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.

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.
Francesco

Q: I'm in BN and BX, would adding KKR be duplicative or additive ? It's hard to tell sometimes what these companies have for assets.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks

Q: Please rank BN, KKR, BX and APO, in order of preference and what would be a good entry point.

Q: Hello 5i
My patience is running low on CELH LULU ADBE. I'm considering switch to KKR APP SFM. I'm looking for growth with a fairly high risk tolerance.
Could I have your opinion on the growth prospects on all six of these and which would be your favourites please?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hi Guys,

I have a half position with KKR:US, would feel comfortable with a full position after their most recent quarter?

thanks

Q: I own both KKR and BN. KKR stock price is appreciating significantly more than BN and all other stocks in the private equity realm, that I am aware of. Can a case be made to concentrate on KKR if one is not concerned about including BN to have Canadian exposure? Further, do you see any other financial stock with more pure growth potential relative to KKR?

Q: My focus is on financial alternative investments. We have positions in BN KKR IBKR [thanks], and are considering adding stocks from indexes/ratings [MSCI/SPGI], other exchanges, asset managers. Please list and rank your highest conviction names. What percentages would you allocate to each [including BN IBKR and KKR]. And, lastly, which ones would you advise, if any, for a full position now.

Q: I would like to invest in private equity and credit stocks. I came across below US and CDN stocks. Which one would you recommend that I should buy or unless you have better options. Plus is there an ETF that you would recommend.

Please give brief description and why you consider as Buy.

CDN: BN, ONEX
USA: KKR, BX, ARES, APO



Please deduct credit as appropriate.

Thanks for the great service.

Thank you.
