Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: As my wife and I 'leap' over the 90 year-yard line, we ponder what to invest in for our heirs in the coming year - - specifically using our 'new' TFSA contribution room. Historically, we have preferred to use Perpetual Preferred shares - - specifically WN.PR.A and POW.PR.A for their yield, their track record as companies, their distributions which are dividends and taxed as such, and they offer DRIP (at least in our discount house).

Happy New Year! Bill
