PARTIAL BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

URB is a small investment hodling company ($345M market cap) with a decent yield of 1.5%, healthy sales growth over the years (while not completely consistent), and expanding profit margins. It pursues a mix of public-equity investments, private-equity, and investments in financial-services/exchange/fintech-type businesses. It owns names like MS, KKR, CBOE, and others. It trades at a discount to its NAV of $12.41 (as of Oct 17, 2025). Insider ownership is high at 57.7%. Momentum has been strong, and we would be OK with it as a value stock, but would not want a big position.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

URB invests in private equity and debt and holds mining interests in Quebec.  The mining interests are carried at zero valuation in their books.  There are new investors in the area, so there could be good upside from this asset.  The shares trade at 2x earnings and under book value, while supporting a 28% return on investment.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $4.50, looking to achieve $6.50 -- upside potential over 28%.  Yield 2.3%    

BUY
Single largest holding in portfolio. Likes business and believes in the future of the company. Excellent business prospects.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 2/15. Down 7.35%.) Generally doesn’t like closed-end funds, but likes this because they are always buying back stock. Also, have some assets that have some fairly explosive upside. 2.5% dividend yield.

TOP PICK

A closed-end fund run by good management. Management buys back its stock, which very few closed-end funds do. It owns some interesting assets, notably the Canadian Securities Exchange, which is gaining market share against the Venture Exchange. Also, owns an exchange in India which has been threatening to go public for years. This could finally happen with the new government in place. Trading at a big discount to its NAV. Not very liquid, so don’t buy at Market, but put in bids and try to get them filled. Yield of 2.36%.
