Q: Hi Ryan and Peter,
My question is of a general nature and concerns a problem many seniors are having with portfolio construction. I'm 70 years old, have a defined benefit pension which, along with my wife's defined plan, covers our monthly commitments. We are underinvested in the fixed income part of our portfolio but because of the lack of returns on bonds and GIC'S, are hesitant to commit a large portion of our savings to this sector.
As with many seniors who have their monthly expenses covered by pensions, we need guidance as to what percentage of our funds should be in fixed income. What percentage do you think is appropriate and could you suggest a few specific investments.
If you believe, as I do, we would be better off investing in Canadian Blue Chip companies that offer relatively safe growing dividends, could you suggest several such companies.

Thank you in advance for your much appreciated guidance.

Q: Can I hold VUN in my TFSA without tax implications or do I need to hold it in my non registered account?

Q: Update

Q: Please comment which type of account (non-registered, RRSP or TFSA) would be best suited to hold Brookfield Business Partners). From the prospectus the distribution will be approximately $0.25 per annum (1 %). I currently hold the other Brookfield LP entities (BEP, BIP and BPY) so I am familiar with the issues associated with T-5013 on my tax return.

Please comment whether it's better to hold the TSE listed units (BBU-UN) in Canadian dollars or the NYSE listed units in US dollars.

Thank you for the excellent service.
