The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF (XRE-T) is attracting scrutiny from investors due to the prevailing uncertainties in the Canadian real estate market, including economic factors and immigration policies. While the ETF offers a decent yield of 4.87%, concerns have been raised regarding capital risk and the overall growth potential of the investment. One expert suggests shifting focus to U.S. REITs that specialize in logistics, data centers, storage, and warehouses for potentially better returns. Another review indicates satisfaction with the yield exceeding 5%, yet points out the challenges of achieving capital appreciation and dealing with tax implications for selling. For investors looking for real estate exposure, alternative options like banks or covered call ETFs are mentioned to provide superior growth opportunities.

ZEB

BUY

He isn’t terribly worried about the real estate market at the moment. Quarterly distribution.

DON'T BUY

REIT ETF. True REITs won't have to convert but those operating as a business will have to be dropped from the index. Doesn't like the uncertainty.

BUY

REIT ETF. 6%-7% yield. Likes this space. Good area if you want yields.

BUY

S&P/TSX REIT ETF or REITs? When he is making investments, he likes liquidity and this one has that. Very good yield.

COMMENT

REIT ETF. Not a bad idea to have some money in real estate. This is capped at 25% and because one REIT is over this, they will have to rebalance. If you own and it has gone up by half or so, now is the time to start trimming.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Yield is decent. They raised a lot of money in the last segment of the real estate market and they have that money to spend right now.

COMMENT

iShares S&P/TSX REIT ETF. Gives you a handful of Canadian REIT companies that give tax efficient income.

COMMENT

ETF based on the REIT Index, which holds 11 REITs. Most of them are relatively high quality. She has an issue with the concentration of REITs. If you only have a small allocation, this is fine but if REITs are a bigger portion of your portfolio, she would be more selective.

BUY

Likes REITs. Have under performed the market. Pay high dividend yields. As economy improves, these will do will.

WEAK BUY

When you get into double inverse shorts they are a short term trading vehicle (1 to 3 months). This one is not a bad place to be if you want to be in real estate.

COMMENT

S&P/TSX REIT ETF versus individual REITs. This one gives you a basket of REITs so if you are not confident or up to speed on the REIT area and you don't want to make a bet on 2 or 3 REITs, this is the next best thing. Hope that the economy turns around quickly, otherwise they flat line.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Have a preferred tax position that 2011 will not disturb. Good yields. Likes real estate going forward.

BUY

(Marked Call Minute.) REITs. Likes this one. Thinks it has bottomed.

COMMENT

Convenient way to participate in Canadian REITs. Largely exempt from the tax changeover in 2011.

DON'T BUY

You are buying the good with the no-so-good. You are better to go and pick the strong members of the group.
