Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have roughly 5% exposure to infrastructure, exclusively through WSP. I am comfortable with my position (my entry point is quite favourable), and do not wish to trim it. I have been making a concerted effort to consolidate the number of positions in my portfolio (aiming for roughly 30-40 in total) as I feel it makes it easier to make decisions on what to include, as well as when to enter and exit a position. My question is whether I should increase my exposure to this sector, either through STN or SNC, or if I should focus on improving exposure to other sectors. If I were to increase my exposure to infrastructure, I would only pick one position. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I am trying to mirror the Model balance equity portfolio. I have other positions(ATD.B,CCL.B,CXI,ESL,HCG,KXS,MG,PBH,SIS,SJ,SLF,WSP) as is from model portfolio, but a few positions I am holding in my portfolio which I am considering equivalent as below:

For AEM- ABX, BNS-CXR, CGX-BEP.Un, CSU-ESL(8% ),ENB-PPL, MDA-DH, PKI-IPL, SYZ-AVO, T-CJR.B

Do you see any issue with it. Are these switch equivalent. My portfolio is fairly diversified, almost in line with model balanced equity portfolio, except I have energy (including IPL&PPL) at 16%.

Thanks,

Kuldip
