Investment Q&A

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

Q: Brookfield Office was taken in by Property Partners and now both have been taken private by Brookfield Asset Mgt.

You once wrote these shares are not the best choice as the office market was in difficult times....not unlike today as Covid Delta comes on.

If BAM has taken the real estate private, does the risk of default not get reduced? Making these prefs a reasonable buy below $25, Min Reset ( 5.10%) with a current yield above 5.10%?

How likely is it that Brookfield parent would let a Sub default on payments?

Q: Regarding your earlier response concerning rate reset preferred shares with a minimum reset of 5% (ALA.PR.I, BPO.PR.C, BPO.PR.E, ENB.PF.I, PPL.PR.K, BIP.PR.B), what is the tax implications of the Brookfield ones noted above? Is it foreign income? Are they treated as eligible dividends? Any withholding tax from a U.S. partnership that cannot be recovered would impact the advertised yields. Thanks!
