Are BIPC and BAM publically traded partnerships (PTP)
1T infrastructure bill finally passed, what to buy now???

I’m in the same boat but I think I may go with the BIPC because of the K1 issue. Delaying and extending tax returns is no good for me since I own a corporation as well.
OKLO is interesting but literally doesn't have any revenues. And the stock keeps going up as if it does. Turning into a meme stock. There are other ways to play the energy side, BN/BIPC, or CCJ, CEG, or an ETF like NUKZ.
BIP is structured as a partnership and you will get a K-1 for owning it. BIPC is the C-corp version of the same thing.
" Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund" Non-traded/interval fund "In order to provide limited liquidity to shareholders, the Fund intends, but is not obligated, to conduct quarterly tender offers for up to 5.0% of its outstanding Shares at the applicable net asset value (NAV) as of the applicable valuation date.2" "Or recommendations related to Brookfield Infrastructure in general - good or bad?" I haven't owned Brookfield entities in a while (and given how many there are at this point, an organization chart would probably look like the GE org chart from that scene in "30 Rock" - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECAf-kjXYAARAm7.jpg) but if I did I'd probably just go with BN and get exposure that way rather than the (many) spin offs. If you do go with BIPC, make sure BIPC and not BIP.
BIPC gives you solid infra exposure without the PE lockup or high fees. Unless you’re chasing niche access or yield premium, public shares feel like the cleaner play.
CEG, Duke, AEP, BIPC, NEE and CWEN.A. I'm starting with these
I'm not a financial advisor, but you may want to do some research on BIPC and other Brookfield companies before investing. Make sure to consider your own financial goals and risk tolerance before making any decisions.
BEPC BIPC Good dividends, exposure outside US. Googl, AMZN, ADSK, SOFI, next month or after I stack some more money, because I have long time horizon and it looks likely they will be on sale
BIPC has been poverty long term.
> If you buy the popular narrative Trump will ease regulations on the financial sector, alternate asset managers would thrive under him. I’m more of the mind that abandoning regulation will favor goliaths and oligopolies who will abuse their scale to stifle competition. But as you indicate, I don’t really worry about that impacting BIPC too significantly. > I think solar would have to prove it's economically sustainable without preferential grid treatment or tax credits I’m satisfied it’s economically viable and know that it’s just a matter of time for opponents to catch up. Solar is free unlimited electricity from the sun. It’s most abundant where it’s most needed. At the same time, electricity is expensive and is in sharply, permanently rising demand. No matter what oil prices have done, I bet nobody here has seen their electric rates gone down. Solar is like a device that generates something valuable and requires $0 input cost. It’s like a wheel that spins air into gold or a car that doesn’t need fuel. The only issue then becomes “how much should someone pay for such a device?” Considering it generates something of value for free, even a high price tag is tempting. And that price drops every day. The opponents use deflection “it doesn’t work at night”. Who cares? Would you refuse a gold-producing widget because it only worked half the time? And with storage options being more prevalent (and necessary, given our blown out grid) that just helps the business case of solar. I’m confident that solar has a bright future even with lesser preferential grid policy or tax credits. Whether 5 year payback becomes 8 or 10 year payback, there’s still a guaranteed payback.
If you buy the popular narrative Trump will ease regulations on the financial sector, alternate asset managers would thrive under him. Even though BIPC owns few domestic assets for policies to directly affect - and it manages plenty of business Trump would approve of - it may enjoy less stringent tax policies and barriers to acquisitions. I think solar would have to prove it's economically sustainable without preferential grid treatment or tax credits. Advocates would have to spin a different narrative for its place within American energy infrastructure instead of being the *ne plus ultra* of the energy transition.
Interesting input. I take from that that there’s no need to worry BIPC and related will suffer rapid devaluations such as we’ve seen with other things, like solar. Even a slowdown would be presumable visible in progress and someone would have time to consider taking measures.
It wouldn't hurt BIPC too much: with the exception of the Cyxtera acquisition back in January, their assets are mostly international in scope. If you look back at Musk's business past, he's definitely a stickler for cutting managerial and staffing bloat. I suspect he would be whispering behind the scenes to reverse much of the expansion in bureaucratic scope under Biden. It's hard for me to see him advocating to spend less on infrastructure rollout: it is one of the few reliable outlets of government spending that generates both plentiful jobs and positive return on initial investment. The U.S. has a severe problem with decaying infrastructure and a discontent populace who find the job market too unaccommodating. Sacrificing either would belie the populist rhetoric of Trump's campaign. I believe "efficiency" will target administrative and staff headcount on the federal + state level, and perhaps clean energy subsidies.
I’ve certainly enjoyed the rise in BIPC but I have to start thinking about if it could run out of steam if the current thrust for infrastructure changes with the next administration. What do you think the future holds for infrastructure, especially as we hear there’s supposed an “efficiency czar” looking to cut trillions?
It was the first one that came to mind: it came in second place between OWL when I was choosing an alternate asset manager for the portfolio. BIPC and BBU are pretty good choices too.
BN is the primary corporation that has various subsidiaries under its umbrella like BEP, BIPC, BBU, etc. BAM is one of those subsidies, a pure-play asset manager that was spun off from BN in 2022.
\- Do you agree with the basic premise that cheap renewable energy will drive massive change to energy grids around the world? *IMO it will. It is already happening. But the last time I looked into battery storage most/all the companies were private. That may have changed. The one thing for sure is that the private companies that go public will not pay a decent dividend for a long while...which makes them a non-starter for me.* \- What are some of the best ways of gaining exposure to this theme? *Siemens, Ibredola \[sp\], and possible BIPC. Last time I looked more alternative energy companies were foreign owned. You might also want to look into AES and other big utes. They have large alternative energy making facilities and want to store their energy so it can be parceled out at a later time not immeadiately.* \- What are you thoughts on investing in Chinese stock in general? *Never never invest in Russia & China (obvious reasons) or Greece or Italy (unstable governments). Stick with boring democracies - less chance of politics cutting against you.* *Now is a good time to start browsing around to find likely stocks in alternative energy. If has been villanized enough that their prices are coming down.*
One is a limited partnership and one is a corporation. They're equity in the exact same company. There are different tax treatments of your dividend for $BIP than for $BIPC
How does that affect $BIPC?
It's the same exposure. BIPC is set up for Canadian tax reasons (it's my understanding they treat LPs differently in Canada), whereas BIP is set up based on US taxation. Please don't take that as end all advice. Definitely confirm. But if you're looking to get exposure to their strategy, I understand the stocks to be equivalent in nature.
I could only find $BIPC on my broker. What's the difference ?
Don't buy BIP, buy BIPC. BIP has a K1 (annoying tax form). /u/SignificantMight8327
From my watchlist: BIPC, CPB, CAG, HPQ, LEVI, CCI I just clicked on names on my watchlist and look at how they're trading. I could do that with the other 20 names and find 10-15 more.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.... as a TRITON shareholder of a small amount of shares (360), I need to complete a Voluntary CA Election in the next couple days as Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. announced a definitive agreement for Triton to be acquired in a cash and stock transaction valuing the Company's common equity at approximately $4.7 billion and reflecting a total enterprise value of approximately $13.3 billion. Shareholders are being provided the option to elect to receive either cash, stock or a combination of both in exchange for their shares. The terms of the offer are as follows (subject to proration): Option 1 - Take no action Option 2 - Tender shares for cash election: receive cash, at a rate to be determined, per share tendered and accepted Option 3 - Tender shares for stock election: receive BIPC shares, at a rate to be determined, per share tendered and accepted Option 4 - Tender shares for mix election: receive both cash and stock, at a rate to be determined, per share tendered and accepted Since my strategy is to hold for the long-term, does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on which option to select? If not, then I guess the pro / cons of any of the options. Thanks in advance!
*UPDATED* VOO 30%, APPL 5%, MSFT 5%, NKE 5%, BEPC 5%, BIPC 5%, MSOS 5%, CHPT 10%, STEM 10%, LTHM 10%, PLTR 10%. I know there's some companies that don't make any profit right now but I want to stack up on them as they are projected to become profitable. Let me know if I'm making a bad mistake.
No shit they come out of share price, but their industries and businesses are a lot more stable than “growth stocks.” Had the beautiful opportunity of buying BIPC, BA, IRM, BX, GD, and a few others at depressed prices. I can at least trust the fundamentals of those companies more so than I can trust the umbrella of growth.
Thanks! That's a really good idea. I'll contact my broker and ask if DRIP is available for BIPC.
From my understanding, it is better to own BIPC over BIP.UN in non-registered accounts due to the eligibility of the dividend tax credit (I am a Canadian investor). However, why does BIPC not offer a DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan) but BIP.UN does? \[BIP.UN\](https://bip.brookfield.com/bip/stock-distributions/faqs): "Does Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. have a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) or a direct stock purchase plan? Information on our DRIP is available here." \[BIPC\](https://bip.brookfield.com/bipc/stock-dividends/faqs): "Does Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation have a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) or a direct stock purchase plan? We do not offer a dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock purchase plan."
BIP is but BIPC is not. All of the partnerships also have a ticker as a corporation. BEP and BEPC also. So you’re right BIPC and BAM are just normal stocks.
Yes. The banks let me buy my beach home in Huntington Beach, CA since I only have 10k portfolio. Since that’s how that works. Total Doofus. I’m 30 years old. All money in equities is the only way to invest. BAM, BIPC, O, BEPC, OXY, BX, SGU, and AMD.
I'd say moderate redo. Too much tech and things like PLTR and SOFI may have short squeezes if growth continues to bounce but I think it'll be a long time before they get back to prior highs. SQ I'd drop. Maybe ASML instead of QCOM. TMO or DHR instead of JNJ. I think AirBNB was a beneficiary during the pandemic, but lately it feels like more and more complaints about high fees, bad experiences, etc - works for larger groups, but with rising cleaning fees and other hassles I have to wonder if people go back to hotels in a lot of cases. I would not own BIP as that is a partnership. If you want to own it I'd say own the C corp version, BIPC.
TMUS Puts. TTT Calls. OXY Puts, but with the contingent we see oil having catalysts that would signify slowing down. Go long and average down on TWLO, WBD, SYF, ALLY, BIPC, and a few others. If SOMEONE can make money inversing my stupid ass, please make it lol
I can scrape together about $300 in a Roth IRA; right now it's in $BIPC. I'm seriously considering going all in on $BBBY
Anyone know why BIPC fell 30% a few days ago? I cant find a reason why
I would buy Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) they are going on a 3:2 split on 6/10 They have infrastructure business all over the world amongst other things... this is a long term play and by the way they also pay dividends...
Any BIP/BIPC holders here? Was thinking of adding a utilities holding during this inflationary time and this one has caught my eye. BIPC is the move if I decide to buy one as they pay out a dividend rather than a distribution so I wouldn’t get an extra form (K1) around tax season, correct? Just wanna make sure I’m understanding correctly.
It seems like it might be a while before FLNC will be profitable (as is probably the case for many in this sector). How about an established infrastructure company like BIPC that is building out its renewable energy arm?
For me, the big ones are COST, UPS, ISRG, CAT, TMO, DHR….and more recently added BIPC, BEPC and MA. Those first names have been long holds…great companies in areas that seem to have real tailwinds: health, infrastructure, water, logistics. They have done better than a good deal the tech in my portfolio anyway.
I can't find anything either, and don't own any FAT, but I had something similar happen with BIP and BEP. There was a special dividend where they paid in shares of BIPC and BEPC respectively.
In my other account I have AFRM, ABNB, MAGT, some LEAPS on Cloudlfare, LEAPS on Teck resources that I got my teeth kicked in on this week, but still believe in, shares of CGX that I wrote long dated calls on back during the AMC jump when Cineplex was $13 for 3.50 per contract that I’ve been trying to BTC for 0.25. The rest of it is boring stuff like FTS, VEQT, BIPC. I’m usually pretty particular about my entry points. I’ve missed some run ups waiting too long. Currently my watch list is BMBL, SOFI, YETI,
IFRA and PAVE for ETFs and if you like better yield but little more risk BUI and UTF are great CEFs. I also recommend you check out BAM and BIPC.
No, i mean a infrastructure fund etf like IGF and IFRA or maybe BAM, BIP, or BIPC since your Canadian.
CME (CME). 4 quarterly dividends + 1 annual variable. Blackstone (BX). Brookfield Infrastructure Corp (corporate version - BIPC, NOT the MLP version - BIP), Watsco (WSO), Paychex (PAYX)
I was interested in buying BIP for my Roth IRA but noticed that there's also BIPC. I thought it'd be similar to GOOG/GOOGL but they seem to have different market caps, dividends, revenues, etc. What's the difference between the two and is there any reason I should buy BIPC over BIP?
Anyone know alternatives or competitors for BIP? I know bipc but it's too expensive for me. I'm currently long BIP but don't like the k-1 for taxes and am not long enough to justify the added expense of a CPA doing my taxes. I would go long BIPC in a pullback but my price target would be pretty low. Thanks!
Are we talking about the same stock? BIPC...Brookfield Infrastructure. 6 months ago stock was $55. It's now $75?
BIPC has the strangest candlestick pattern I have ever seen. Also lost half its value in six months. Is something coming up?
BIPC OLN Not really "pop-off" worthy, but solid.
CAT, XOM, FAST, NUE, BIPC, NSC, BRK. All of these are probably better as shares and a slow multi year burn. Most will jump at Bill signing except BRK.A/B
Look at BIPC. I bought in on 2/26 and 3/4 and am up 14%. I bought this along with Berkshire Hathaway about the same time to be a couple of dividend-rich/boring stocks to temper my somewhat tech heavy holdings and it's now the best gainer in my portfolio lol. I don't expect these kind of returns to continue, but...
Not OP but it’s the same stock with a different corporate structure. BIPC is greatly preferable in a taxable account and likely to trade at a premium to BIP which is a partnership.
Mind expanding on why you'd recommend BIPC over BIP for infrastructure growth from Biden's plan?
IMO, I think either you invest in infrastructure via DE and other things used to build infrastructure or you invest in BIPC (I'd recommend BIPC - the CCorp version - over BIP, the MLP version) if you believe that investors like Brookfield are going to be allowed to buy/operate more and more public infrastructure.
>I think you can own a BIPC and some selected REITs where you think there's a growth opportunity in the years ahead. Thanks for your reply! Regarding REITs, should we be buying reits now when everyone is worried about inflation and rising interest rates? And the rising 10 year bond yield also threatens reits, no?
"infrastructure like BIP" BIPC is a better choice, imo - not BIP. C corp version (BIPC) instead of MLP version (BIP.) "When choosing dividend stocks" Dividend growth, imo. I want something where there is some level of growth and income - I don't want something where its a 10% yield but the stock price slowly erodes over time, or its a 5% yield but a mediocre/stagnant/etc company. CME I like; that was something that I owned a while back and recently added again as part of a move to diversify away from aggressive growth. That offers 4 quarterly dividends + variable annual dividend (CME keeps a certain amount of cash, every year cash above that level is swept to shareholders as a dividend - variable so some years might be 0) every year. Very good company, considerable moat - it has run up lately with the move in rates, but something to consider if it cools off a bit in the coming days. ICE as well. CME has also raised its quarterly dividend a number of times. "utilities (eg telecom)" Telecom (T/VZ/etc) has never interested me. Certain utilities (NEE, for example) appeal. "Any recommendation for non-US consumer staple stocks? " L'Oreal. Seven and I (7/11 parent co) hasn't done well for a while but could potentially be interesting if they get more into delivery. Couche Tard in Canada is a well-run company and I think their ability to participate in growth themes is a little underappreciated. Diageo. Unilever.

Just FYI: If you're going to invest in BIP or BEP, invest in BIPC or BEPC instead; those are structured as c corps, whereas BIP/BEP are structured as master limited partnerships. Also, BAM owns significant stakes in both and is not an MLP.
FYI for folks in the US, BIPC is better than BIP because it does not have a K1 form that you have to deal with at tax time.
BIPC, formerly BIP. When I was growing up, higher yielding dividends were made out to be this extremely rare, difficult to get payment, even in certain finance classes. Once I opened up a broke account, I wanted a dividend stock and thus BIP was my first non-penny stock/moonshoot buy. I’ve been holding this stock for almost three years, and very proud of its growth.
