• Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (BBU.UN $45.59)
  • $45.59 Cap: $9.58B
  • View BBU.UN Profile
  • View Questions on BBU.UN

Q: Please comment which type of account (non-registered, RRSP or TFSA) would be best suited to hold Brookfield Business Partners). From the prospectus the distribution will be approximately $0.25 per annum (1 %). I currently hold the other Brookfield LP entities (BEP, BIP and BPY) so I am familiar with the issues associated with T-5013 on my tax return.

Please comment whether it's better to hold the TSE listed units (BBU-UN) in Canadian dollars or the NYSE listed units in US dollars.

Thank you for the excellent service.

Q: Like others, I hold a number of REITs, mainly for income. I'm increasingly concerned how the value of these would be effected when Canadian real estate corrects.

I'd like to know how much would you expect the price of REITs (in general, ofcourse) to change if there is a hard landing for real estate in Canada (say a correction of 30%). Perhaps an estimate with respect to Industrial, Commercial and Apartment style REITs.
