Q: Hello Peter, Ryan & 5i Team

I'm looking to bulk up my US exposure, specifically US$ income rather than growth names. Would you favour ETFs or a small set of individual companies for this purpose (any suggestions of either? Thank you)

As always, thank you for your insights and wisdom.

Q: I patiently hold AVO (at an approx 20% loss) and see that it is still maintained within the growth portfolio. You've mentioned previously that it is a frustrating name. What would it take to lose your interest? Is there any sign(s) that it will begin to behave better or should I be prepared for a long, patient wait with this name? I like the space that it is in and can't see why it doesn't perform better.

As always, I appreciate you insight.

Q: My energy holdings are comprised of two names, SGY (fallen from half to quarter position) and BP (Plc) (maintaining its half position). SGY should survive but hasn't really participated in any meaningful upswing. Is there any fundamental reason for its lacklustre performance compared to peers in this sector? Would it be worth maintaining this position (I've held on throughout all dividend cuts) or abandoning it for some other company in this sector?

Thanks

Q: What do you think of this company which is a supplier of powertrain systems to most car companies. It seems to be a very stable company with a decent moat.

The only 2 things I can see is the vehicle market is slowing and their dept more than doubled over the past year (I think they issued notes recently).

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: I know it is way to small for you guys, but is it possible to get an opinion about future potential for EUO Eurocontrol.
One of the largest players in that sector SICPA now owns 12.4%. They are doing a share buy back up to 10% of the companies estimated public float , and insiders have decent positions

Thanks,
David
