Q: I recently initiated positions in both BEPC and BIPC. I was confronted with the decision to invest in the LP or the corporations. In the end, I decided to invest in the corps as it was in a taxable account, and I wanted to keep thing simple from a tax perspective. Now I find out today that the company is profiting (at my expense) by running an arbitrate strategy between the two classes of shares. How is this in my best interest as a shareholder of the corporations (vs LPs)? Does this open the company up to liability in the sense they are treating each class of shares differently? Can't help feeling both betrayed and regret that I should have bought the LPs. Should I do the same and sell the corps to buy the LP’s or just let it play out?
