Q: I have two small positions in CSH.UN (1.3%) and SIS (1.0%), and I wanted to consolidate the invested capital into one holding. I consider them both to be investments within the healthcare space, which is part of the reason for consolidating these two holdings. I am strongly leaning towards selling CSH.UN and buying more SIS. Does this sound reasonable, or is there another option worth considering?
