Q: Good day 5i team
I would like to know why and when to change a companies sector (TSX) to one I feel is more appropriate in my portfolio. It is something that skews a balanced portfolio as stocks will move with their sectors? I am using the examples from your balanced portfolio that have different sectors listed from the TSX. Or does it matter at all as all these companies are touching on both allocations?
Thank You J

Q: Hello 5i team,
I appreciate your response to my question regarding "what to do in view of an impending recession".
Less equity and more fixed income would indeed make sense. I suppose that I could start with the holdings in the Income portfolio; but, of the balanced equity portfolio, which would you consider as "aggressive" and which would you consider as "more defensive".
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hello 5i team, My wife and I, retirees, hold a fairly conservative portfolio, including the listed stocks above in our TFSA's. Our overall asset mix is 5/45/50 cash/fixed income/equities. If (in view of the buoyant markets) we chose to increase our cash position, which 1 or 2 of the listed stocks would you suggest we sell? Thank you.

Q: Hi, There are a number of stocks in the 5i balanced portfolio that I don't have yet. If I were to buy only three from the following list, which three would you pick for its growth and its value? My portfolio is well diversified so the sector allocation isn't a big concern:

GC, AIF, BYD.UN, CAE, CLS, PKI, SYZ, or GSY, PHO, ECN,

thanks
