Q: Hello 5i,

Can you rank AIA (ETF), TT, and KKR on their potential for growth over the next 5-10 years. We own 3% positions AIA for Asia exposure and KKR due to their global footprint,

Would any of the 3 above be a high conviction stock to add to a TFSA at 1/3 of a position?

Thank you
D&J

Q: In researching the Swedish company EQT, a global powerhouse in finance (listed as EQT on the Stockholm exchange ) I found that EQT.st is the largest holding in PSP, the US-listed ETF that holds alternative asset managers and private equity companies. Many of the businesses held by PSP look attractive, including for example: KKR, OWL, APO, CG and BX. Do you think PSP the ETF is an attractive buy currently over EQT.st? I much prefer EQT.st but I ask you whether you would rather hold one or more of the individual constituents of PSP? If the latter, which companies, if any, do you think have good financial prospects and are at reasonably good prices to buy now?

Q: Have you warmed up to OWL since your March 2025 comment? OWL currently rates a strong buy in the financial sites I have access to. If your views are unchanged, do you have another private equity-cum-asset manager that you favor? OWL seems to have stronger, favorable buy ratings than BX, or CG. If not OWL, would you prefer Apollo and why.

Q: I am looking for stocks that have not come back up since the tariff announcements but have the potential. A couple I am thinking about are Fiserv, Inc. (FI) and Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL). Comments and any other suggestions please.

Q: I hold a full position of KKR which share price has fallen significantly from the January high. I am unable to find the fundamental reasons for the price weakness and started to doubt my original reason to own the stock.
Please kindly advise if I should continue to hold or sell for tax loss harvesting. Thank you for your great service. Bill.

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: The above private equities companies have taken a significant dive over the last few months, disproportionally volatile coamoted to the SP500. Can you please

1. Comment on the reasons for market underperformance in this sector

2. Are any of these must owns ? (I know BN is a favourite of your’s, I own a 3% position)

3. Can you rank them in terms of preference for total return over 5 to 10 years? I am open to you including onex in the list.

4. if I wanted to increase my exposure to financial (I am underweight financials, and moreso on the US side), would you look to topping Brookfield or adding a second name?

5. How much sector exposure to this sub sector would you recommend in terms of Portolio allocation for a growth invester?

Thank you and please deduct credits as you deem necessary.

Best,
Karim.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have read your previous responses on Alternative Asset Management providers and particularly your thoughts on BN.

The above list of companies are likely to fall significantly in this down market and I was wondering at what prices would you buy and which are your favorites now.

Cheers and thank you in advance.

Q: If I were to replace my Brookfield holdings, would you be able to suggest some proxies? Thanks.

Q: What's going on with these companies? Ever since I bought all of them about a month ago, they are al tanking!!!

Thanks! Austin

Q: Good morning 5i,

Thank you for being that "rock." I own BN and KKR. Following earnings and some downward pressure would you consider adding at this time? What would be your top 2 in this sector?

Please provide your comfortable weighting for both and preferred at this time. A good value for adding would be fabulous.

I am a little underweight in this area.
Thank you so much and please deduct accordingly.

Q: Can you provide your thoughts on this weeks KKR investment in HSIC. What does this mean for HSIC and its possible future.

Q: I own APO, BX and KKR in TFSA & Cash accounts = Mistake??? Should be in RIF??? Thinking of selling all and buying BIZD in my RIF. Does this make sense? Thanks!

Q: At 71, I'm getting a little scared of the Market (Wednesday), and I'm 100% in equities mostly Tech. I'll keep the Mag 7 but want to sell the rest and move to safety in these Large Mgt. Firms. Please LMK if you agree with my strategy and can you kindly Rank them? Thanks!

Q: Private Equity seems to be taking off and I want to protect my Tech gains. I still hold the Mag 7 but getting rid of others. Do you agree with this strategy, and can you recommend others? Thanks!

Q: Good morning,

My questions this morning is partly Currency related as it applies to BN in particular and your best idea for a stock to add to the "ALTERNATIVES" portion of my overall family portfolio.

Q1. Would you kindly recommend your best two ideas for a stock to add in the "Alternatives" portion of my overall portfolio.

Q2. For my US$ Non Registered account, I was thinking of adding some BN to the existing holdings by buying BN in CDN$ and journaling the CDN$ stocks over to my US$ Non Registered account as I have done in the past.
That said and given that the CDN$ has dropped significantly of late and with perhaps more to go, would it be preferable at this time to simply purchase BN in my CDN$ account and leave the shares in the CDN$ Non Registered account with no journaling into the US$ account.

Thank you and I'll await your response.
