5 Canadian Stocks to Buy and Forget + Are CPP’s Returns Actually Bad?

from The Canadian Investor · host Braden Dennis & Simon Belanger

In this episode, we break down the latest CPP Investments annual report and why comparing CPP’s returns directly to the S&P 500 or TSX misses the mark. We discuss CPP’s 7.8% fiscal-year return, its heavy exposure to private equity, real assets and credit, and whether the high fees and complexity are justified over the long run. We also look at five Canadian stocks that could fit a “buy it, lock it away, and don’t touch it for 10 years” mindset. From railways and waste collection to royalty companies, grocers, and energy producers, we discuss which businesses may have the durability, moats, and cash flow profiles to survive and compound through different market environments. Tickers of Stock discussed: WCN.TO, FNV.TO, WPM.TO, CP.TO, CNR.TO, L.TO, CNQ.TO, ENB.TO, DOL.TO, RY.TO, BNS.TO, BAM.TO, BN.TO, CSU.TO, TRI.TO, META, NVDA, GOOGL, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, TSM, AVGO, TSLA Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!
