RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (REI.UN-T) has garnered mixed reviews from industry experts. Some acknowledge the appeal of a 5% dividend yield and strong occupancy rates, suggesting a relatively low-risk investment in an environment where REITs can offer consistent returns. However, there are concerns about the broader economic context in Canada, particularly in the retail sector, where softness in the economy and high payout ratios limit flexibility. While some experts recommend caution and suggest looking towards other options, like U.S. competitors, others highlight the management's focus on grocery-centered properties and potential growth avenues. Despite worries about economic conditions, there is a belief that the distribution remains safe and growth prospects are promising due to strategic investments.

HOLD
REITs had quite a correction through the summer and have started to recover but are still reasonably valued. This one is getting a little expensive relative to some of the others. A great long-term holding.
TOP PICK
Hasn't performed that well this year, but it is the biggest and most liquid. If the sector has been overdone and there is going to be any recovery, it should work out well. Have quite a bit of growth going forward. Low debt.
PARTIAL BUY
Probably one of your best bets for a long-term hold in this sector. Trades near its NAV and throws off free cash flow yield that gives a bit of a premium to the 10-year bond yield. Good core name. Could start building your position at this price.
HOLD
REITs have been beaten up pretty badly in the last few months. Partly because of interest-rate worries and partly because they had a great run and got ahead of themselves. Good long-term hold. 5.76% yield.
TOP PICK
Retail oriented. Strong management team. Looking for upside from some growth opportunities from lease renewals and their developing pipeline. Potential takeout candidate.
TOP PICK
5.72% yield. Built a huge property management company over the last 10 years. Properties are about to be rolled over with rents that can be increased $6-$12 per square foot. Have a green development that they get an 8%-10% return. Expects US retail companies will be coming in looking for space to rent.
BUY
Feels the NAV is in the $24-$25 range. Have several initiatives that they continue to launch, the latest being the intensification fund, where they will increase the usage of their existing real estate portfolio for future acquisitions. Likes this.
BUY
The premier real estate company for big box developments. Most of the clients are department stores, grocery stores, etc. Management is fantastic. Biggest problem is size. They are so large that it is hard for them to grow. Have put on a program to do more green development giving them higher margins.
HOLD
Flag ship bell weather reit in Canada. Steady as she goes.
DON'T BUY
He uses risk controls which includes balance sheet solvency. All the REITs fail.
COMMENT
The largest outdoor shopping mall developer. They have economy of scale. The problem is, they're so big, it is hard to add value. They are now doing far more green development, which gives them higher cap rates.
TOP PICK
Has under performed for quite awhile. Good earnings behind it. Takeout candidate.
HOLD
The flagship REIT in Canada, primarily focused on the big 6 population areas. He thinks there is more growth in Calloway
COMMENT
Large real estate, shopping malls development. Stable, great company.
HOLD
The benchmark of real estate trusts in Canada. Have the better properties and good tenants, which is why they are priced at a premium to their peers.
