Q: Hi, it appears self driving cars are going to be on the streets much sooner than anyone thought a short while ago. Meanwhile technological improvements have the potential to greatly reduce the frequency of accidents and eventually may eliminate them altogether, perhaps reducing the need for insurance or significantly reducing premiums or coverages? What impact might this have on major auto insurer like IFC? Thanks.

Q: I hold IFC with a decent profit (held since $63, registered acct). You seem to think it is OK but I don't see it on any of your lists of favorites. BEP.UN you rate as one of your few A's. Would you reccommend a switch?? thanks, Jim

Q: Hello 5i Team, I would like to reduce my financial sector holdings from the current 19% to 15% or less, mostly as a defensive move against the potential of a sector "down-draft". Currently hold POW-2.0%, IFC-3.0%, MFC-2.5%, and BNS,TD,and RY at 3.5% each. I am leaning towards eliminating POW and trimming each of the banks to get to the target (income from POW is great but also the only one I am underwater on and I'm not a huge fan of income at the expense of loss of capital), but I also know you don't feel the need to necessarily hold 3 banks so could just sell RY and call it quits. Trading fees not a consideration. Would appreciate your thoughts as always,

Regards

Q: Just joined your service and am looking to reproduce your balanced portfolio. The only insurance company I currently hold is IFC. Would you recommend switching out to a life insurance company (SLF) especially with the predicted direction of interest rates?
