Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,

Could you please give your opinion on Antero Resources?
Natural gas prices have been stronger than expected yet Antero missed earning estimates by a wide margin. Is it because of hedging or other factors? It is one of the largest producers and could benefit from the natural gas price in the near term.
Where do you see the stock going forward?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have been trying to manage close to the BE Portfolio since the start of 5i and I want to continue.

I have some weightings I could top up now and I want to check if we should be adding to these today given recent run ups or if there are other names in the BE portfolio you would suggest as better adds today?

The names I was looking at first were PBH, TFII, KXS, and SIS but would like to hear if there's other names in the BE Portfolio we should be more excited about for new money today?
