Q: I currently don't have any REITs in my income portfolio but am now considering adding a couple. I was considering the above 4 but really want to add only 2 names. Which would you consider or would you suggest something else? Looking for reasonable income with an eye on preserving capital during rising interest rates.

Q: BPY has been range bound for 4 years - between $24-$29. At $24.70 today, it is essentially at the same level as in Jan'15. Would appreciate your views on why you think this is happening? Do you see any signs of corporate changes on the horizon that would be positive for price appreciation? Is it financial performance? An issue of management capability? Of Street expectation management? The rising interest rate outlook is a relatively recent negative. I had expected that with the Brookfield reputation for management excellence, a DY of ~6.5% and an annualized DGR of >5% we would see a 5% to 10% annual share price appreciation over the long term. Thanks.

Q: In an effort to replicate a REIT ETF I hold the following REITs
which in total compromise 12 percent of my portfolio.
BPY/DIR/HR/NVU/SIA.
I am thinking of adding CHP which would increase the percentage held to 13 percent. Do you think that this would provide reasonable exposure to the various segments within the REIT sector or would you suggest something else.
Thank you for considering my question.

Q: Hi,
My question is: With the swamp that seems to be filling and not draining in the US, and the reported near-deal between BPY.UN/BAM.A (one of their biggest investors is the Qatar Investment Authority) and the Kushners in New York for 666 Fifth Ave., do you see any heightened risks owning BAM.A/BPY.UN? If so, what, if any action should an investor be considering?
Many thanks, Michael
