Investment Q&A

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

Q: "This will allow more investors (those that can't buy trust units) to buy shares. We view it as a positive move. Shareholders will get one new share for every four held. "

What does this mean for someone like me who was just about to get into the stock , do I wait for this to wash out or do i get in now , also timeline of the "split" ?

I thought splits always went the other way 4 for 1 not 1 for 4 .. ?

For a regular retail investor in TFSA and my RSP the wording on the release is a bit confusing to say the least .

Thanks for any additional info .

Q: BEP.UN: just announced a new structure involving the shares such that it becomes Canadian listed vs current structure of a limited partnership and the stock is up a fair bit on the news. We have owned this one for quite a while in a registered account. Can you explain this new proposal and whether this is still a hold?

Q: Hi,

BEP has taken off recently and despite the market's rush to safety and dividend paying stocks, I can't rationalize the quick increase. From my charting work, the current price is as high as it'll go in the near term unless it has some new sources of growth (i.e. acquisitions). I'll also note that its upward move comes with increasing volume, however in the past 2 weeks both price and volume have stagnated (which supports my thesis and chart that this has topped).

AQN, looks better at the moment - similar dividend as BEP, but with more growth potential.

For me, all points lead to selling BEP and looking to buy back in later or initiate in AQN. Can you convince me otherwise?

Q: Hi,
I am looking for income and considering the above Brookfield companies. Would you please provide an overview of the different tax treatments of the income distributions. Are they best held in a registered or a non-registered account? Also, do you prefer one company over the other and if so why? Thank you

Q: Wondering about where to contribute and add to next . I have a TFSA and RSP self directed ( no unreg'd trading accounts )

Started investing in the TFSA 1st so my RSP is far behind it in $ levels . Now that I have contribution room , plus more on Jan 1 should i go with ..

Topping up EMA in my RSP , would be heaviest weighting if so with TD on top right now .
Topping up RY , NFI , MFC or NPI ( all being medium weight with TD and AQN on top )
Or adding BEP or SRU as new holding to either TFSA or RSP , leaning towards BEP myself .

Thanks

Q: I currently hold the above 3 utilities in equal weights in a well diversified portfolio and am considering adding Fortis or Emera. I'm looking for safety, dividends, and some growth. I would prefer to keep the count down to 3 stocks so could you please rank them for me?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I hold BNS, BEP.UN, FTS, KXS, PBH and TRP in my child's RESP account and it has been performing quite well. With another 8 years to go, should I just add to the existing positions or add something else?

Thanks.

Q: I own all three of these Brookfield companies BAM.A, BIP, and BEP at 1.23%, 0.86% and 1.08% weightings respectively (total 3.18%). I am a long term growth investor. From previous questions, I think it's okay to own all three correct and there is not much overlap. If I were to maintain a 4-5% weighting total in these companies, how would you weight each for maximum capital appreciation? Thanks!

Q: I already own BAM, RY, T, BOYD Income, and ZLU, but I'm looking for another lo -volatility dividend stock with some growth. What do you think of my adding NPI or BEP? Is there another choice you like?

Q: I own both of these companies. Looking to increase my exposure to renewable energy companies. Looking to the future, do you see any greater upside in share price for either one or should I just increase my investment in each one? Do you know of any other Canadian companies that are comparable or may even have more chance of increasing in value as we move forward. Both of these companies are held in my RRIF account. Thanks for your much respected advice.

Q: I owned both of these names in the past and lately BEP.UN is acting like a runaway train and BPY.UN is like stuck in the mud. If I want to re-enter either one of these two names at very this moment, which one would you recommend for a combined return package (i.e., growth and yield)? Thanks.
