Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i Team
What are your thoughts on Stack Capital valuation?

Thanks
Brent

Q: Stack capital has about 28% of its portfolio in pre ipo space x .
I assume the book value of stck is mark to market . As such without knowing its cost basis for its shares how can one determine the change in book values once the ipo happens. I expect a very heavy uptake of the ipo shares

Q: With the soon ipo of space x and the last nav of stck at 15.35 as of dec 31, which I guess is mark to market do you feel there is much upside , as the share price is now around 25. Personally I think the space x ipo to be way over subscribed and a cult like following for some time .

Q: I am considering adding STCK(growth) and OLY(dividends)
Any thoughts or problems you can see?
Thankyou

Q: I remember many years ago, when I had just started looking after my own investments. I made many mistakes and even ended up with a few "smoking holes in the ground". I have now been a long term subscriber to 5i and have enjoyed much success as a result of the teams sage advice. Than you for helping me separate the Wheat from the chaff.

As a retired high school teacher I remember way back, prior to alphabet (google's) IPO, seeing their logo on every computer in the classroom when students booted them up, and thinking, " I wonder if they would ever IPO?" Well, of course they did, and upon seeing that I would need to pay a 17% premium as a retail investor (no matter how quickly you acted the morning of the IPO) I passed on the stock until years later. I am a happy shareholder currently.

My question is, are there any pre IPO companies that you are currently excited about, and if so, how can a retail investor have the best chance of getting in on an IPO other than waiting until it trades publicly? Anthropic? others?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team - I've become interested in a cyber security company called Cohere Technology. The Canadian Government, Bell Canada and RBC have all committed to using Cohere's solutions in their cyber security defense efforts. Also the Canadian Government has planned to invest in this company.

It looks like Cohere is a private company. Do you know of any publicly traded company that has invested in Cohere or are there possible plans for an IPO. Or is there any other way for a small retail investor to get involved.
Thanks.

Q: Hello....I am looking for ideally 1 or could be in combination with a second ETF. I would like to achieve a balanced mix with say 60% with a small or 0% of US stock market and about 10% private assets and 30% fixed income. Could you suggest 1/2 ETFs that would achieve something close to this percentage breakdown. Thank you.

Q: Are there any mutual funds or ETFs which invest in Private equity? Or simply buy the companies (Blackrock, Fairfax, KK etc) to get that exposure. I would like to add that for diversification but need direction.

Q: Is it possible to invest in private markets through ETF?

Q: You probably will get a few questions in regards to this company. What are your views of stack capital and how do they operate.

Q: How do you feel about management and the prospects of Stack Capitol Group?
