Investment Q&A

Q: Would you consider NWH.UN a reasonable replacement for SIA as an income stock. I sold SIA early last week. Thanks

Q: Have held 1000 units of NWH.UN in non-RSP account since 2015 and the ROC is now about 1/3 of what I paid for it. Confused about ROC and how it helps me but I do understand the lowering of the cost base when units are disposed of. Faithfully track all ROC’s for all units held including SPB. I don’t depend on the income from the portfolio but I am in a 43 % marginal tax bracket as a retiree. So when do I dispose of NWH.UN?
Your Q&A database says that NWH.UN is small, has wide geo distribution and not much growth, the distribution is safe but amount is only so so. However, there is a lot of ROC. In this down market, my 2 other similar amount of REs are down also (CSH.UN and SIA, 35 and 44% respectively). Also, have similar amount of AD that is down 52%. I am about “even” on my gains and tax loss sales so far for 2020 taken early in January but could use some carry-back for last year’s gains. Thinking of a trade of selling NWH and AD and perhaps CSH and SIA, waiting the 30 days before buying AD back unless you could suggest a suitable alternative proxy for the interim (or just buy CAR.UN instead all in non-RSP). Or would best option be to let it simmer and revisit during tax loss season to see if any of these have sufficiently rebounded? Have I missed something? Maybe the best decisions taken are those decisions that did not have to be taken.

Q: Hi 5i Team
I hold these 3 REITS and would like to consolidate to one. Which would you advise to hold for long term considering recovery and dividend security?
Thanks

Q: Please comment on the first q results. It is the only REIT I own as I was attracted to its healthcare portfolio across a number of countries . The dividend was not cut which was nice to hear.

Q: Would you buy either one of these company's?

Q: Good afternoon, As a long-time Chartwell investor, of course I'm not pleased with its recent price decline. In our combined portfolio, I've allocated it in the healthcare sector. If I believe that the NWH.UN tenant base is more secure, would you be OK with a switch from Chartwell to Northwest Healthcare Properties, Do you concur with this thesis?

Thanks, and stay healthy.

Q: Regarding this company's net income vs. dividend payout, it doesn't seem to support it. From its free cash flow perspective, its also short of the dividend payout amount. Please comment.
Secondly, is there another healthcare REIT similar to this one with a good dividend that we can compare. Thank you.

Q: NWH.UN or BPY.UN which would you prefer? Buy now or wait, understanding the volatility risks?
Thanks for your service

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

If we end up in a longer (say 1-2 year recession) can you provide any comments as to which of the following could suffer most or least from vacancies or unpaid rent based on their tenants ?

FCR.UN, SRU.UN,NWH.UN,HR.UN and REI.UN

I guess I am also asking which one (s) appear to have been beaten up too much in relation to the others and why

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: 5i,

Your thoughts on 2019 year end results and do you think this is a good point to step in with 1/3 position. I like the div. and think perhaps with more the low interest rate enviromnment and recent and possibly ongoing Fed rate cuts we will be again, or continue to be, in a positive environment for REITS in general.

BTW thanks for all the help and vigilance during these volitile times.

Cheers!

Q: What is your opinion on NWH at this time?

Q: Hi,

In an otherwise well balanced portfolio, with a slight tilt towards growth I do hold the above REITs for income. As part of a new investing philosophy (to me) I'm aiming to reduce my equity positions from 33 to 23 over this year. Thus, I need to sell one of the above and re-invest the proceeds in the other three. With an eye towards income preservation (ie. sustainability of dividend) and growth, which of the above do I sell?

Cam.

Q: Hello,

Happy New Year! What are your thoughts on SIR corp. They seem to have an attractive dividend..but ..is this a red flag? or a good time to pick up a few..NWH.un had an attractive dividend a few years ago with over 10% and then had some decent capital gains..Would you consider this a similar opportunity? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: I am in my early 30’s. In terms of creating a strategy for buying and selling stocks shouldn’t I just always be buying stocks, even if the market goes down?

If I have a 30-year run way until I start withdrawing or using the funds wouldn’t it be best to just find great companies to average into?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Dave

Q: Hi Guys, what do you think of NORTHWEST HEALTH CARE Properties?

It pays 6% yield, but the share price just kind of stagnates.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello, if you had to buy either CSH.UN or NWH.UN today, which one of these two companies would you buy? Could you also compare their debt? I know one should not look at past performances, but over the last three years NWH.UN has done much better than CSH.UN. Would you say that NWH.UN is also indirectly related to health care? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Is now a good time to buy NWH.UN?

Q: Hi 5i, Could I please have your analysis of the bought deal and associated announcements from NWH.
Also, do you expect to see more selling from the primary shareholder over the next few years?
Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!

Q: Can you recommend a safer play in the Health Care space than tCOV and GUD? I'm invested in two health care ETFs (CSH and NWH) but I'm holding these for the dividends rather than growth.
Are there ETFs you think look promising that focus on the Health Care space? I have about one full position to add to the Health Care industry.
Thanks!

Q: I am seeking dividends. I have room to add a new REIT. Currently, hold CSH.UN and DIR.UN. What is the highest dividend paying REIT that you would be comfortable starting a new position with?
Thanks
