Q: Hello 5i Team

Caribbean Utilities (CUC) was listed in the blog article as companies paying a US$ denominated dividend.

1 – Since Caribbean Utilities is a Cayman Island domiciled company, is it correct that the dividends would NOT be eligible Canadian dividends and therefore NOT eligible for the dividend tax credit (i.e. would be treated similar as US domiciled companies and dividends treated as ordinary income).

2 – According to the CUC website, there is no withholding tax on the dividends, therefore would CUC be best held in a RRSP in conjunction with other US utility companies?

3- CUC is owned approximately 58.5 % by Fortis, why does this ownership percentage not appear on the company information page of the 5i Research?

4 – How does CUC compare / rank with other similar US listed utilities (same market size cap and/or electrical distribution market focused)?

Thank you

Q: Hello!

The last question on RPC Inc. was back on March 1 when it was trading at $6.45. Since then it has traded largely between $5 and $6 and is at $5.05 this morning.

Any change in your assessment of RPC Inc. since then? Oil (crude futures) has appreciated ~20% during the same period, for what that's worth.

Thanks as always,

Marc.

Q: I am drastically under invested in utilities. I presently hold the following - each is under a 1% weighting - AQN, ACO, BIPC, BEPC, BEP.UN, CU, and Fortis. Which would you sell? Which would you add to? All are in corporate non reg acct. Also want to increase my US and International exposure. Is there a reason not to do it in this sector?
Would appreciate US and International companies you favour. 5 year hold.
Thank you.

Q: I have stayed away from energy, except for ENB and TC, which are pipelines.
Do you think there is more upside in the O & G stocks. If so what would you suggest?
Also the same goes for basic materials. I am not interested in gold. What would be your picks for basic materials.
Thanks for your service, I would be lost without it.

Q: Thanks for the wonderful work from the team. I am holding BRLXF since past 2 years. Have a good 100% gain. However in past 6 months its down significant from about $40 to $30. Do you still see a good growth potential for the stock or would you recommend something else in this sector. Holding period is long 5+ and comfortable with risk and volatility.
Also any recommendation on any ETF or something else where one can park cash component of the Portfolio. I hold about 10% of portfolio in cash to be deployed at times when market is over sold .

Q: With so many analysts being quite bullish on the price of oil in the coming months I was wondering if you could give me a few Canadian O&G company names, besides CNQ and SU, that are more oily than gassy? Thank you.
