Q: Currently I hold Fortis (FTS), Hydro One (H), NextEra (NEE), and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN) in the utilities space. I have been thinking of adding Capital Power (CPX). Could you please rank the five in terms of best overall expected return over the next few years? Would you consolidate any? Thank you.

Q: I can't keep all these Brookfield companies straight. If you want some growth with a dividend, for a long term hold, which would you prefer and why?

Q: After reading Peter's May 29th question on withholding taxes on Limited Partnerships [LPs] I worry a lot about the Brookfield companies, in particular about BEP.UN = Brookfield Renewable Partners LP. and BIP.UN = Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP. Are these not limited partnerships?

You say they are "domiciled" in Bermuda I believe, and BAM is moving it's head office to the US so it is all most confusing. Are these companies safe to own now or should I just sell them and move on to other less worrisome companies? They are in my cash account. Trouble is I have very large unrealized capital gains in BIP.UN and BEP.UN and nice dividend income so really don't want to trigger the taxes.
Thank you......... Paul K.

Q: What’s your opinion on the BIP’s Q1 result? It seams the 6% increase in dividends is above the increase in AFFO. What is now the payout ratio of the AFFO? I like this dividend increase but are they getting agressive given the AFFO results?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

I'm looking at the 3 month, 6 month and year-to-date charts of BIP.UN and BEP.UN compared to their peers (EMA and FTS). What would you attribute the reasons for their underperfmance? The 3 year chart for both of these Brookfield entities isn't exactly stellar as well.

As always, your comments and insights are highly valued.

Q: What would you think about tactically moving / trimming from EMA / FTS - the more regulated utilities to ones like BIP / BEP given the big differences in performances YTD. Would you not feel that when the markets recover EMA / FTS will be used as a source of cash?

Q: I just read that you are saying there is a 10% tax on the sale of limited partnership shares. Is that only for US LPs? Or are you saying that when I sell my bip.un shares, that i will have to pay a 10% tax on the proceeds, independent of whether there is a gain or loss from the sale?
