Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Peter & Team ;
Would appreciate your thoughts re longer term safety of distributions and financial strength of Artis Reit (AX.UN)(assuming we get increasing interest rates and ultimately a recession).
Average term to maturity of mortgages is only 4.4 years .
Would not consider buying until after rates move up some ,price goes down and yield goes up (willing to let train leave without us).

Q: Hi Team,
I've been contemplating taking a position in either H&R (HR.UN) or Artis REIT (AX.UN). Upon comparing the two based on fundamentals, Artis seems to win hands down. It's PE is cheaper, their ROE is higher, their dividend is higher, and their payout ratio is about 36%, as opposed to 114% for H&R.
One difference I did notice was that H&R's profitability was increasing at a much higher rate last few years.
Given the above, what other reasons might i want to consider in making a choice? I want to go with your favourite, H&R, but it's hard to argue with the numbers.
