Q: Hi,
I saw a Morningstar article in January about BEP, mentioning this:

Big picture: Management announced plans to address the widening relative premium of BEPC to BEP shares. The firm launched an at-the-market equity program for BEPC shares, which it plans to use to repurchase shares of BEP, given the outsize relative premium.

YTD both BEP.UN and BIP.UN ouperformed their counterparts, BEPC and BIPC. Would it be the reason?

Do you have any knowledge of this Brookfield’ plan. Thanks.

Q: Can you give me an idea of the relative value of the two Brookfield Infrastructures? Seems like BIPC is somewhat expensive and buying focus should be on the units (bearing in mind the tax issues)? Thanks

Q: Any part of their business domiciled in the US gets taxed? Correct?

This has been the case with..."BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L P UNITS MLP NON-RES TAX WITHHELD "

This is not happening with my BEP.UN also in my TFSA. These were both purchased in a CAD account I'm likely missing something obvious?

I must have missed something. Thank You

Q: I’m a62 year old retired investor with an excellent DB Pension and I’m working on a supplemental cash flow with my TFSAs,I have held the above stocks for about 4 years all roughly 10-12K in value and have been set up as DRIPs
My question is could you recommend another 8-10 Cdn dividend stocks($ 100K of room) I would add to this account coming from another TFSA,these could possibly have 4-6 % capitol growth and 4-6% dividend yield and in 3 years I would go from a DRIP to monthly or quarterly cash payments,I am medium risk and the sectors would not matter ….Thanks Greg
