  • $25.51 P/E (TTM): 18.01X Cap: $4.54B

  • View Questions on SRU.UN

Q: Hello.

I own Smart Real Estate Investment Trust and I am wondering if I should hold or sell it. I had bought it, when it was called Calloway, since 2008. Dividends have been reinvested since my first purchase.

Since bricks and mortar retail stores are under pressure and interest rates are rising, should I sell SRU.UN or keep on holding it? I am interested in capital growth with some income, but if the prospects for SRU.UN are not good, I prefer to sell it even though it pays out a good dividend.

Thank you.
