Q: These firms are my top four holdings. Any concerns as we move to a bit more defensive portfolio?
Historically, is their a sector that is the "canary in the mine" that would be a sign of a bear market?

Q: Hello 5i Team
Of the three major life insurance companies in Canada (GWO, SLF, MFC) which is the best company to invest for a steady growing dividend stream.
Are there other Canadian life insurance companies that I should look at?
Notwithstanding the tax advantage of Canadian Dividends, should I be looking at US life insurance companies?
Thanks in advance for the excellent service.

Q: Hello,
Our financial weighting is still quite a bit higher than you suggest for a portfolio...so my plan is to sell our (underwater) CIX as well as one or two of our (positive) bank stocks. Appreciate your ranking and thoughts regarding our bank holdings noted above. Thank you.

Q: The one-year returns of Canadian life insurance companies over the last 52 weeks have been rather unexciting, but over the last quarter they have suddenly blossomed. What has caused this revival, and can we safely invest in them for the next two to three years? Thank you. Walter

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I hold about 5% in each of these companies, with the rest in indices (XAW, VCN) and cash. Do you have any recommendations for other companies I should be looking at to diversify? Thanks for the help!
