As of Dec 11, 2019. Market Open.
Inovalis (INO.UN-T) or Dream Global (DRG.UN-T)? There is probably too much duplication to own both. Management has done a very, very good job since the IPO. They’ve grown through acquisition and have diversified. They own an institutional quality portfolio, and thinks they have an opportunity to grow in continental Europe. Their assets are primarily in Germany. Instead of buying Canadian names that have exposure to Europe, he is actually going directly into Europe and buying some names.
It is a decent name if you own it. It is tough to switch out of it. He has preferred names including a top pick today. Management promised to diversify the portfolio and they did a good job of that. The payout ratio is high so this is why he is cautious on it. There are risks in the devaluation of the Euro. He does not think they will have to cut the dividend.
Real estate properties in Germany, mostly office. Has performed very well, but wouldn’t rush in right now. Thinks there are some leasing opportunities that may provide a bit of a pullback in the stock. One of their core tenants is looking to be putting back some space to them, and the market is waiting for this. That will happen in the 3rd quarter.
