Summary
- On Nov. 11 Brookfield announced it would be creating a Canadian c-Corp version of BEP that will trade on both the TSE and NYSE under the ticker BEPC.
- The reason for this is to give Brookfield investors an alternative to its LPs for anyone who doesn't like K-1 tax forms.
- US investors will face a 15% tax withholding in taxable accounts, due to a tax treaty between the US and Canada. Retirement accounts (like IRAs and 401Ks) have no withholding.
- This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, iREIT on Alpha. Get started today »

On Sept. 6 we published our last article on BEP, and it has beaten the broader market by 400% since then.
Many investors might assume that utilities are overvalued, and they'd be right. But assuming that BEP is now also overvalued would be incorrect because it began its epic rally from a 48% discount to 2019's fair value.
Today, there are three reasons that Brookfield Renewable remains the hands-down best utility you can buy for 2020, and far beyond. That includes not just a great recession-resistant asset base, quality management, and a still reasonable valuation, but also a realistic potential to deliver 15% CAGR total returns over the next five years.
