Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I noticed that Trisura has a potential run up in the bid / ask (~$6) compared to last night's closing price ($38.02 - 38.50 range). Over the past 4 - 5 months there has been insider buying yet, I cannot find news short of calling them directly. They seem to be immune from work stoppages unless a contractor goes bankrupt. In the Corporate Insurance, segment, there could be a slowdown in top-line growth though they have a good renewal business. Their policies do not cover business interruptions from the pandemic. Also, given that they are a wholly owned sub of Brookfield Asset Mgmnt., I have a good comfort level and am considering moving to a full position. May I have your thoughts?
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team
Of the three major life insurance companies in Canada (GWO, SLF, MFC) which is the best company to invest for a steady growing dividend stream.
Are there other Canadian life insurance companies that I should look at?
Notwithstanding the tax advantage of Canadian Dividends, should I be looking at US life insurance companies?
Thanks in advance for the excellent service.

Q: Hello - I have been following TSU with interest since it's IPO in late June. It's had a nice run over the past 4 months. I'd like to know what your take is on: (1) the recent announcement that the company is hoping to have a 1 for 10 share consolidation followed by a 10 to 1 share split, and (2) whether you think it has potential as a good growth stock. Thanks

Q: I have acquired shares in several new companies over time, as a result of spin-offs. Sometimes these are terrific, such as BIP.UN. I'd like to either add to some of these 'stub' positions or sell them to keep my number of stocks manageable. Can you please divide these four companies between (in your opinion) 'worth keeping and adding to', or 'sell to redeploy the proceeds elsewhere'. The four are Trisura (TSU), Brookfield Business Partners (BBU.UN), Express Scripts (ESRX) and Brighthouse (BHF), recently spun off from MetLife. Thank you!

Q: Always a nice surprise from Brookfield, to find a new stock dividended-out into your portfolio. I see that it's a global (re)insurance company, or looking for global opportunities at least. When BAM dividends out small quantities, prices to tend to drop as they get sold out of portfolios. Assuming that happens in this case, is this a reasonable opportunity to purchase more, to build it into a small position? Is there a projected dividend pay-out that you can see?
Thanks very much...
