Q: Hello Peter and team, I'm considering adding to my half position in EFN. But while I know it's up nicely over the past year, the recent performance has not been good, including today when it is down in an otherwise buoyant market. Any reason I should hold off?
Also, which of ESP and DHX.B would you suggest I favour (for the long term) if I am adding to only one or the other's position. Thanks as always!

Q: Hi 5i: I have too many stocks and am trying to consolidate. I'd appreciate your comments on my financial holdings, which are a little over 15% of my portfolio. On the C$ side I have: SLF (3/4 position), EFN (full) and CXI (1/2); on the US$ side I have JPM (3/4), C (1/2) and KRE (1/2). I hold some Canadian banks in separate dividend portfolio that I am not concerned about right now. In my active portfolio I would like to hold maybe 4 financial stocks with weights that balance out risk and provide some diversification within the sector. Your comments would be much appreciated. Suggestions to swap some of what I hold for other stocks would also be welcomed.
Q: I currently own both Canaccord and Fiera with a significant loss on CF and not much to show for FSZ during the past year. I originally invested in these because I was looking for something different from the traditional banks and wealth management and deal making in a growth environment seemed ideal. Do you still see value in these because Element is of interest and I am wondering if a switch out of one or both is in order.
My concerns with EFN are two fold. First, there has been much discussion about them buying a big part of GE's leasing business. I am assuming that this is reflected in the price. So, if that deal does not go through, would you expect a sharp price decline.
Second, they are quite exposed to interest rates changes. You have discussed this previously as it pertains to EFN and you noted that interest rate increases could negatively affect the stock. Do you make your recommendation to buy this based on your belief that rates are not going up or that they have the administrative where with all to weather that storm?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Could you provide a brief summary on why you would include Element Financial in your growth portfolio. I see they have always made money but what about them makes you believe they will continue to grow.
Thanks

Q: Can I get 5i's updated view on Element Financial? Earnings were released on Wednesday and they seemed to match guidance and street expectations. I also noticed it has been doing quite well over the past few months compared to banks (although bank earnings see to be giving banks some catch up). How do you think EFN will do versus the rest of the financial sector?
Q: Could I have your thoughts on Element's increased outlook for 2015 announced today? Thanks.
