Q: Canadian BT global growth fund is up 11% this year, rose 15% last year, and has beaten the S&P/TSX Composite on an annualized basis since inception in 2006.
What are your thoughts on this fund? How has it performed so well?
E.g. Versus the 5i managed portfolios down by 10+% last year, how did it manage to rise +15% last year?

Q: Hi 5i Team - My holding in TSGI is a little bit high so I am considering selling a partial position and moving it into another gaming stock in order to diversify in this space. First of all is it worth holding on to at least some (maybe half) of my TSGI and secondly could you provide your top picks in the gaming area with a brief explanation for each. Thank you.

Q: I understand rate reset preferreds have dropped in market price due to the expectations of possible lower interest payouts when they reset; but can you explain to me why Prefs with a minimum reset are so affected? BIP Preferred Series 9 pay a nominal 5% and have a minimum reset of 5% (though the reset could possibly be higher if rates rise) yet the market value has dropped from $25 to just over $21. If purchased today the buyer can collect dividends equating to 5.9% and still enjoy at least this rate after they reset, or collect $25 per unit if they are called. So why are they down so much? Am I missing something?
