Q: I own all the various Brookfield entities on the US side of my TD Waterhouse accounts. I did this to ensure I receive the USD dividends without paying exchange fees to convert them to CDN. Recent Q&As have confused me:
- are there instances where the currency conversion still happens even though the stocks are held on the USD side?
- if so, how do I avoid that
- can you confirm what the current yield is for each Brookfield entity and if its paid in USD or CDN

Thanks

Q: Further to Stephen's posting about BIP USD dividend discrepancies Sep 11, 2025. We have noted similar issues with BIP, BAM and BIPC in our Questrade accounts. We have asked our broker to request Brookfield to pay our dividends directly in USD. This is possible according to Brookfield's websites.

Summarized below from : https://bip.brookfield.com/bipc/stock-dividends/dividend-history

Currency Option
The quarterly dividend payable on the Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation’s Class A shares are declared in U.S. dollars.

....

Canadian Beneficial Shareholders
Canadian beneficial shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of CDS or a name other than their own name (i.e., generally those holding their Class A shares with a Canadian brokerage), should contact their broker if they would like to receive the dividends in U.S. dollars.

Q: Brookfield and related entities. What percentage of total portfolio would YOU be comfortable holding. Right now I am at about 13% including BN, BAM, BEP, BIP and BIPC all held in a USD non-reg account. BN is largest holding in Portfolio.
