BUY
Likes the company and the sector. A tremendous amount of money on the sidelines in Canada. A lot of it is parked in money market funds, brokerage and savings accounts. That will move back into the market and fund companies will see their profit margins increase. Good dividend.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't seem to be growing as well as it has in the past. Also there are other cheaper options. 3.6% yield.
TOP PICK
Top Short Coming under a lot of pressure. Dropped dramatically over the past year because of the declining revenue streams and the leverage they have on that. Would get out at $12. Short term (6 months), not a long-term trade.
DON'T BUY
Financials and particularly funds are not what they have been for the last 20 years. Funds are under pressure. It's going to be a tough go.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 3/06.) Converted to an income trust, but will be turning back into a corporation in 2010. Still likes it as a trust.
COMMENT
Proving to be one of the survivors and main companies left in the competitive field of mutual funds. Makes very good acquisitions. We are now into the RRSP season, which is a good time of year for them.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 3/06. Down 6.5%.) Has converted to a trust (CIX.UN-T). Mutual-fund sales have dropped over the last few months. 6.9% yield. Good earnings growth. Still likes.
BUY
Changing to a trust so some index funds will have o pick it up which will give it a bit of a pop. Fundamentally, the fund is doing quite well.
BUY
A very predictable business. All fee revenue. This stock is holding in very well.
WAIT
Canada's largest independent income fund. Converting into an income trust. Yield would probably be in the 6.5/6.8% range. Before buying, delve into the outlook as a trust for their business and their ability to grow.
HOLD
There should be a nice pop when it changes into a trust.
BUY
Will be converting to a trust. Will be paying out $2 to each unit holder. This has been one of the more attractive financials. Has been impacted negatively by the sector.
DON'T BUY
When the market drops, their whole asset base goes down and this is why the stock has dropped. They have announced their intention to become an income trust, but there may be a hold. Not seeing net redemptions. Fully priced.
BUY
Converting into an income trust. Thinks it will keep going. Extremely good management. Likes the demographics for the mutual fund business.
HOLD
An incredible success story. Converting into an income trust. If you own, continue to hold as you will get the yield support.
