Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My plan is delay OAS, at the same time trying to not go overboard on dividend-payers in my taxable account to limit the clawback. I'm wondering if adding REITs instead tend to help that situation.

Generally speaking, is the payout from Canadian REITs such as GRT.UN and DIR.UN in a form that is beneficial in that regard? Is there a CAD ETF that invests in the U.S. that might also be a good idea?

I hope this doesn't come across as tax advice.

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on owning Stantec, with respect to its current valuation and future growth vis a vis its competitors ? We have a small position and looking to add, to increase our exposure to Industrial sector. Is it prudent to wait for the quarterly results, due in a couple of weeks or take advantage of current weakness due to markets ? What would be a reasonable price range to buy ? Thank You

Q: Both of these in a non-reg USD account. Considering selling BIP.UN for very small gain and investing proceeds in BEPC to claim dividend tax credit benefit (not much for me at 43% marginal rate). What do you see as downsides to this plan?
