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: What is the RISK % out of 10 for each of these three stocks?.....Tom
Read Answer Asked by Tom on June 03, 2025
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: I need to liquidate a portion of a portfolio holding the 8 stocks listed. Can you please rank them in the order you would sell (first to last) based on potential for total return over the next 3-4 years?

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: I sold these stocks for tax loss harvesting just over three weeks ago. Please confirm how long I have to wait before I can buy it back - 30 calendar days?

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 am considering taking positions in both of the above companies. Is there any redundancy in this proposal, i.e., would bip.un assets cover what bep.un owns and beyond.

Thanks

David

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?

Q: Hello.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, how would you rank these 4 names for a combination of yield and growth for a ~ 2 year time frame?

Thanks.

Q: My mortgage is coming due at a much higher rate than it has been for the past 5 years, so given the current economic uncertainty, I’ve decided to sell half of my unregistered portfolio to pay it off. I understand this will incur tax, and I’m prepared for that. Here are my holdings—please advise on the optimal order of selling to ensure the remaining portfolio is defensive, particularly against tariffs and economic uncertainty. I'm open to the cheese slicer method across some or all stocks. Please deduct credits as you see fit. Thank you!
