Q: Hi there,

For real estate exposure in the US i have held AMT for 10 years at about a 2% position. With the 5G rollout i beleive these tower services will become significantly more profitable as they sell 'extra space on the existing infrastructure. Your thoughts on this theme and if you were going to add would you add to AMT or CCI. AMT has performed better but has a lower yield. As well, CCI had lower earnings last quarter while AMTs earnings have been growing consistently. I am approaching retirement (next 5 years) so i like a decent dividend with a bit of growth. Thanks for all you do!

Q: Hi Ryan
I have been trying to formulate an investment thesis regarding the impending roll out of 5G and am wondering if 5i has developed any ideas as how to invest in this technology. Noticed a few commentators have indicated that the best way would not necessarily be with the telcos but rather with the "picks and shovels" providers like chip makers or contract manufacturers.

Also, read an interesting piece the other day on SA regarding CCI in the US positioning itself for 5G.

Thanks for your insight

Brad

Q: Hi team,

I am looking for your best ideas (small / medium / large cap) to invest in the ongoing and ever-increasing move to 5G. Telcos will be spending billions over next decade. And ultimately benefitting of course. But which companies will benefit from that, or government's (?) spending? Mostly interested in Canadian-based companies. I know AMT and CCI are the big players in US. Any chance they get a foothold in Canada? Does small company like Baylin have unique expertise to deliver in this space? Are they well-managed and well-known enough? Anyone else?

Thanks for advice.

Q: What are your thoughts on Crown Castle International (CCI in the US) as a long term stable force in a portfolio? I'm looking for stability and some growth in Communications in the US. Would this also double as a REIT?

In terms of its competition, how would you rank CCI against American Tower and SBA Communications? ... and here's the naive part of the question, but ... do these tower companies hold footing in Canada as well, or what would be the equivalent for a Canadian holding?

Thanks!
