TRADE
Talk of it becoming an income trust, but Sun Life, a major unit holder, would not want this because of the tax implications for them. This is an industry where there are fluctuations in earnings so may not be a good trust candidate.
HOLD
Mutual fund companies have been sluggish because he believes they are somewhat concerned about the market. Has a lot of upside potential. When we get to the top side of the market, you'd be better off not in them.
HOLD
A solid grower over the years. Made good acquisitions. Will continue to grow. Well managed in regards to costs. Good margins. A high 3% dividend yield.
BUY
Feels the fund companies in Canada have put a couple of bad years behind them. Now seeing net sales. C.I. is an aggressive, acquisitive company. Well managed.
WEAK BUY
Had a great year as the stock market did well. They'll probably continue to do OK and gain market share from other mutual fund companies. On the other hand, they recently financed through an arm called Skylon through individual brokers rather than an underwriter. May create some negativity by big brokerages.
BUY
Likes this company. Very shareholder friendly. Will share excess cash through dividends. Thinks Sun Life will eventually take it out.
BUY
An excellent company with a great stable of managers. Has grown by acquisition. The number would point to a higher share price, but has been held back by the hearings with the OSC and IDA. Should be able to realize some higher prices on this company.
DON'T BUY
A lot of consolidation going on in the sector where you are going to have fewer players fighting for fewer dollars. MER's are such a drag to performance. Has been very aggressive on their acquisitions. They have it valued between $14 and $18. Mutual Funds won't have the growth they used to.
HOLD
Under some cloud/pressure because of day trading in mutual funds issue. FMV is substantially higher than current price.
HOLD
Bad news did not have much affect. Had a long advance in '03 and a long corrective period in '04. Starting to make 52 week highs.
DON'T BUY
A difficult market for mutual funds. Pays a nice dividend. Doesn't expect too much from it in the near term.
DON'T BUY
One of the best mutual fund companies to be in. Probably not the greatest time to put your money into mutual fund companies.
TRADE
Have been very good at successful acquisitions. Generating substantial free cash flow and using it to increase dividends. Attractive yield. Not an attractive growth. Doesn't believe rumours of a takeover by Sun Life next year.
TOP PICK
A mispriced asset. Likes the financials while everyone else is falling all over themselves in natural resources.
HOLD
Large investers. Committed long term to this business
