RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, symbol REI.UN-T, has garnered mixed reviews from experts. Some express caution towards Canadian REITs, particularly in the retail sector, given the current economic softness and declining consumer sentiment in Canada. Despite having a decent dividend yield of around 5% and high occupancy rates, concerns exist over high payout ratios limiting financial flexibility. Additionally, while some believe in the potential for growth with well-managed grocery-centered properties, others suggest a careful approach, favoring similar investment options in the U.S. The expertise suggests a thorough evaluation is necessary before proceeding, particularly given the current economic landscape.

HOLD

Continues to see the REIT sector is a good growth area. This one represents stable growth. (Management is targeting 5% a year.) Prefers Calloway (CWT.UN-T) which has about the same yield but represents a higher growth rate.

DON'T BUY

Looking at the spread between the yield and 10-year bonds, it is now around 2.1%, which is too thin to compensate you for the risks compared to government bonds. They are a wonderful operator with great real estate, but as interest rates go up the spread will get narrower.

BUY

A high-quality real estate investment trust. Could be a core holding in a portfolio. Their biggest challenge is continuing their growth because of the size. Feels they are handling this challenge well. Stable operations. A name you can just tuck away.

WAIT

Largest REIT in Canada. Focuses on big box outlets. Well-run company. The only negative is, it is so big, how do they become accretive. Now putting their money into green spaces to open shopping malls and going into managing outlets fort better margins. Has more room to go. Fairly priced at this time. He owns their bonds.

BUY

The biggest, most liquid REIT. Very well managed. Doing development deals with pension funds.

HOLD

The goliath in the REIT market, being about 25% of the whole REIT sector. Has performed fantastically well over the last 10/12 years. Exceptionally well managed. Since they are a mature company, you can't expect double digit or high single digit operation growth. Safe. Has a market perform rating on it.

BUY

A premier REIT. The largest REIT in Canada. Their history has been incredible. They don't overdo their distributions and retain about 10% of them. The question is, they are getting so large can they continue their growth.

HOLD

Dropped off when income trusts got hit. A quality company, so don't panic.

TOP PICK

Has been a very soft market, so you are going to get a very good move with good names when the market improves. Could drop a bit further. The biggest and most liquid. Yield of about 6.3%.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has grown through acquisition and internally. Has created a lot of growth in our economy. Would definetly purchase more on any pullback. He can't see the government hurting this sector.

TOP PICK

Not inexpensive these days, but really likes that it has an excellent track record of value creation in the past and feels this can be extended into the future. They are innovative in maximizing the values of their properties as well as developing properties through joint ventures with partners and generating fee income. A good core holding.

BUY

Have been strained from the point of view that they can't expand. Have sold some properties. Working with other development funds to grow their revenues with fee income. A group that manages themselves fairly well.

BUY

A stalwart in the retail real estate industry. Quality track record. A history of increased distributions. Probably get a bit more growth in the near term out of Calloway (CWT.UN-T).

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 10/05. Up 17.5%.) A leader in their industry. Excellent track record and very strong management team. Even though they are very large there is an opportunity to create more value through partnerships with institutions where they will generate management fees or other partnerships buying distressed/underperforming properties and fixing them up.

BUY

Retail space is a pretty steady space. The difficulty here is how do they grow when they are so big. Have been impressive. Have only about 1% organic growth. Can also grow 1% through joint ventures they have as well as 1% by development and repositioning of property.
