Review of Boyd Group Income Fund

Q: Hello 5I
My holdings include, with total portfolio weights::
ATD.B (4.65%); BYD.UN (5.65%); CP (3.65); CSU (3.50%); GSY (4.6%); WSP (4.20%); ZEM (4.5%)

I have concern about a possible recession and economic slow down, and I would like to structure the equities in my portfolio with a bit more of a conservative and defensive tilt.

I otherwise would want to keep these positions but do you see any of these 7 being less conservative and defensive? With my objective in mind, should any be reduced or eliminated?

thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Once the vote on conversion occurs, would you be able to provide members with an update,and explanation around tax implications? It appears there is some confusion around if taxes have to be paid upon conversion or at a later date when shares are sold. Also, what will the dividend be as under the current structure we receive interest
Thanks for the great service,and recommendation on Boyd.
Phil

Q: Looking to buy BYD.UN for my TFSA account - should I wait for the conversion to take place or can I go ahead and buy now. I understand that there could be a capital gain hit upon their conversion but not sure if this will have an effect if I buy it for my TFSA.
Thanks
