit quality of several of my investments.
Could you please provide the S&P or DBRS issuer rating or bond rating of : ENB, TRP, PKI, BCE, CSW.A, AW.UN, SIA.
This information is very difficult for me to find and is often quite dated. Could you suggest a source I could use.
Thank you........... Paul K

Q: As a holder of aw I am consernd about your comments that the beef used is antibiotic free .
The use of growth hormones in the beef industry is all but redundant due to the advancement on genitics.there for a easy thing to say and advertise.
Antibiotic free beef is something that is impossible on a commercial scale and AW on there website verified this .
In 5:i assessment of aw claimed it sells only antibiotic free meat not so
Kind regards
Stan
