Q: What is your opinion of AP.UN in today's rising interest environment? I know some REITs will be hurt if interest rates rise a lot, but it seems to me that Allied might not be hit as hard as some because it has some unique properties which many tenants will still be happy to lease. I have held AP for many years, and am considering adding more.

Q: I would like to reduce the number of REITs in my portfolio but strike a nice balance in industrial, residential, commercial and perhaps care homes. My present holdings include CUF.UN, AP.UN, CAR.UN, GRT.UN, AAR.UN and SRU.UN. Which of these would you eliminate and what might you add?

Q: I'm holding Allied Properties and RioCan REITs and they make up about 8% of my portfolio. I like the income but I'd also like some growth. Are there better alternatives in this space? What are your thoughts on the relative amount I've allocated to REITs?

Q: I'm interest to add just one REIT to my portfolio and my choice is down to two: AP.UN or CAR.UN.

Dividends growth are nice but I'm more interested in "total return" (dividend + SP growth). In this regard, these two are close in their 5yr. returns, though CAR.UN is 10% better in their 1yr. returns (30% versus 20% approximately).

Which one do you prefer, or there are better ones I should consider instead?

Thanks.
