Q: Greetings 5i,
I am looking to reduce my Industrials and hold each of these stocks In various accounts. I would prefer to trim an entire position rather than a portion of each. In what order would you reduce these holdings today? Tax-loss selling is not a factor.
Thank you
SP

Q: Hi Team,
For some years it seems 5i has preferred Loblaw over Metro. I believe this has to do with L being bigger (by about 50%) and more diversified with its Shoppers and financial services operations and Optimum loyalty program vs. MRU with only the Jean Coutu operation and no financial services. MRU is more concentrated geographically (~70% in Quebec).
Debt levels are lower for MRU than L.
Yet for almost any timeframe one selects, MRU has outperformed L on a total return basis.
I'm sure I'm missing something here but why the preference for L and is that still the case?
Thank you, Michael

Q: When 5i sends an update report suggesting an increase or decrease in a specific holding, like increase by 1%, is that reflected in the portfolio report right away?

So, if I download the report today, the percentages for each stock already includes the change.

Thanks for your response.

Q: Hello, Thanks to some of your recommendations my portfolio is a bit out of whack (too much tech). This is good problem to have. I'm light on the following sectors and was wondering if you could give me your top recommendations for each. Maybe 3 CND companies. I would have a 10+ year time frame and don't mind a bit of risk. I only need about a 1/2 position in each sector.

Utilities -
Consumer Staples -
Energy -
Communications -

Thanks in advance.
