Q: I'm interested in Hammond and would like your input. They both seem very inexpensive but HPS has a larger dividend (and a higher P/E).
Do you like either right now? Prefer one over the other?

Q: Why are renewable stocks (such as BEPC, AQN, INE, BLX, etc.) so weak of late? Thanks. With all governments promoting renewable energy these stocks should be doing much better.

Q: Hello 5i Team
Using Nine Point Energy Fund as an example, when the company has three versions of a mutual fund (Series A, Series F and an ETF) how are the portfolios structured? Are the funds structured as three separate accounts (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the same security in three separate accounts) or are the funds held in one common account (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the a security in one account) and the returns/expenses calculated as proportional amounts?
Does either method have an impact on fees or the liquidity (using the example where the EFT version is smaller in value than the Series A or Series F) of the funds?
Thank you
