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: 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: Hi group ...Can you explain the difference between private equity and private credit. Also how to patriciate in this sector and what is your top 3 picks to start positions?...Thanks for your help

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on KKR. Your overall thoughts on the company and do you see more upside and your take on the recently announced earnings. Thank You.

Q: Hello,

Can you please compare each of these companies using the valuation metric you believe to be the most appropriate given their business models?

Thank you

Q: Using total return over the medium term (3-5 yrs) as your goal what would be your top 3 picks in the Publicly Traded Private Equity sector excluding BN and BX?
Secondly, where would BN and BX rank among your picks?
Thirdly, what %age of a portfolio would you allocate to this sector?
Thank you, Hugh

Q: I bought BX pre-pandemic and held on , thinking that its significant investments in real estate would bottom and share price would again climb. That didn’t happen. I have been trimming my holding in BX but still hold a half-position. I stopped reducing, now again thinking that perhaps long-duration assets owned by BX would become more valuable. Do you think this is true? Or, do you think an investor is much better off to deploy cash into KKR or some other private equity? (US companies only).

Kindly give your insightful reasons, skipping the obvious please.
Thank you! :ao:
