Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am retired and currently own both companies for the long term. Bip at 3% and Bam at 5%. I want to raise my exposure to the Brookfield companies. Looking for a stable dividend and some growth. I also like BPY. Would you rather raise BIP, to 5% add to Bam or add a chunk of BPY. say at 3% for a first piece of it. Is there an overlap problem owning various Brookfield companies ?

Q: Not a question but information about dividends received from the above. I have my investments at Questrade, and hold the Canadian-listed in my LIRA and TFSA and the U.S.-listed in my Spousal RRSP. I have been receiving the Canadian dividends (as per close of day Bank of Canada exchange rate) paid into my Canadian account without any fee and U.S. dividends paid as announced into my U.S. side of the account. This occurred without me making any request of Questrade. I believe it is because Brookfield pays the dividend to the brokerage in the currency of the stocks held.
Cheers, J

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan can you tell me if there is benefit or a drawback in holding a trust in a TFSA more specifically BAM or BEP.UN. I was thinking of adding one of these. Which would be a better addition to a TFSA to reap the greater reward. Thanks, Nick

Q: Hi Team,

I love the work you do. I was just wondering what you would recommend purchasing when KWH.UN gets bought out? I am looking to replace it with another utilily. I owned Enercare, but when that got taken over I didn't replace it with another utility (but a bank stock). I am really looking for a good utility company. My investment style is that I try to be balanced. I like a combination of growth and dividends and hold my stocks for a long time. If you currently like a few, could you rank them in order and tell why you like them?

Thank you for all your hard work,
Terri
