Investment Q&A

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

Q: What do you make of the vitriol between activist investors and management of GRT.UN? As a shareholder I have to vote by June 13. I have never before received an email, as I did today, extolling why I should vote in favour of the activists and against management. That said I have enjoyed a fat DIV and a 37% share price increase in the four years since I first bought the stock so you know where my inclination lies!

Q: I took a half position in PRO REIT two months ago after the Globe breakout article and I’ve since read all 5i’s past commentary which I found encouraging.
It is appearing that this is a solid growing REIT with great dividend and monthly DRIP. The payout ratio is dropping, they continue to make accretive acquisitions and it won’t be long before their market cap is over 100 million attracting new investors.
Would now be a good time to add to the position after the latest offering? Any other insight or advice you can offer me on PRV is appreciated.

Q: My wife and I, retirees, are considering adding a real estate ETF to our portfolio, to hold in TFSAs. You commented that ZRE has an equal weighting in REITS and is more diversified than XRE (that has a 30% weighting in RioCan and H&R). ZRE has a slightly higher distribution % that appeals. My question is on safety of capital. I perceive Rio Can and H&R to be high quality REITs versus say an Artis or Cominar that have a higher weighting in XRE. Which of the two ETFs would you consider safer, or is it a coin toss between the two? Thank you for your comments

Q: Can you rank the stocks best to worst in your opinion. These are the stock s that are in my real estate sector which is 3% of my current portfolio. Would you add, swap or remove any of them? My portfolio holdings/thoughts are very similar to your BE Portfolio as I am a middle aged investor.

Q: Team 5i, would you kindly rank these 4 REITs? I just turned 64 and now want to focus more on Dividends and Asset Protection as opposed to Growth. I like the High Yields. Are they safe? Any other suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks as always!
