HOLD

Missed their numbers slightly in the quarter but had great growth in Asia and Japan with really good growth in Canada. The part that hurt them was the US. Probably fairly priced and one of the more expensive stocks in that sector.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 12/06. Down 2%.) Sold this to raise some cash.

BUY

Very good growth. John Hancock in the US has been successful. Good Asian growth that has started to be more meaningful to them than it has been to other Canadian life companies. Decent valuation. Good dividend.

BUY

Likes this company.

BUY

Good international exposure, especially in China.

DON'T BUY

Expensive. Trading mildly above its “fair market value”. Brilliantly run and the acquisition has been managed well, but you are now paying top dollar.

One of his favourite stocks. Excellent franchise in Canada as well as they US with John Hancock and Asia in China and Japan. Solid earnings.

BUY

Prefers over Sun Life (SLF-T) as they have an edge on management and global diversification.

BUY

Believes it is now the #1 life insurance company in the US. Have tremendous fee revenue and growth opportunities in Asia. His favourite financial in the Canadian market. Defensive.

A very stable stock. A star Canadian financial institution. The best managed in the whole financial area in Canada. Has the best international exposure and the best earnings growth.

BUY

Good ROE. Good growth in the US through John Hancock and in Asia. Multiples are not bad.

TOP PICK

Great management. Likes their John Hancock acquisition in the US as well as their great franchises in Asia that are only going to get larger and larger. Trades at a higher ROE than the banks.

BUY

A great company. Trades at 15 X earnings. Low yield at 2%. 2nd largest life insurer in North America. The John Hancock acquisition was integrated very well. Have a great and growing franchise in Asia. Expect they will make another acquisition.

BUY

Since insurance companies tend to be cash cows, this company should have good long-term growth.

BUY

Good, solid company. Tremendous track record. Made some very important acquisitions in the US. Operates in the far east as well. Nice, long-term hold.
