Q: Hello,

I've done well on Colliers over the years, but I sold it on the decline a few weeks ago. I've been reading about the financial damage commercial real estate is expected to suffer from loss of rent, payment defaults, etc. Do you think the price drop is now baked in, or give it more time before considering a re-buy. Are there better opportunities to consider in the real estate sector? Thanks, Brad

Q: Hello 5i team,
I've held a good number of stocks you hold in your BE portfolio and I've managed to obtain a 14% compound annual total return in the last 11 years.
100% of my portfolio is in equities; I'll be shortly 77 years old and plan to reduce my equity exposure to 30%, with the above stocks in mind.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: When looking at these stocks in terms of management team, growth, potential, and outlook for 5-10 years+, how you would rank them in order starting with the best and why?

Q: Both down significantly and I own neither, but have been watching FSV and to a lesser degree, CIGI.

For exposure in real estate and seeking growth (not income) would you prefer one over the other, or are these close enough to equal as far as 5i is concerned? Any guesses as to which one bounces back faster?

Thx.

Q: Hi team,

What do you think of Colliers recent investment in Harrison Street? When I see the words 'transformational" in a headline, it gets my attention. ;)
What will it add to the top and bottom line...if anything?
It has dropped around 10% in the last few months and is about 25% off its highs.
Time to step in for a 1/3 position?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: In response to my question on 22 Feb you stated: "As far as corporate structure goes, CSH is the only 'official' REIT of this group." I should have been more clear in asking my question - I would like to know if FSV and CIGI can be considered to be part of my REIT sector allocation. Also, you stated " We like IIP.UN and CAR.UN for growth, but they cannot be considered cheap. DRG.UN has a better valuation with still decent potential." Are you using P/E as the yardstick for determining the valuation/cheapness of a REIT - I note that P/E for DRG.UN is 4.4 on TD website.

Q: Are FSV, CIGI, SIA, and CSH.UN considered to be REITS? I would like to increase my REIT exposure and I would appreciate recommendations on 2 or 3 that you believe to be reasonably priced now for growth rather than income. Do you consider ownership in property to be counted as part of an exposure to REITs?
