PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 04/21, Up 34.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CIX has triggered its stop at $23.50. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.

BUY

Has always been a good long-term hold. Model price of $57, 110% upside. Nice dividend of 2.65%. Risk/reward is quite good. More acquisitive in the last 6 months, good long-term strategy.

BUY

Really likes the investment management sector. It should be pretty good business in a time of a decent market and reflation. When a group gets into gear, you want to look at the leaders.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 04/21, Up 38.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CIX is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $12.50) to $23.50 -- the previous upside objective. If triggered this would all but guarantee a investment return over 34%.

WATCH

They acquire a lot of businesses, especially in the U.S. investment advsiors, and are shifting from mutual funds to private investment advisory. This will be a powerful platform. The stock has been languishing below $20 for a long time, especially in 2020. When markets go down, asset managers go down more, and rise more than markets rising. However, CI goes down, but not up. CIX has a bright future though; it pays a solid dividend. Will their legacy business, which has been declining, level out at some point? He keeps watching it.

DON'T BUY

He was stopped out. Their return metrics are deteriorating. They are in an industry with a lot of challenges. They have navigated these challenges well, however. He thinks perhaps this is a bit of a value trap as their top line has not really grown and they have made acquisitions. He prefers others.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CIX is a Canadian financial asset management company who manages mutual and various hedge funds. It trades a just over 7x earnings, compared to a sector average of 14x. There has been a sizable increase in insider buying over the past three months. It pays a good dividend backed by a payout ratio of 30% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $12.50, looking to achieve $23.50 -- upside potential over 34%. Yield 4.12% (Analysts’ price target is $23.17)

WAIT

He's on the fence. Strategically, now going in the right direction away from low-fee asset management. But they've been on a real spree of acquisitions. Wait and see if they get a return on investment dollars. A show-me story.

DON'T BUY

Wouldn't buy. On the surface, yield of 4.6% appears competitive. Cut the dividend by 50% in 2018. Strategically making the right moves by making acquisitions into high net worth asset management, which has better demographics and margins. But what's the return going to be? Earnings have flatlined. Value trap.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 02/19, Down 25%) He got stopped out. It was a value play. It was cheap at $15. He doesn't know how retailer investors will respond to this current uncertainty. The mutual fund business was facing headwinds before the pandemic. He won't buy back his shares.

DON'T BUY

It's cheap and a pretty well run business, but the mutual fund business is not as good as it was 10-15 years ago. Fees in the financial services sector are under pressure. The long term challenges in the industry would keep him away from the stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A big Canadian mutual fund company. A go-go stock for many years and a fast-grower, but is now under pressure like the sector. Still produces a lot of fresh cash flow. It's in trading range of $18-23. Pays a nice dividend.

WEAK BUY

Optimal period is between October and February. Positive in 15 of last 20 periods. Charts show a downtrend. We have a breakout. Trading above moving averages, has momentum. New trend should carry it higher. Technicals do look supportive.

TOP PICK

They are facing some challenges as money moves from active to passive management. They are very profitable and have lots of free cash flow. They buy back shares and have a decent dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $21.33)
