Q: I have held RUF for a few years, bought mainly for income with the view that the apartment space should be somewhat stable (?). With the buyout offer last spring I sold half and bought SRU (which has done well). Now that RUF has no offers, the price took a dive and the yield is back up. I am considering selling SRU and putting the funds back into RUF. These are held in an RSP, so taxes are not an issue. Could you comment on the following for both RUF and SRU:
1) the payout percentage
2) the debt levels and how they compare to their peers
3) the price to NAV
I like that SRU has a large Walmart base as well as some of their proposals to reduce retail exposure - but execution is a factor, and it will take time. Based on my "stable income" orientation would you suggest selling SRU and buying back RUF, or just sit tight? Or something else?
Thank-you
