Q: Hi, there was a question from Kevin on May 27th. Prices and valuations have changed since then. Could you please give an update to your answer? Thank you!

Q: Looking to open a position in one of the 2 listed companies or others if you have any to recommend. Long term investor with 0 exposure to the real estate sector in the portfolio yet.

Colliers growth projections and better valuation along with positive analysts ratings make it more attractive on the surface. However, I know that you have First Service in the growth portfolio, is there something that I'm missing as to why I should choose FSV before CIGI? Could you please give a breakdown between the two and the reasoning behind choosing one over the other?

Q: Having invested in Colliers in 2020, I've seen it achieve a fourfold return on my initial investment. Considering this performance, would you advise further capital allocation to this asset? Furthermore, do you anticipate its growth rate will be sustainable at a comparable pace, particularly as the company continues to scale. Thank you.

Thanks again!

Q: Hi

BN is 3.6% of our portfolio.

Financials are 19% of or portfolio and our Real Estate is at .50%.

Thinking of selling half of our BN and buying CIGI to reduce our financials and increase our Real Estate.

Does this make sense?

Thank you

Mike

Q: Hi 5i,

I am calculating a fcf yield for go easy,
