Q: One of the many great skills I've picked up as a member here is tax-loss harvesting. Recently, I saw a question that piqued my interest in the notion of "harvesting" outstanding capital gains to apply capital losses against in a pro-active manner.

To date, I've simply been carrying by my capital losses forward happy in the fact that when I do need to realize a capital gain, they will be there to help me out. Now I'm wondering if there may be value in getting a little crafty with selling stocks that are up and re-purchasing in 30 days to "tax harvest"? Without putting too much thought into it, the only advantage I can see in doing this would be dodging capital gain inclusion rate increases that may arise moving forward. Are there other reasons this may be a profitable tactic?


Thank you!

Q: Good morning,
Pondering investing in REAL with a few questions please.
How does 5i feel about their current competitive position and ability to land new Tier 1/2 lenders and increase market share?

How does 5i assess REAL's runway for strengthening competitive position? Regarding this, Pg. 34 of REAL's Nov 2020 Investor Day presentation says "Investment in technology in F2021-23 expected to yield 20% reduction in cost to serve by 2025".
Two questions here please.
Is 5i aware of REAL making technology enhancements in 2021 consistent with this statement, and if so what was the key one?
Two, is REAL's current focus on buying back shares in F2021 consistent with them still having the cash to make technology investments?
Thank you. Edward
