Q: Good morning 5I team,
Since REITs are included in the Financial Sector, I'm guessing there is no reason to have to hold any, as long as I have a good sector percentage. Is that correct? It seems that many people hold them primarily for income. Since I have about 8 years to retirement, and a decent pension at that time, I tend to focus on growth.
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi,
HR.un and REI.un have been great over the years, however, several of my Reits did not make the Reits list(question May 9). I hold about 1,000 shares of AAR.un, AX.un, DIR.un, MR.un, MRG.un, NWH.un, SMU.un, and SOT.un. Are there any in my list that you would be concerned with for the long term? As a retired, income seeker my Reit holdings have always been high and currently represents 14% of my portfolio.

Q: REITs have dropped significantly in the past few days even though rate rises do not appear imminent. Is this because the ten year US treasuries are now 2.20% and possibly rising as investors sell to transition into equities? The drop doesn't make sense otherwise and REIT yields are very attractive.
Would you provide three non-REIT names for income and safety?
Thank you.

Q: Good evening Peter,

I thought I read somewhere last year that REITS will become Mandatory for all Canadian Money manager / Mutual funds to hold within their portfolios.

If so, when is this required and should this not have a positive impact on the Reit sector ?

Also, if true what Reits do you think will benefit ?

Thank you Peter...

Q: Could I have your opinion on investing in FNM.UN as opposed to buying a REIT ETF or a few, individual REITs. The fund has a good yield, has been around for just over 2 years and is presently at a 6% discount to NAV. How would it compare to something like CAR.UN or Boardwalk?
