Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Saw your suggestion for CPD, XHY, ZRE for dividend income and wondered what would drive each of these securities price performance given that their overall return will be a mixture of price appreciation/depreciation as well as yield and each has a significantly different price history. I'm not planning to blend as I think you should know what drives each investment. I also saw your two notes on CPD so what I think I need is an overview of the relevant price drivers please. Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
I have no REIT's in my portfolio and would like to add one that does not have Western Canada exposure. I have a long-term horizon of 7-10 years and am ok with small-cap risk. But is an 8% dividend yield crazy and unsustainable? Would you recommend one of these two REIT's? THX.

Q: I realize these are all in different sectors but,all have 8% plus dividends; for an RSP account. Diversification not an issue.Which in your view do you like the best and has the best up side as well as maintaining its dividend, mid to long term.

Q: Regarding my question earlier about 2 REIT's to diversify existing position in AX.un, I probably should have pointed out preference for market cap and mimimum current yield. I like (and anticipated) your recommendation of Chartwell however IIP.un sacrifices too much current yield and market cap security to make up for potential growth for me. Would CAR.un fit nicely given my desire for a larger market cap? Is H&R too much like AX.un? thx!

Q: I have sold most of my REIT's I own except for three.

HR.UN 2.96 % weighting (removed the Drip)
AX.UN 6.11 % weighting (Enrolled in Drip)
CSH.UN 8.28% weighting (Enrolled in Drip)

I am a little high in Chartwell I think and maybe Artis too. My overall REIT exposure is most likely way to high. My question is do I sell one entirely, trim back on the high one or remove the Drip and start to take cash. I really like these three REIT's and I am bias towards them and not sure what to do

Your thoughts?

Q: Pure Multi Family REIT declared Q2 results which looked pretty good. Also disposed off a property and bought an AA property (as per announcement yesterday). They are doing all the right things. They have lagged Milestone Apartments REIT which has taken off in the last month or two.

What is your opinion on Pure Family REIT ? You had mentioned it was expensive some time back compared to MST.UN. Does this opinion still stand ?

and out of the three companies which would you prefer for income and some growth. Thank You.
