BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (BTB.UN $3.90)

Brompton Lifeco Split Corp. Class A Shares (LCS $10.13)
Q: Current thoughts on each of these for income ? Thank you.
5i Research Answer:
For LCS, we are jus tnot big fans of split corps. They can work in some situations but don't view them as overly necessary in most cases.
BTB is a commercial REIT operating in Canada with exposure to retail, industrial and office. Occupany is at 91% which is ok but maybe a bit low. Valuation at 11X earnings looks 'right' with not a whole lot of growth expected. For a distribution stream, we think it is fine but maybe not a name that jumps out at us either.
