Investment Q&A

Q: I was reviewing INVH for income because portfolio is excessively growth oriented. INVH seemed to me well-positioned with good prospects for price appreciation. I also thought INVH could be a good inflation hedge. It seems I am wrong on all the above. The value of INVH shares is down by more than 12% over 6 months, and down by over 16% in the past year. Is something wrong with the business? Or do you attribute poor share performance to negative sentiment? The latter seems too simplistic a reason however. But if it really is just sentiment , do you expect investor attitudes to grow warmer towards boring income producing companies? Like many other investors, I continue to stay dangerously in love with growthy tech. I have been trying hard to shake off the addiction.

Is INVH a good candidate to offset a growth-oriented ‘portfolios? If not INVH, then do you have other suggestions for income ?
If not real estate , for income, under current conditions do you prefer mature slower growth dividend payers over REITs? ( I have no clue on bonds). I would appreciate suggestions on conservative income-producing securities that you like that are available at reasonable prices currently (US, Europe, UK). Prices to buy below at are *always* helpful .

Q: What are your thoughts concerning REITs in this current market? What would you suggest as a couple attractive options?
Thanks Ric.

Q: Is this a good time to buy?

Q: Thoughts on SBRA?

Q: Hi 5i. I'm looking for income not growth and noticed SGR Dividend is above 8%. Please comment on your opinion of the sustainability of the company and the dividend.

Thanks 5i guys.

Q: I have substantial units of DIR.UN and I am wondering when the $10.80 USD ($15.01 CD) take over by Morgan Properties would be reflected in the CDN price of the units?
As of this writing the price of DIR is only $12.29 CD?
I don't want to sell if the price will come up. Usually the acquired company's unit price goes up and the acquirer's goes down? Thoughts. Thanks. Bill

Q: Opinion please about Artis REIT which pays a steady distribution but not much else happens. Recent results not enlightening.


Thank you.

Q: I have self directed RRSP. It is made up of equities and fixed income investments. I have investments in 16 companies of which 10 are in the Income Model Portfolio. My goal for this account is to have safe reliable dividends with moderate capital appreciation. For the past year I have invested all dividends in money market account. The money market account now makes up 8% of my account. I am 66 years old and do not need the dividend income currently but I will be using as part of my regular income in 2 to 4 years. I plan to buy 2 companies from money market account funds. Would you recommend CSH.UN as part of my portfolio?

Q: What are your thoughts on REITS- like Minto


Thanks

Q: I know in the past you have liked CAR.un. But were you disappointed yet again in their earnings report last week? The stock seems dead in the water and the yield is nothing special (for a reit), Do you expect any meaningful increases in the dividend going forward? So why should I hold on to it?

Q: Hi, there was a question from Kevin on May 27th. Prices and valuations have changed since then. Could you please give an update to your answer? Thank you!

Q: Looking to open a position in one of the 2 listed companies or others if you have any to recommend. Long term investor with 0 exposure to the real estate sector in the portfolio yet.

Colliers growth projections and better valuation along with positive analysts ratings make it more attractive on the surface. However, I know that you have First Service in the growth portfolio, is there something that I'm missing as to why I should choose FSV before CIGI? Could you please give a breakdown between the two and the reasoning behind choosing one over the other?

Q: Hello 5i team, could you comment on the news about AIF. Were you expecting this end game? At this juncture, after selling a subsidiary last year? Who could be potential buyers? Brookfield? What range of price would you expect for a privatization? How long do you expect it will take to have news about a formal takeover over offer based on Tuesday’s news that the process has already begun? What is the probability that the current process initiated by the company will conclude on the sale of the company? Thank you for your collaboration

Q: Good day to you folks! I have been looking a this US stock along with CPT and was hoping you might provide some insight into the drop in price, is there some underlying problem in the rental business? Would either be a 'safe' investment based on their latest reporting and would you be able to offer suggestions that might be more attractive from a security perspective.
Appreciate all your EXCELLENT advice and support.
Ted.
