Investment Q&A

Q: Thoughts on their quarter and long term outlook?

Q: Hi, I have 7% BN and 1% KKR, BX & ISRG each. With ISRG/BX first quarter results out , i am thinking of bumping up from 1% to half position. Your suggestions please. Thanks S

Q: Do you see any compelling investments in these asset managers that have experienced large drawdowns? Currently, I am only holding BN at a 5.3% core holding, big fan of their investment strategy, allocation, themes and Bruce Flatt. Out of the other names listed, they all have strong returns over the long term. Would you be a buyer of any of these currently or should I just stick with BN over the long term? How would you rank them now? What is the max allocation to BN one should have for the long term? I know you are very comfortable with this name. Thanks!

Q: I know you still like BN even as a top pick for TFSA but since all the other private credit names are suffering this one seems to be lagging. I know you feel it is not the same, but it seems like others see it as similar to Apollo, Blackstone, or KKR and are lumping it with that group. Can you please explain how we need to view this company differently and how to remain patient?

Q: Hello,

These seem like extremely attractive buys at these prices given the negative sentiment.

Thoughts?

Q: Hi, Sorry there are lot of companies listed but in summary this is three part question:

1. I have BAM2%,BN9%,BEP5%. I was thinking of putting new money to KKR or BX or APO. Should i add new money to existing positions or to new positions. Which one and approx. price please.

2. All the listed are in red in various taxable and registered accounts. Which one is good candidate for new money , which one would be sell and hold.

3. ISRG is at 1.5%. Should i go to 5% in one shot or go slowly or just hold on . This is in taxable account.

Thanks

Q: Are these two companies mostly identical in business model?? Are there differences and if so, can you identify those differences - thanks

Q: Our new portfolio manager is recommending the KKR Infrastructure Fund (“KIF”) as an alternative investment. Can you please tell me more about this private equity fund and the KKR investment company? I am a 70 year-old value investor and can't find any metrics for the fund. Do you know how the price is set for KIF? I am concerned that KKR could close the gate for redemptions at anytime.
Thanks for for comments!

Q: I bought APO @ $184 & KKR @ $151 in my RIF account. Should I sell, or hold?? Thanks for your Outstanding service!

Q: I currently only own TD, X and EQB in my RRSP. I would like to sell EQB and thinking of buying BN. Is this a good replacement stock or is there a better financial stock you like at this time. Money not needed for 20 years.

Thanks

Q: Are you able to provide comparable alternatives in the US. Your top 3, ranked for long term return . (10 year hold)

Q: What would be your general guidelines in investing in private equity and private credit. And/or, if the question exceeds the scope of this plateform or expertise please refer to sites or books that could be of interest.

Thank you for your excellent expertise

Q: Thoughts on this stock for the next 2 years?

Thnx 5I

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.

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.
