Q: This is a portfolio management question. I help manage my retired sister’s stock portfolio; it consists of 36 generally high-quality companies, with focus on Canadian dividend-paying stocks (as she benefits from favourable taxation of eligible dividends); the portfolio has done very well over the years (thanks to advice from 5i); the philosophy is generally "buy-and-hold" with minimal turnover. Portfolio breakdown is roughly 60% Canadian (many with U.S./international focus, e.g., TD, RBI, TRI, etc.), 30% US, 10% foreign. All 36 stock holdings are 2.0-5.0% positions (median weight, 2.7%), except Aritzia (ATZ), which due to declining share price is down to only 1.4% weight. My question is: what to do with a stock like Aritzia? the portfolio management style would be to add to this position, given that it is fallen a lot, and the expectation is that it will recover, and potentially do quite well, in the long-term. On the other hand, there is a risk of continuing bad performance, and one doesn’t want to add good money after bad (the ATZ cost base is already near the median for the 36-stock portfolio). So, from a portfolio management perspective, how would you handle such a stock that has fallen quite a bit below the 2.0-5.0% target weighting of the rest of the portfolio. (Further, it doesn’t pay a dividend, either.)
