He doesn't like passive investing in REITs, because an ETF REIT can hold laggards like office REITs. He prefers an actively managed one like RIT.

PARTIAL BUY
First asset has a number of covered calls. Likes them. A well-established company that does well.
BUY
VRE vs. XRE Ignore both and buy RIT. It has a history of outperforming the Canadian REIT index handily, actively managed by his company.
BUY
A long-term hold? A great long-term hold as a building block for a diversified portfolio. A great, actively managed ETF with the right sector mix. The only worry is that interest rate-sensitives assets like REITs have had a great run-up and are now overvalued. Pays a good 4% dividend. A long-term hold.

RIT 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%
