Q: Would you please rank these 12 REITs for future growth prospects, where 10 is the best prospects & 1 the worst. Also would please indicate what REIT assets contribute to future growth & those REIT assets that have very little future growth. Thanks ... Cal

Q: Would you consider apartment REITs as good inflation hedges? Rental rates and property values should presumably increase in an inflationary environment. However, the currently low dividend yields on these REITs, I assume, could cause some weakness in a rising interest rate world. What's the right way to look at these? Thank you.

Q: In my TFSA I am looking to move it to a more growth oriented stance. In keeping with this I have added ENGH and LSPD already. In what order would you sell the above (other than LSPD and ENGH)? I could sell off whole positions or just reduce the holdings either is fine. Any reasoning behind the ranking would be useful too.

Q: It was mentioned on a recent CityTv show that 2021 residential real estate would be hot in British Columbia (of course) and New-Brunswick(!). I own some residential Reits (IIP/CAR/Minto), but not likely focused in these areas. Do you know where I could find the beakdown of business by provinces/sectors (Retail/Industrial/..) for Canadian Reits? Or which Reits operate in NB (KMP may be?) And BC ? Thanks.

Q: I am considering the above 7 REITs and would like to concentrate on the best 4-5 for long term in RRSP; based on current value and growth potential. I am concerned that CRT is trading at too high a valuation (P/B higher than others). Could you please tell us where each of the 7 REITs are trading, relative to their NAV (for example DIR's may be trading at a 10-per-cent discount to NAV). Can you please rank all 7 REITs? Thank you!!
PS: Is it hard to calculate trading price relative to NAV?

Q: Hello 5i,

Our portfolio has 1% in each of CAR.UN, IIP.UN, and KMP.UN. Of the three IIP has seen a major correction. Is there a specific reason for the weakness in IIP compared to the other two? Would you be adding to the above positions now or wait until tax season is over?

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hello 5i Team
Thank you for the new update on Interrent REIT.
Reviewing the new report on Interrent REIT, the Peer Relative Evaluation section compares Interrent against ten REITs, however only two of the ten REITs (CAR.UN & NVU.UN) are in the residential apartment sector.
1 - Please comment on how companies are selected for the Peer Relative Evaluation section.
2 - Would it be more appropriate to compare Interrent against the major residential apartment REITs (BEI.UN, CAR.UN, KMP.UN, MI.UN, MRG.UN, NVU.UN) than to the Office, Industrial, Retail REIT section?
3 - Also given NVU.UN is subject to a takeover, is this a reasonable comparison?
Thanks

Q: I am in my early 30’s. In terms of creating a strategy for buying and selling stocks shouldn’t I just always be buying stocks, even if the market goes down?

If I have a 30-year run way until I start withdrawing or using the funds wouldn’t it be best to just find great companies to average into?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Dave

Q: Hi 5i, I do not have any real estate exposure in my portfolio or own any real estate assets. My portfolio includes a range of stocks such as SHOP, MELI, PYPL, SQ as well as BNS, DIS and BIP:UN, CNR as some examples.
It seems like there could be a lot of future growth in Atlantic Canada and I am wondering about KMP.UN. I have a small portfolio so would appreciate any suggestions you have for some real estate exposure with growth. Thank you!

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: 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.
