Brookfield Asset Management Inc (A) (BAM.A.TO)

The chart is not demonstrating enthusiasm. A pullback may come back to $48 as an entry and sees resistance at $53. He likes the fundamentals. Yield 1.5%.

Well run group of companies. One of the largest asset managers in the world. Had a great long-term track record. Great balance sheet. Fee revenue continues to grow.

Have $280-billion under management in 4 areas: property, renewables, infrastructure and private equity. They generate stable, long-term cash flow with a strong balance sheet to buy assets opportunistically. She likes their renewable side, because that business will grow. There's a lot of runway here. (Analysts' price target $60.39)

(A Past Top Pick on Feb.5, 2018, Up 4.5%) A stock that moves in a steady rise, not a dramatic one. It's a steady eddy. The chart won't look like a hockey stick, but will move up gradually.

He owns this in a few of his funds and really likes the company. (1) They are one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world. (2) They are a Canadian success story with a global impact. (3) They participate in asset classes that are characterized by a predictable cash flow, such as real estate, infrastructure, power, and recently business services. (4) They have diversified into casinos and a wide range of other businesses. (5) They earn a variety of types of fees. The stock has sold off about 10% in 2018, largely because of the rising interest rate environment. People are worried that rising rates might be a headwind, for example for their real estate business. He thinks this creates a good opportunity to pick the shares up for less. This is good for a buy and hold for 5 to 10 years.

He sees this as a great Canadian success story. He sees this as a cornerstone for his portfolio, but felt it had become too expensive. He bought BlackRock instead when it was cheap.

(A Top Pick Jan 8/18, Down 7.34%) Money might flow into this name later this year. He will own it through the summer. The downside is limited. He still thinks it is a buy.

It is a carry forward from January. It is on trend and broke after a little consolidation. It is a gentle slope, which he likes right now. (Analysts’ target: $60.39).

They are somewhat levered to lower rates. But they are growing globally and have brand recognition. Their Q4 beat by 8% and they raised their dividend by 7%. They are trading at an 18% discount. He models 12% growth. This is a really good name. You could buy it here or use a put.

Don't expect huge returns. Their goal is investing in ports, airport, roads and tolls with a 6-7% return. Dividend growing at 7% annually and should continue.

They raised their dividend 7.1%. People are concerned that this is an yield play. Cheaper than it ought to be. 18% discount to their estimated NAV. Traditionally at these levels it is a good buy. Buy on a pullback.

Is the dividend safe? He has a lot of respect for the management team and feels the dividend is safe. It has executed well, however, he is careful of the risk of adding more at this price.

Owning Brookfield Infrastructure Partners versus other Brookfield entities. He feels owning the parent (BAM.A-T) is better than the entities as this is where the fees accrue to and where the key decision makers have their capital. (Analysts’ price target is $58.79 )

They're in a segment of the market seeing huge growth in infrastructure. They have cash to deploy. They can compound earnings. They're planning to acquire GGP, a REIT, which can build a huge amount of apartments on huge amounts of land. They will probably get GGP cheap.

Run by Management that is incredible. They eat their own cooking, Management has a significant position in the stock. Company that owns the four publicly traded companies. Real Assets and infrastructure. 17% compound total return going back 20 years. (Analysts’ price target is $ 58.86)
