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

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.
