BUY

Picking up Putnam Funds in the US, so they are becoming a substantial wealth management company. Have a long-term track record of being very disciplined. Very investor and shareholder focused.

BUY

Indirectly owns this one through Power Financial (PWF-T). Quite optimistic with the acquisition of the US Putnam Group.

TOP PICK

(Due to technical difficulties, comments were not available.)

BUY

This is an industry that has been growing for a long, long time. Population is aging and people need insurance. An extremely well-managed company. He doesn't do large cap companies.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 24/06. Up 13.8%.) Picked it as it was lagging a little bit. Would still buy in the $33 range. 20% plus ROE.

BUY

A fantastic performer. Nice, study, creeping higher and higher. Well-managed. Good dividend yield.

TOP PICK

The mutual fund of insurance companies. Very good dividend at almost 3%. Under the radar screen in relation to Manulife (MFC-T).

SELL

ROE has deteriorated. Interest rate sensitive, so it is very important that interest rates go lower. He just sold his holdings.

BUY

Should be good and solid. Tracking up nicely.

BUY

Longer term will continue to do well. Insurance industry is not very expensive and pays a good yield.

DON'T BUY

Dividend of 3.1%. Has experienced problems with its US businesses. If you want to be in the life insurance sector, would prefer Manu Life (MFC-T). Would prefer banks over life insurance.

TOP PICK

20% ROE. Health insurance in the US is a big part of their insurance side. Probably has only 10/12% earnings growth over the next quarter, but with the high ROE and 3% dividend, he can see 15% for the next 12 months.

BUY

It's really done nothing for so long and has been very much range bound. Outlook for them is quite good.

HOLD

His favourite life insurance is Manufacturers (MFC-T) but this is also a great company.

HOLD

Performing reasonably well. Earnings will be based on the market somewhat so can be cyclical.
