Investment Q&A

Q: Would you endorse a switch from DHR to ISRG (taxes not an issue)? I know you really like ISRG. I suspect I would be taking on more volatility and DHR has been a decent grower but would ISRG likely be that much stronger growth wise?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Asked by Esther on May 27, 2024
5i Research Answer:
Here are some of the high-quality US names with moderate risks and reasonable valuations that we think investors could do well by owning a basket of these names over the long term. Although these may not the the best winners, we think these could be considered as compounders such as BKNG, ULTA, AXON, ABNB, UBER, ADBE, FI, ODFL, HEI, AZO, ORLY, ARES.

Would your answer be the same today. If not, what would be your list today? Thanks
