Q: Hello 5i Team,
Between RioCan and SmartCentres, which would you prefer for an income portfolio? SRU pays a larger dividend, but is there any additional risk with it compared to RioCan?
How do the payout ratios and balance sheets compare?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Morning Troops. Years ago I bought EXE at around $7.00 and recently sold at $20.00, thinking that it wouldn't be able to match the huge run-up it had in 2025. Turns out I may have been wrong and I would like to get back into the senior care space. My question is; of the main players in the field, which one would you favour now and where do you see the industry going in the short to medium term. Cheers.

Q: Retirement Homes: for a person looking at this segment of the market and expecting growth to accelerate in the years, could you provide a list of 3 companies that you consider best of breed and positioned for aggressive growth and earnings in the years.

Can you also provide 2 ETF s that might be a better way to invest in this area.

Thanks

Q: Hello,
I own both CAR.UN and DIR.UN, am growing tired of watching CAR's share price steadily decline over the past 5 years.
Could you suggest a replacement for CAR.UN with a better growth profile, decent yield, not necessarily residential?
Thanks as always.

Q: Ref : Patrick question on Monday:
“Do you have any thoughts on CUBE? I don’t have a lot of REIT exposure in my portfolio (just a small position in DIR.UN and some ARE at a large loss).”

Since ARE:CA has been a great performer in the last 5 years, I believe he is referring to ARE:US for real estate.
