Q: Hi,

RBC came out with a report last month on comparing CAR.UN/BEI.UN to renting a condo. Citing you would have done better over the long term with a REIT plus you do not have the hassle of dealing with tenants, possibly not being paid rent etc. What are your opinions with such a thought process of buying a REIT instead of a rental property? Is this a fair comparison?

Q: You mentioned this before that you were investors in Ebix Inc. and have met management (and liked them) in the past.

There has been some recent positive news in the company on the verge of some major ventures/partnerships/contracts. On the latest quarterly meeting call, the CEO Robin Raina was very optimistic that significant and material wins are in the pipeline. With your experience with management in the past, can you speak about what was it about the CEO or Executive team that made you confident in their abilities (at that time)? And in general, what type of qualities do you look for management for you to feel good about investing in a company?

Q: I am looking for an addition to my US portfolio in the financial sector. I am inclined to add AIG for its valuation and positive outlook if and when interest rates come down. But also KKR looks interesting and got a rich dividend. I will appreciate your expert advise as to the best choice.
Thank you as usual for your excellent service.
