Q: Hi,

Thinking of dropping a 5% stake in a REIT`S. I see you hold ZRE in the income portfolio. There are two others that with US exposure(PHR) and CGR is a global reit.

Since I am overweight CND stocks does it make sense to go with either PHR or CGR.

This will be held in a LIRA account and I am aware there could be withholding taxes if I go with PHR or CGR.

Thoughts?

Thank you

Rino

Q: Would this portfolio held in RRIF have withholding tax on dividends. Does this look like a good portfolio?

Q: Hello, looking for emerging markets, ETFs you recommend ex China and ex India (as I already hold INDY and FXI). Also looking for non-Canadian REIT ETF recommendations (I hold XRE).

Thanks!

Thank you.

You'd recommend for a longterm hold.

Thank you for all the great advice!

Thank you

Q: Hi, Can I get your perspective on U.S. Real estate. I am looking at investing in the US REITS and was wondering if now is a good time. I am looking at the following companies as well as the VNQ . Do you think the US reits is a good area to look into seeing as the US economy seems to be doing well and interest rates are low. Thanks

Q: Could you recommend one or two quality American REITS or a REIT ETF principally investing in the States? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team.

I have positions in the three ETFs listed above representing financial and Canad/US real estate sectors. The ETFs are at a reasonable cost and provide good yields. What is 5i's opinion about these three ETFs.

Thanks

Iqbal

Q: I am thinking of adding a REIT ETF to my RRSP account and curious to know if there is a CDN ETF that holds U.S. properties that you could recommend?

Thank you,

Q: I'm thinking about adding some US real estate to the US portion of my portfolio as it should do well if inflation does well. What do you think of VNQ? And what percentage of my US holdings, relative to my US stocks would make sense? 20% and then 80% in stocks?

Q: I'm glad you agree with my conclusion of XRE vs US REITS. The heart of my question was on VNQ (my apology for messing up the symbol) and if not VNQ what can you recommend as a suitable US REIT ETF?
