Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am retired, living on dividend income and have the following REITS in my portfolio in equal amounts and making up 10% of my portfolio. I am invested for the average yield of 6.6% the REITS generate.
Do any of the REITS have a dividend payout ratio near or over 100% or negative growth that I should be worried about?
Can you rate the REITS from best to worst?
I noted that you just sold the REIT ETF in the income portfolio and purchased CSH.UN. Based on your response, I may sell a couple REITS and replace with CRH.UN and NWH.UN for company growth that 5i is forecasting in the healthcare REIT space.

Q: I have read your answers to questions about WIR.U which trades on TSE. You state that it pays dividends in US$ which is correct, but you say that it trades in CF. In fact, it trades in US$ and is more efficiently bought in a US$ account.

If you have any updates on the merits of this company which specialises in warehouse and distribution centres on the US, I would like to hear them.
