Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning,

As a newbie to wealthsimple. Just trying it out. I see they do private equity and private credit.

Is this something worth looking at as a portfolio grows for added diversification?

Do you know much about their capital partner and it's history. Looking for some quality direction here from the pros.

Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

To a question today on KKR, you had mentioned that you wouldn't be averse to adding to KKR "s position slowly.
Recently Larry Berman one of BNN Bloomberg's regular told the viewers that he has sold his equity and moved all into private equity and private credit lending. He didn't mention which private equity he bought !

BLK,BX,KKR,BN ...which is your favourite now? Anything else that catches your attention?

Many thanks.

Q: Hi I’ve held BN for some time. I feel it’s an exceptional business with little price action. Are my expectations too high? fundamental concern?

Buy/hold/sell?

If selling is an option, what would you purchase as a replacement? Thanks

Q: Hi,
Some months ago I had asked about non correlated assets and you mentioned Private Equity as an option and chose these stocks. (Also your perennial favourite BN!) I have half a position in BN and plan to add more soon.

Among the 3 (BX/KKR,BLK) which two are your favourite and why? Or you can rank order them from the best to your least favorite.
