Q: Good afternoon - I have several Brookfield positions. My BN and BAM positions have more than doubled. My BEPC and BIPC positions have done well but nowhere close to a double. I do get higher dividends in BEPC and BIPC but BAM pays almost 3% at current prices. I'm thinking of selling BEPC and BIPC and putting the proceeds into BAM. The tax consequences are manageable. Your thoughts, please.
5i Research Answer:
With recent deals, BEPC has found its mojo again, and is up 22% YTD now. But overall we would be fine with such a proposal if an investor is OK with lower yields. BN/BAM both remain amongst our current favourite stocks in Canada and both hit new highs yesterday.
