The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF (XRE-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, with concerns prevailing regarding the state of the Canadian real estate market. Uncertainties surrounding the economy, real estate conditions, and immigration policies have raised red flags for potential investors. Although the fund offers a decent yield of 4.87%, experts caution that capital is at risk, and the potential for growth in this sector may be limited. Some investment advisors recommend looking towards U.S. real estate alternatives, especially in logistics, data centers, storage, and warehouses. For those seeking capital appreciation, a low-cost base and strategic planning for tax implications on selling are critical considerations, potentially steering investors towards other financial vehicles such as banks or bank-covered call ETFs for favorable exposure to real estate.

COMMENT
S&P/TSX Capped REIT. Likes this product. There are comments that the real estate market is going to cool off, which could mean REITs will not be doing as well as before. If you want a real estate REIT, this is the one he would recommend. Well diversified with larger cap names and fairly stable.
BUY
Likes the REIT sector. If you are a beginning investor, you would want to look at something broader based, but this is ok. Has more of Riocan than the BMO product.
COMMENT
S&P/TSX Capped REIT ETF. As a general rule he is a bit concerned about real estate investment trusts right now. Doesn’t like real estate prospects in Canada going forward. Could be flat for the next little while.
BUY
S&P/TSX Capped REIT is the simple REIT ETF that he would choose. Has a lot of liquidity, which is important and has options on it, which is useful.
HOLD
S&P/TSX Capped REIT. Feels the distribution is sustainable.
COMMENT
Equal Weight REITs Index ETF (ZRE-T) versus S&P/TSX Capped REIT? The decision on REITs is to how much you like RioCan (REI.UN-T) because the latter is about 25% of this company while the former is about 7%.
COMMENT
Cdn REIT ETF. One of the problems with this ETF is that RioCan (REI.UN-T) and H&R (HR.UN-T) are now 40% of the weighting. He is continuing to hold this but taking his exposure down from 5% to 3% to Buy the US REITs.
BUY
S&P/TSX Capped REIT ETF. Has lagged because it has a full range of REITs and some have really badly under performed. A good way for the small investor to get risk diversification.
COMMENT
S&P/TSX Capped REIT ETF. Generally he likes this one. If you want to go Canadian real estate this would be the way to go.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
S&P/TSX Capped REIT ETF. Very attractive yield of 5.25%. Has been a bit overbought. Would prefer it at $13, which is closer to the 50 day moving average.
BUY
REIT’s. Has done incredibly well this year and may go sideways but he doesn't see it going down. This is a core position for him. Gives 1) great current yield, 2) exposure to real estate across a number of real estate categories and 3) has a lot of liquidity. Can see it in the upper teens eventually.
TOP PICK
S&P/TSX REIT ETF (XRE-T). Good products. Equal weighted products.
BUY
Real estate in Canada, despite the rate hike today, will flat line for the rest of the year, but as long as the yields are there, you are ok.
BUY
S&P/TSX REIT ETF. Likes real estate. Has 5% in Cdn real estate and has been looking at the US sector.
COMMENT
S&P/TSX REIT ETF. REITs are one of the best sources of income. Using this one, you get the good and the bad. Some volatility but relatively safe.
