Investment Q&A

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

Q: I own BEP.UN, BAM.A, BIP.UN and BGI.UN. Clearly I like the company.
Currently I am looking to deploy new money into the "income component" of my portfolios and am looking for a global real estate investment. I like the international aspect and the dividend of BPY.UN; and seee this as a long term hold.
Are there other quality players out there whether listed in Canada or on the US exchanges that would be better choices?
Or would you endorse BPY.UN?
Thanks again for your helpful guidance.

Q: Selling home due to an overseas posting which will last 3-4 years. What do I do with our "HouseMoney" - (approximately 450k)during our time overseas. Banks GICs are so low at 1.65%, can get 2% with EQ bank online. Interests would be at least 29% taxed! Can't afford to risk our house money on equities as we will have to buy back into housing market upon our return to Canada and will likely retire then as well.

Q: Since Canadian Reits have to distribute out their capital gains [and hence NOT reinvest in new properties] and with declining ROC components.....Is it time to re-invest in Canadian dividend stocks for those of us who depend on a rising stream of income.

Our reits face unfair competition from pension funds, which can reinvest capital gains tax free.

I have been in Cdn Reits since the late 1990's. Is it time to 'kiss then good bye'?

Thanks.

Q: Further to th question asked by Mayur. The new Chairman came on board as a director with four others in Jan last year, after Oxford Park Group disclosed a 5% in EXE. A change of leadership was also disclosed in Jan 2016 when the company stated the then current chairman Mr Hutzel would step down after the AGM this year. The downgrade is something I missed but would love to understand the rationale behind it as EXE seems to be finally getting it's house in order. I know 5i prefers CSH and SIA in this industry but do you have any insight into the downgrade.

Q: With Milestone sale now going through, do you think the mutual funds that held it, would be looking at other US real estate funds like Tricon, Morguard Reit, Pure Multi Reit, and out of these 3 how would you rate them for buys at this time.
Thank you so much
