Q: Thinking of starting a position in P&C insurers. Would DFY be a good choice for growth? How has DFY performed since demutualization? Intact is certainly growing great but is it expensive? I already own MFC & SLF would adding a P&C be too concentrated?
Thanks
Thanks

Q: We've been reading of lots of deregulation coming in the U.S generally, but especially in the financial sector. Pundits have taken to saying 'animal spirits will be unleashed'. Additionally, I wonder if orange imperialism will tend to trickle down to C suites. Can you suggest a Canadian name or two in relevant sectors that might be more likely to be taken out?
(With the proviso that their debt levels be on the low side for sector average.)
Deduct as you see fit.
Thank You,
Tim

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I have held DFY for awhile and have doubled my investment. Experience has taught me to take some money off the table when one of my stocks has reached this point. I'm thinking about selling 1/3 of the position and reinvesting the rest in 2 or 3 of the following stocks:
I have partial positions in BCE, EIF, NWC, WCN and X
I have full positions in T and TD and open to averaging down
My questions are:
1) Would you trim a position in DFY given current market conditions?
2) How do you currently rank the 7 other stocks listed
3) Would you add to existing positions in T and/or TD given their current outlooks or look elsewhere?
These are a held in a TFSA and are planned to be 15-20 year holds
Thanks for the Great Service and Happy New Year!
Colin

Balanced Equity Portfolio (BEPORT)

Definity Financial Corporation (DFY $72.31)
Q: Since noting the increase in the holding of IFC in the 5i BEPORT I have compared it to my holding in DFY to see if I should switch, but what I see is that IFC trades for a much higher PE and that performance since Nov 2021 has been only 27% vs 73% for DFY.
I understand that IFC is the industry leader, much bigger market cap, higher dividend etc but what is the real attraction here or is it that DFY is too small for the BEPORT?
