Q: I have a loss on BIP but I like the fund. It would seem wise to sell the BIP and buy BIPC. Would this violate the capital gains loss?

Q: Greetings 5i and thank you for your hard work.
I have combed through the various Q's on BIP and see bits and pieces of what is happening with the 'new' shares but do not feel I have the whole picture - plse assist.
I own 300 shares of BIP.UN in a non-Reg account: what can I expect to happen and what should I wind up with when the dust settles? What will be the nature of the shares be and how many will I own?
Thanks again

Q: I currently own shares of BIP.UN - will they be automatically converted to BIPC shares or is there something I have to do on my side to initiate the conversion ?
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,

For a new purchase in a NonReg account. Is it better to buy BIPC compared to BIP.UN due to the eligible dividend?
For a new purchase in a RRSP account which one is better to buy?
For a new purchase in a TFSA account which one is better to buy?
Can you confirm that a Canadian holder of any of the above receive the dividend
automatically converted by Brookfield into CDN dollars.

thanks

Ian

Q: Under what circumstance would you consider swapping one BIPC share for one BIP.UN, assuming the ongoing dividend and unit distribution payout are identical.

Would it be just the tax consequence on the future sale of the share or unit, and perhaps the tax treatment of the dividend and unit distribution payout? Thanks.
