Q: Greetings 5i,

I own both of these and have done well. I consider them long term holds. Bruce Flat has stated last quarter he sees 20% growth per year over several years. Apollo has merged with Athene (insurance /annuities etc). My question is, in an inflationary and subsequent rising interest rate environment, will these two companies face significant headwinds? Have we seen the “top” in the asset management class short to medium term? Please explain why or why not. Deduct as needed.

Cheers!

Q: Hi 5i team. Love what you guys offer here as I am a recent trial member who pulled the trigger and signed up. I currently hold ATZ, BAM.A FLOW GSY PRN SLF TOI VFV and WSP in a TFSA. I am looking at rounding out my portfolio to include one of: IIP.un, DIR.un, CAR.un for long term hold with focus on growth and ok with some volatility. So out of those 3 what would you suggest is the best one to choose? Also, any other suggestions you would consider adding to my portfolio for increased diversification based on my overall strategy? Thanks

Q: I find myself on the fence with Savaria. I have held it a long time and consequently have had it grow from a partial position initially to full position without adding to it. With interest rates due to rise I assume it will cost SIS more to service their debt (eventually at least), and if inflation continues to run I would prefer owning a company that has demonstrated an ability to increase their dividend. In your last report, under “Valuation” you state “… we expect SIS to maintain its record of annual dividend increases”, but I note in the Report Card of that same report it gives 5 Yr Dividend Growth a C rating and what looks like a -25%? Can you please comment?
Thanks,

Q: Hello

I have about $25K in cash to invest with a 15 year time horizon. I own many of your balanced and income portfolio CO’s already, I probably own too many with 25-30 in my portfolio that’s high 6 figures. I don’t own these 2 - GSY or SHOP.

Would you recommended added these two new positions to my portfolio, or just increase positions with my current names - WSP, TFII, BAM.a, the banks, etc.


Thanks,

Q: I notice BHVN made a deal with PFE recently. Their stock has dropped since and was wondering if you could shed some light on why, I would have thought it would have been positive for them.
Generally what are your thoughts on BHVN as an investment?
Thanks John

Q: Hello,
I have Flutter Entertainment shares OTC due to the all share deal from owning TSGI years ago. My question is should I sell these shares now and rebuy them with US dollars on a US exchange, that way if I make a large profit in the future it is less of an exchange fee? Or is there another company in the consumer sector you would recommend altogether?
Thank you,

Tori

Q: Magna is currently dropping significantly and I understand they have 6 manufacturing/assembly factories in Russia along with 2500 employees. What do you foresee the impact this year and longer term.

I'm sure inflation and the semi-conductor shortage are also having an impact on stock price, yet I expect to a lesser extent.

Do you see this as a buy and what would be a good target price?

Thanks!
