Q: I have held a large Position in BIP.UN in my RRSP for many years. The equity has done OK but in looking back wonder why my Financial Advisor didn't suggest i rotate this into BN or BAM to gain max returns.

I don't need the income and it seems alot of BIP.UN's return comes in the form of the dividend which is not treated favorably within a Registered Account so BIP.UN seems not best for RRSP.

How would you suggest i better allocate these funds within a Registered Account between Brookfield companies to gain max benefit and at what price(s) would you suggest the switch?

Just on a side note i previously also held BEP.UN and my advisor suggested it was rated a Sell by Veritas so i let him sell at a very inopportune moment ($33). He claimed Veritas had a Sell on all Brookfield companies. Is Veritas a reputable rating Agency because they seem to just dislike any and all Brookfield entities?

Q: These companies are classified as 100% financials and 100% Canada. Doesn't holding ownership of BIF and others make them diversified across sectors and countries? Thanks

Q: BAM vs. RY—both are solid picks for income and long-term capital gains, and I currently hold both. I already have substantial exposure to bank stocks and the HCAL ETF. Since BAM falls under your strong-rated names, I’m considering increasing my position in BAM and trimming RY. Do you think that’s a smart move?
