Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning 5i team,
I am 72, have no private pension, a diversified portfolio (50/50 asset mix RRIF included; no real estate holdings other than my residence), with a 10-year "quality" bond ladder in my RRIF to cover CRA withdrawals. I have funds available in my RRIF, and am considering an investment in REI for income and long-term capital appreciation. I would appreciate your thoughts, and any suggestions other than REI to achieve income and some growth in the RRIF.

Q: Good Evening
I own a Cominar bond maturing in 2022. I realize that DBRS has rated this company below investment grade (BBHigh).
Recently an analyst has commented that if you buy a high yield bond from Cominar " is like going to a casino and putting your money on the roulette wheel. It’s a terrible idea and makes no sense. The company has had to cut its distribution in the last 12 months."
Do you share the concerns of the above analyst? In your view, will Cominar have difficulties in meeting their obligations to the bondholders?
Would you advise holding or selling this bond?
As always, I appreciate your comments.

Q: Having sold Pure Industrial, I am looking at replacing it with industrial or perhaps office. (I already have enough retail and apartment exposure.) I have looked at Dream Industrial but am concerned with its small market cap. Also, the 25% ownership by Dream Office seems unusual and I wonder whether it is a red flag.
What are your top recommendations in the office and industrial segments?
In particular, what do you think of Granite REIT? Do you think that the outcome of the dissident shareholder dispute is positive?

Q: Hello,
I have owned Starwood Property Trust Inc (STWD) for a while, and it has been flat up to now. It provides a 9% yield.

Is this a buy, sell or hold stock? Especially since interest rates are rising. (I thought higher interest rates would benefit this company.) As I am seeing other stocks with better growth potential, I am wondering if this stock is worth holding onto.

Thank you for your help and for the service. Greatly appreciated.
