Investment Q&A

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

Q: I wrote to you on Thursday, asking if you could recommend a couple of ETFs holding Chinese companies, one US and one CAD. I have not yet heard back from you. I also wonder if you could recommend one or two CAD REITs. I have none in my portfolio. Something that will continue to do well in a down economy is my preference.
Thank you.

I notice that when I wrote on Thursday, it said I had 65 questions, and now I have 64. But since my question was not answered, or at least, I was not notified that it was answered, this seems a bit odd.

Q: Good Morning,
Putting some cash to wok in my wife's TFSA, long term (20+) year hold. She is a buy and hold long term investor, looks at her portfolio once or twice a year type. Would you suggest ZRE or would you buy 3-4 REITS? I like the equal weighting of ZRE. It would be approx 10% weighting in her TFSA. Thanks again.

Q: In your opinion, what are the largest factors in preventing Sienna Senior Living from trading at higher multiples? Is there that much of a difference between the retirement home business and apartment reits? Apartment Reits seem to be trading at multiples in the 20s and above while, according to Scotia, SIA is trading at a 2019 FFO multiple of less than 14.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Good Day Team,
Presently I have no REITSs in my portfolio, so hoping to add some.
What is the best step to take?
Put equal amounts in all 6 stocks listed or put in priority order with certain percentage in each. I have $5000. to invest in REITs.
Secondly, what order would you put them in, from best to the lowest.
Lastly, is there any REIT that you would change or add that may be better.
Please use extra credits as needed.
Thank You,
John G.

Q: I've held Interrent since about $8 a share and I've bought more on the way up. My average cost is about $10.50 a share. What are your thoughts on Interrent today and in the future? Do you see them as an eventual takeover target by a larger player such as Boardwalk to help diversify their portfolio or CAP Reit to get even larger?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: To maintain monthly or quarterly income during this period of uncertainty, I am planning to invest in more stable entities - namely Real Estate in Canada. My thoughts are for Apartment Rental Housing and Seniors Housing. Would appreciate your choices for the most stable as well as yield. Thank you.

Q: REIT Strategy

REITS have had a good run recently, I recently purchased IIP and CAR.UN. Is there anything that I need to watch for in terms of what could possibly turn things negative? Outside of rising interest rates, what else could affect the REIT Sector. I have heard that new builds will not have rent control in Ontario, and there may be more competitive threats in the near future.

Thanks,
Raj

Q: I recently added a 1/2 position of InterRent to my TFSA. In your opinion could I expect more growth from WSP? For industrials I also hold a 4% position in SIS in the same account. I like to hold for 3+ years barring unfavorable fundamental changes. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Q: I own RIT for exposure to the Canadian REIT market. Please rank these four holdings as a long term hold in a growth portfolio. Also, I am considering adding one (or two) individual REITs to add a bit of up side to the general REIT market exposure of RIT. Would you advise this and, if so, which of these three, or any other, would you recommend?

Your thoughts on Killam Apartments developing new buildings and expanding into the Kitchener/ Waterloo area, thinking it might be a good long term hold with Laurier and U of Waterloo so close? Or do you have another REIT in your area you like? Thanks so much
