Q: Hello 5i,
I’ve been viewing that US may at some point use stable coins to eliminate the debt. Is this possible? Could digital currency become the new gold? Please suggest some trusted sources where I could learn more about this, implications of wide spread adoption on the economy and the impact on physical gold. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team

Artis REIT (AX.UN) announced on September 15, plans to merge with RFA Capital to form RFA Financial.

Other than the initial press release and investor presentation, no additional information has been posted on SEDAR+.

The units have dropped from ~ $7.40 to ~ $6.80.

Closing date for the merger was stated as Q1 2026

Questions

1 - When would Artis post the "Arrangement Agreement" on SEDAR+ outlining the full details of the merger?

2 - What are your current thoughts on the merger?

3 - In these types of transactions is it better to sell now, if you don't like the transaction or wait until further details are known.

Thank you for all the services 5i provides.

Q: FYI. I was listening to the chief economist at RBC the other day and she said the CUSMA renegotiations are to determine what the trade agreement will be starting in 2036 , 10 years from now. This means the current agreement terms would remain for a significant period of time ( unless Trump totally throws the whole thing out ). Can you confirm this ?

This important point doesn’t seem to get recognized by the media. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Do any of the utilities held in these ETF’s offer the same kind of energy power support for the mega computers running AI applications as something like VRT in the US?

If not are there any Canadian companies that do so and would be an attractive investment in this area?
