Q: Greetings 5i team,
I noticed a question today asked by Tim concerning GSY and what a target price to enter a position would be. I added some shares today at about $179, which was above your suggested entry price of $170 but this purchase only raised my average cost / share to a little more than $160. In addition to the entry price, do you think that this is a good way to view such a purchase as well?
Thank you
SP

Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts on Amer Sports? They own the very successful Arcteryx clothing line as well as many other sports related businesses. At about $35, was $42 not long ago. Chip Wilson recently sold $160 million but still has 18% through his holding company. He appears to be raising cash (any idea for what?). The stock has tripled since IPO about 2 years ago. Your thoughts? How would it compare to another of your great calls, Aritzia?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Can you provide thoughts on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Value Factor ETF (EVLU) as a long term investment in the current high valuation environment?
I’m seeing a 3% 30day yield, 10.7 P/E, and 0.35 fee.
If in your response you say it’s too new (less than a year) or too small (10m AUM), please remind me why those things matter and how you’d weigh them for an investment that is otherwise attractive.

Q: Citing elevated redemption requests and tighter cash flows, some asset managers are joining a growing list of firms who are warning investors about changes to their real estate funds, which range from limited redemptions to reduced monthly distributions.

For example Trez Capital Mortgage Investment Corp, Nicola Wealth Management Ltd. and Centurion Asset Management Inc. informed investors about such changes. I own CAR.UN, KMP.UN and GRT.UN. Can I please get your thoughts for these three.
