Once private equity firms entered the space, he's never again invested in a public market asset manager. The money is not sticky enough. Business economics of private equity is more compelling. If you have a big capital gain in IGM, consider that. But if not, consider rotating into something else.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate IGM, a $10 billion Canadian financial services business (with brand names including IG Wealth Management and Mackenzie Investments) as a TOP PICK. It trades at 13x earnings and a PEG ratio under 1.0. It is currently valued at just under 2x book value. It reinstated its dividend with an excellent yield that is backed by an expected payout ratio under 60% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $35) to $45, looking $57.50 -- upside potential over 15%. Yield 4.55% (Analysts’ price target is $57.25)

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.

investment companies / funds

BUY

The business of investment plans has been doing very well. With everyone at home, they are spending more time looking at portfolios. There is really a market for professional investment advice. He thinks this market will have hiccups. He is bullish on this industry in general, however.

investment companies / funds

DON'T BUY

IGM-T vs. MIC-T. He would prefer MIC-T. He likes the underlying fundamentals, but has always worried about a real estate downturn and how it would affect it. He prefers it to IGM-T where he does not see how the fee structure would be sustainable in the long run.

investment companies / funds

HOLD

The family of companies are well run. There are headwinds investing in a mutual fund business. It rallied back recently and pays a decent dividend. The dividend is safe.

investment companies / funds

SELL

Buy BAM instead? Nice up-channel, but faces resistance. Neutral for him. Yes, sell IGM and buy BAM.

investment companies / funds

DON'T BUY

They're in a tough spot with buyers going more into ETFs. But IGM has support from the Power Group. He doesn't see a strong reason to hold this, though.

investment companies / funds

WAIT

Is the 7.5% dividend sustainable? - He thinks the dividend is sustainable as the company has a nice balance sheet and the company has a different business model compared to other mutual fund companies. That hasn't stopped the stock to come down like all other mutual fund stocks. He would wait until the market works it out.

investment companies / funds

DON'T BUY

Have long been the highest cost provider but he does not know if that is still the case today. They have a lot more headwinds than tailwinds.

investment companies / funds

COMMENT

Banging its head against his EBV +3 level. Closed at $43.48, and he has a model price of $49.17, a 36% upside. However, the regulatory environment in Canada is really, really tough, and he doesn't see it changing anytime soon.

investment companies / funds

COMMENT

As an established Canadian company, this has one of the higher dividends, close to 6%. This has been under pressure from the move away from commission based products to EFT’s, etc. The company is now positioned and the stock has been washed out. Being in one of the great bull markets of history, it is going to help all stocks, and this company is going to do just fine.

investment companies / funds

DON'T BUY

It has issues. Its underlying mutual funds are generally high fees. It is more vulnerable to a sell off because the shares are expensive, 17 times PE. The mutual fund space is being hit with lower fees.
