Review: Canadian stock picking for the long term

Canadian General Investments (CGI) is a TSX- and LSE-listed investment company that provides actively managed exposure to Canadian equities. CGI’s NAV total returns have outperformed its S&P/TSX Composite Index benchmark over five years and the shares have additionally benefited from a narrowing discount during 2014. Well-established growth in the US economy is helpful for the Canadian market, while the negative effect of its above average energy exposure is arguably balanced by a lower P/E rating and, for CGI, by an underweight position in this sector. CGI also offers a 4.1% dividend yield and scope for further narrowing of the discount.
