A holding company with Power Financial being a main holding. It is Great West Life investor group, so financial and mutual funds. Not a lot of growth. The original founder has died and his children took over. A disappointing stock and not exciting. He held it but sold.

He owns PWF instead, which pays a slightly higher dividend. POW is a solid company that's grown for a long time. The generation that's inherited that company may lack the drive of the founder but they are operating steadily. Worth holding onto, a buy-and-hold.

He does not own them and has not done for years. He would trade into something else. For over 10 years that has been dead money. He does not see how management will create anything exciting.

About 8% payout ratio. This is a prime candidate for him to purchase. This one could end up lagging the performance of the overall market over the next 12 months.

Great company. Beta is between 0.8-1, so more defensive than broad market. In a choppy market, things with high yields and low beta tend to do better, though not immune to a downturn altogether. Could do worse, but could do better. Not your best horse in terms of asset management. Dividend yield is about 6%.

Life insurance companies have not done that well. This company owns Great West Life, which has been a disappointment.

Dividend is safe. But not a lot of capital appreciation. Underlying subsidiaries have not performed well. She prefers a company that provides more visibility and has higher dividend and cash flow growth. Yield is 5.5%.

The market has taken the point of view that until the areas they are primarily in show growth or momentum, the rest of their company has only been doing 'okay'. You won't get significant appreciation in the foreseeable future.

PWF or POW? He would prefer Power Financial as it trades to a discount to the parent. He is not a big fan of the Investors Group and Great West Life. He would look towards others in the space -- preferably the Canadian banks instead.

POW vs. PWF POW has better liquidity so institutional investors prefer it. For growth, though, these are plays on life insurance. The PWF yield is over 6% and tantalizing. They likely won't cut the dividend, but probably will pause dividend growth. There are better stocks in asset management or insurance. He wouldn't buy either for capital appreciation.

POW-T vs. PWF-T. She owns a bit of Power financial. Either one is probably fine. They are considered income stocks so if interest rates go down it should be beneficial for both.

It's been rangebound for so long. It's consolidating to 2016 levels now and the chart looks good.

Don't buy a stock only for the dividend, because some won't see growth, like POW. Lower interest rates won't help them. They bought Wealthsimple, but will that pay off? He's been holding his breath on POW for a long time and he's given up. POW is always on the wrong side of trends.

(A Top Pick Jun 12/18, Down 2%) He bought it when Desmarais died and expected his heirs to inject fresh ideas. The NAV is now far ahead of the stock price. Still owns it, getting a nice 5.75% dividend. There are small signs that management is trying to make investors happier, but falling rates is negative for all insurers like POW, he's disappointed that a catalyst hasn't pushed these assets to their full potential.
