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). I am looking for suggestions of other high quality firms that might be considered. Use as many credits as required to answer please. Thank you for all your help over the past several years. Happy New Year! Bill
5i Research Answer:
We have nothing against preferreds for a conservative portfolio with a relative short time period. Other suggestions along this line: SLF, RY, TD, IFC, POW, ENB, FTS.
