Focused on Canadian industrial warehouses. It's returned to its highs. However, its valuation has gotten high, so maybe take profits and add back later. There are better values in industrial spaces, though. Look at Granite REIT. Otherwise, nothing wrong with SMU.
(A Top Pick Feb 12/19, Up 32%) Scotiabank just announced a $13.75 target. Managers own about 10% of shares. There's good industrial rent growth in Toronto and Montreal. Vacancy rates are rock-bottom low.
Buy more? He can't answer that without knowing the overall portfolio, but also look at RIOCAN REIT in the North American industrial REIT space.
Dream Office REIT (D.UN-T) versus Summit Industrial REIT (SMU.UN-T)? In general, he really likes the industrial space, which is going to benefit the most from the improving US economy as industry picks up. Dream would have a little bit more growth opportunity while this one is fully leased, and has a longer lease term, so you won’t see as much turnover in the short term. You want turnover in the short term. However, this has a good yield. (See Top Picks.)
