Q: The price gap between the two seems to vary from 2.50 to 3.50 in favour of BEPC.
Do you see that as a constant going forward as both move in lockstep or do you see any circumstances that would expand or contract the differential?
Thanks,

Terry

Q: Further to the active discussion of BEPC versus BEP.UN, I switched over to BEPC (from BEP.UN) in my registered account. I phoned TD-Waterhouse today to see if I could enroll my BEPC shares into a synthetic DRIP, and was told that BEP.UN is eligible, whereas BEPC is not. I am curious-- can you confirm this, and if this is indeed the case, why might that be? For those 5i subscribers who are interested in enrolling in a (brokerage) DRIP, this could be a relative advantage of BEP.UN, especially with a lower price (and higher yield) versus BEPC, one would be gradually adding to their position via a DRIP. Your thoughts on this situation?

Q: Good morning 5i,
With the European green deal and Biden's plans to attack climate change, should result in solar panel and wind power installations, and with so much money being allocated to infrastructure projects, which companies could benefit from these two investments by Governments..
Thanks you for your much appreciated help.

Q: I have over 1000 shares of BEP:US in my RIF. I am planning to convert the shares to BEPC:CA and take some shares out next year as part of my RIF annual withdrawal. You have predicted that BEPC shares should do better than the BEP:US shares and so far you prediction seems to be correct. (Yes it is early days). I am thinking of selling the BEP:US maybe in a week or two, thinking the demand from Canadian investors will have slackened by then. Am I being foolish trying to time the market?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi, I have have 152 shares of BEP.UN in my RSP. I understand I will get 1 share for every 4 I have so I would be getting 38 shares of BEPC. What would be my avg price for these new shares? Also if they are both sitting in my RSP, what should I do instead of holding both?? I know I can sell both and then buy BEPC in my margin account to get the dividend tax credit going forward or if I wanted to continue holding them in my RSP, is it best to just consolidate them into one? If so, which one? What would be the most efficient thing to do? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,

Lots of volatility before and after the split. Obviously people are trying to mimic BIPC game plan and it is not playing out the same way. What do you think the current fair price for BEPC and BEP.UN should be and what do you see the price being 12 months from now?

Q: I am holding BEP.UN and now BEPC also.
Will the BEPC dividend continue to be in U.S. $ ?
If the dividend on BEPC will be $0.4340 per share, payable Sept. 30 and the previous dividend on BEP.UN was $0.5425 on June 30, I would expect the future dividend on BEP.UN to drop, like the share price approx 25%, correct?
If so this seems to represent an overall dividend increase of about 6% in terms of total holdings, right?
