Q: Could I please have your team's opinion on two REIT Exchange Traded Funds for the fixed income side of my portfolio, in addition to bonds and GIC's. I'm considering XRE and/or ZRE. XRE is the Blackrock iShares ETF weighted more heavily in the larger REITS, whereas ZRE is the Bank of Montreal ETF more equally weighted across the sector. Which approach would you prefer? And if you don't consider REITS "fixed income", how would you add real estate to the fixed income mix? Would our home (fully paid) be considered "fixed income" real estate and, therefore, should it's value be added to our "holdings" as a percentage of the fixed income component? Thank you.

Q: Hi there, TD WebBroker just initiated coverage of FAM Reit (F.UN) with a Buy recommendation. Although it is small still, its share price has fallen since its IPO, and is externally managed by Huntingdon, it yields over 8% and seems to have a decent payout ratio of around 80%. What do you think of this one now and would you consider it a Buy at this level? How would FAM compare to say, AAR.UN?

Q: Have $10,000 to invest in our joint account. We're heavy in banks, oil, pipelines, telecom, etc. and I'd like a suggestion for some REITS to check out. I'm looking for good income with safety primarily, but some growth would be nice too. In other words, I want the moon! Cheers, Ted

Q: Hi Peter,

I'm looking for some mortgage funds similar to Timbercreek's offerings (MTG and TMC). I'm more interested in the higher risk (higher yield) opportunities such as TMC. Could you point out a couple of other names that I could take a look at?

Q: Peter thank you for your service.I am a higher risk investor,that has learned(painfully)to adapt my investment style to a more barbell approach.I expect the market to have a correction in 2014,what are your thoughts on REITS with U.S. exposure?
My thoughts are that they have limited downside,offer dividend,favourable currency exposure!
Would this not offer downside protection,but upside if correction does not occur this year.
Do you have any better ideas?
