DON'T BUY

Over the decades, they made poor acquisitions and should have accepted buy-out offers. It's now a shadow of itself, though is well run and generates cash. The only way to maximize value is to sell it (or raise the dividend each year).

SELL

Would recommend selling. Dividend rising too fast. Earnings not quality. Better options for investors. Current price presenting value to sell. Brookfield a better option.

PARTIAL BUY

Possible takeout candidate. Cheap share price value. Paying stable dividend. Not highest quality name in sector. Would recommend partial investment.

DON'T BUY

AGF.B vs. GWO

His preference is for quality. He likes POW, which owns GWO, for dividend growth and share buybacks. AGF.B might have higher return potential because it's smaller with more volatility, but POW will give him a higher Sharpe ratio over the long term because it's not as volatile.

DON'T BUY

Ongoing turnaround case.
Does not like asset management business (tough to make profits).
Revenues sensitive to market environments.
Current price not presenting a buying opportunity.

DON'T BUY

Mackenzie Investment Group is much more dynamic, much bigger. Better play.

HOLD

Owns shares in company as prices has been very cheap. Prefers Guardian capital. Still paying a healthy dividend. Expecting healthy cash flow and profit. If own shares, keep them.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We again reiterate AGF.B, a Canadian based financial service provider with growing assets under management, as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings showed a healthy 35% increase in net sales. It trades at 14x earnings compared to peers at 25x and is trading below book value. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 65% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $6.50) to $6.85, looking to achieve $9.00 -- over 15% upside. Yield 4.79% (Analysts’ price target is $8.80)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This Canadian based financial service provider, with $43 billion under management, is reiterated as a TOP PICK. It has diversified out to include alternative investment products -- bespoke investment beyond traditional stocks and bonds. It trades at only 4x earnings compared to peers at 9x, is trading below book value, and has no long term debt. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 55% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop to $6.50, looking to achieve $9.75 -- over 16% upside. Yield 4.45%

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Stock's been very cheap for a long time. Underowned. Climbing the wall of worry. Don't buy now, as it's whippy. Dividend is safe. Good place to be if you like asset management. Valuations are really good, with probably more to go.

HOLD

We'll see very good numbers out of the investment management companies, given the run in markets. He hasn't looked at AGF lately, but it's interesting. The current 4% dividend could slightly rise. AGF is fairly valued as is its PE. Hold, if you own.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly AGF is an independent provider of financial services and products, who has over $39 billion under management. It has diversified out to include alternative investment products -- bespoke investment beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Revenue growth last year was over 24%. It trades at only 4x earnings compared to peers at 24x and is trading below book value. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 15% of cash flow. As such, we recommend holding this for the income generation, without setting a pre-set upper limit. We would buy this with stop loss at $6.50. Yield 4.17% (Analysts’ price target is $8.30)

COMMENT

Is there any growth in the investment business? AGF's balance sheet is too big for what they earn. Potential write-offs must happen to bring that down. Asset management businesses are being killed. $10.84 is his target price--lots of upside and they can cover their dividend.

DON'T BUY

He has owned it in the past and sold a while ago because the share price dropped. The big issue is that they have a lot of margin pressure facing them. They are struggling against a tide. The share price is cheap but you need to look at where the industry is going.
