Premium contentRIT holds Canadian real estate assets. We like that its holdings are not concentrated in only two assets. The average PE is 12x and it trades below book value. REITs are a good way to diversify your portfolio. The space has been under pressure for a while due to interest rate volatility, but with rate cuts anticipated going forward this is a good time to enter. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $14, looking to achieve $19 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 5.18%
