Q: Hi 5I team.
My question is about healthcare and diversification in the space. I have been attempting to keep my position around the 16% portfolio weighting and currently hold ABBV, AMD, AMGN(4.8%), LLY(3%), PFE, MRNA, and WELL positions. Although I do not want to abandon the PFE/MRNA freight trains, I am looking at adding/shifting to what may be a longer term/higher dividend return avenue with the use of GILD(attractive entry and solid div), CRISPR(awaiting a pull back to $90 if it comes), and even MDT(under $103 if it comes)

How do you feel about this strategy and the switch out of AMGN/LLY to GILD/MDT?

Thank you

Peter

Q: Why do you like both FTS & AQN?

Does a raise in interest rates kill this sector?

Would you agree that FTS has a PE of 20 compared to a PE of 30 for AQN?

Would you also agree that a large BAM position allows you to participate in BEP without investing directly in the stock?

Thank you,
Nick

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

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
