Q: I am puzzled, on July 9th, was it a split or a consolidation at 4 - 1? from the chart, the stock went from $10 to $40 on that date. How do you get 4 times as much stock while at the same time the stock appreciates 400%. What am I missing since I also believe that on the whole the market is efficient. Thank you, Martin

Q: Hello:

Could you explain the difference between TSU and BAMR? Could you also explain the Reinsurance industry? With TSU doing very well recently and the BAMR spinout, it seems like a developing field ie good growth investment potential. Which of the two would you pick from a more conservative, balanced perspective?

My thanks.

Q: Hi team,

In the financial sector, would you buy now for strong growth any of the above or Futu Holdings ? Why ? Why not ? If none of them, which other ones would you prefer ?

Have a good week-end,

Q: if the reinsurance business is successful will the future share price of BAMR be higher than BAM.A? will the dividend of BAMR.always be the same as BAM.A? since the shares of BAMR are exchangeable 1 for1 for shares of BAM.A is this then a floor price for BAMR? I am still confused by the answers you have provided and request your patience and further clarification.as I want to invest in the reinsurance industry not BAM.A which I already hold thanks Richard

Q: To my knowledge both of these companies are in the specialty insurance business. Given that TSU is wholly owned by BAM.A (3.5% of my overall holdings; overlap concerns?), which do you prefer for a conservative investor and why. What would be their outlook considering an post-COVID opening world and over the next 5 yrs? Is there another name you prefer more in this specialty space?

Thank you!

Q: Good morning,
Looking to add TSU to my TFSA. It is more expensive than other insurers but seems to be more of a growth story than the others that I consider more as income stocks. They have had good results and the outlook still indicates further growth. Can you provide a few more details on this company? Do you know management or background?
Hard to find growth that is not TECH.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team
Comparing Fairfax Financial and Intact Financial, both in the Property & Casualty Insurance sub-industry (TMX data), which is the better choice? FFH seems to always in the news about its other investments rather than its insurance business, whereas IFC appears to be solid in its insurance operations
According to a recent Globe & Mail article, IFC could be a potential acquirer of smaller P&C insurance companies, would this also apply to FFH or is FFH more interested in its other investments?
Trisura Group is listed as Specialty Insurance sector. Is it comparable to FFH and IFC, noting its market capitalization is only $380M compared to $12B / $18B for FFH/IFC?
Thanks

Q: I noticed that Trisura has a potential run up in the bid / ask (~$6) compared to last night's closing price ($38.02 - 38.50 range). Over the past 4 - 5 months there has been insider buying yet, I cannot find news short of calling them directly. They seem to be immune from work stoppages unless a contractor goes bankrupt. In the Corporate Insurance, segment, there could be a slowdown in top-line growth though they have a good renewal business. Their policies do not cover business interruptions from the pandemic. Also, given that they are a wholly owned sub of Brookfield Asset Mgmnt., I have a good comfort level and am considering moving to a full position. May I have your thoughts?
Thank you
