Q: Hello,
I have been a holder of FSZ for a while now but the share price doesn't appear to get any traction. I thought after their latest quarter, they might get a lift but it looks like it is drifting back again. I like the yield but other than that it's been a disappointment.
I currently own TD and SLF which both have segments comparable to FSZ's business. Are there any compelling reasons to keep holding this company, any catalysts that you are aware of that might get this stock moving? Is this just a yield play with very little price appreciation to be expected?

Thanks for your help,
Dan

Q: GS reported earnings yesterday. If I understand the report correctly, the quarterly earnings do not appear to cover the quarterly dividend. Plus, a special dividend is being paid. Can you please discuss/ explain the report and advise whether, in your opinion, the situation is sustainable? Thank you kindly in advance for your reply. Following these results would you continue to prefer FSZ over GS?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I want to add some funds to the energy and financial sectors and I currently hold both ENB and FSZ from the model portfolios. Both have had increasing dividends for the past 5 years but both have also gone down in the past year.

I was wondering if you have any idea why FSZ has declined and if it is still ok to add to both these holdings?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi 5i - WSP is in your income portfolio and I'm wondering, as it is declining, is it a good time to buy or could you recco another few income stocks instead.
Thx - Doug

Q: Would you be comfortable with a 3% position at this time (new position) or should I wait until it settles a bit ? Also, can you please comment on the payout ratio, sustainability of the dividend and the quality of the management team. Will the current share price make it be harder for them to make new profitable acquisitions ? Thank you.

Q: I know its hard to compare these companies but do you have a preference between Banco Santander, Lloyds or Fiera Capital? Focus on value and dividend growth for a long term investor.

Q: Good morning:
I own a 3.5% position in Fiera, primarily for the dividend and non-bank financial exposure. I'm puzzled that Fiera has not declared its quarterly dividend yet. As the last dividend was declared in November, I was expecting the next one to come in February. Understanding dividends are at the discretion of the board, I wonder if there is a reason why we don't have the dividend advice, or is this is "just a Fiera thing?"
Thank you and have a fine day!
Geoff
