Investment Q&A

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

Q: In 5iresearch data info the BAM has no info about its dividend and dividend frequency payments . Do you have this information on these and it payout ratio? I understand that this stock has been relatively recently created from the reorganization of the Brookfield Asset Management but is the data I am asking available for investors? I have looked on line for such data and appears to be available. Thank you . Miroslaw

Q: With the high yield of BAM I was planning to hold it in my cash account, yet today in a response to Jim you recommend it be held in a registered account. I am curious about your rationale for that recommendation. Do you know if the distribution will be a pure dividend? Thank you as always.

Q: I recall once seeing a link to an explainer on all of the different Brookfield offerings. Can you please repost this. Is it up to date with the new BAM / BN thing?

Ideally hoping to see a tabulated summary including:
name of holding
nature of business
yield
ideal account type to hold in for optimal tax efficiency
closest competitor names

Which offering would you recommend for green energy income investment in an unregistered CDN$ account? Any comments on when is a good time to buy given recent structural changes and interest rate changes.

Thanks,

Jim

Q: Could the weakness in Brookfield shares be attributable to them funding $250 million of Musk's purchase of Twitter which he has stated "has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy"? New shares are being offered at $54.20 so Brookfield may have to cough up more too.

Apparently it's Brookfield Growth that stands to lose the money - is this an arm of BN or BAM?

Q: I note you recently indicated BNRE is only convertible into BN. I have only had BNRE for a few months. Hoped it would maybe pop 10-15% in 4-6 months. What are the advantages/disadvantages if converting BNRE to BN and would you recommend someone do that now or is there an advantage to wait until sometime next year (or not convert at all) ?

Q: Selling BN:US for Tax Loss. Please suggest a proxy - I plan to buy it back after 30 business days.

Q: In several of your responses you have stated that "BN will be more growth oriented, BAM more income-oriented. " You also state "We like BAM at the current price, with an attractive and secure dividend." However, TD Webbroker shows BAM with no dividend whereas BN shows a yield of 1.77%. Am I missing something here? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Add me to the list of dazed and confused .

I thought the new spin out was BAM , will distribute 90% of earnings from “asset management” and be “asset light”

How can their significant holdings in BIP and BEP be under BAM?

What does BN own ? Looking forward to that report you are working on .

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have been following the Questions and have been a keen reader of the opaque notices and statements from Brookfield . I own units in all the subsidiaries mentioned above too. So I am trying to keep position size of each in mind when I look at the BN holding corp and allocate it to the various sectors, Months ago, before the split you had answered a question confirming that the BAM.A sectoral breakout was 39% financial, 35% RE, 16% industrial, 10% energy?? Does this breakout still apply to BN and/or BAM or is there a new breakout given the spinout of the new corporation.

Q: Sell or hold BAM after the spin off. If Sell just dump back into BN or move to another name?

Bonus question since I have lots to burm.... I assume the spin off value becomes a taxable event? BN has the same share number and book as my original BAM.A shares and the shares of new BAM.CDN granted would be a capital gain for 2022 at their book value?
