Q: Hello 5i,
I have owned CSH.UN for about 18 months, am getting frustrated by the lack of growth.
Am after a REIT for income in RRIF. Am considering SIA & GRT.UN as possible replacements. Will be a long time hold, am after a decent yield with some growth possibilities. What are your thoughts including any other alternatives in the space.
Thanks as always for your advice !

Q: Good Day Team,
Presently I have no REITSs in my portfolio, so hoping to add some.
What is the best step to take?
Put equal amounts in all 6 stocks listed or put in priority order with certain percentage in each. I have $5000. to invest in REITs.
Secondly, what order would you put them in, from best to the lowest.
Lastly, is there any REIT that you would change or add that may be better.
Please use extra credits as needed.
Thank You,
John G.

Q: Just to round out my portfolio a little I hold 2 REITs - CAR.UN and GRT.UN. It seems the whole REIT sector has been uneventful this year. With these two I'm above water but other than collecting the monthly payouts, there have been no growth.

Do you think the rate cut in the U.S. should/will give this sector a boost? I'm thinking about flipping these two REITs for something that represents a better balance between yield and growth (suggestion if any). Your recommendations/opinions are much welcomed. Thanks.

Q: Considering the recent market volatility and dovish tone from central banks, I would like to increase my exposure to REITs sector for some consistent income. Among the different REIT sectors, I am more lean towards to the Industrial sector, and currently looking to deploy some money into one of the names mentioned above. Any preference? Thanks. Tim

Q: Good Afternoon,
I am a very diversified investor. having stock in almost every sector and not over invested in each sector. In the sector of real estate I am only 5% invested and I am looking to add one stock out the 5 that I have mentioned. I understand that BRE is more of a service company in real estate but it is still class in the real estate sector. Can you recommend me which one of the 5 should I invest in?
Thank You.

Paul

Q: Greetings 51 Team,
A number of questions recently on REITs. Not surprising; although they tend to be boring, they have (as a group) held up nicely on both a 1 yr and 5 yr basis and offer a good yield.
However, 'all REITs are not created equal' and 5i has recently recommended DRG, HPMP, GRT, and HR. I own AP, SRU as well as XRE and have not seen a lot of discussion on those names.
Plse explain why 5i would recommend one REIT, and in particular the four above, over another and, if you care to comment on AP and SRU.
TY

Q: Hi 5i team :
reading the analyst's report I noted their reluctancy to get too optimistic about Kevan Gorrie turning around the company for a better value. Their report cited execution risks due to a hot competitive industrial market. Kevan was the CEO of Pure Industrial before blackstone bought it. Is execution risk due to overpaying for land and labour or when buying smaller companies ? or something else ? Thanks
