The BMO Equal Weight REITs Index (ZRE-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, showcasing a blend of cautious optimism and strategic maneuvers. One expert expresses a bullish outlook on the REIT space, suggesting that a choppy interest rate environment could remove the headwinds faced by REITs, which have underperformed recently. They emphasize the role of REITs in providing protection against persistent inflation, considering them a viable option for generating dividend income. However, another expert mentions that ZRE has hit its stop loss and recommends exiting the position while acknowledging the previous gains. Reinforcing the positive outlook, an additional review reiterates ZRE as a top pick based on the potential benefits of lower interest rates, suggesting an upward target while offering a respectable yield of 4.7%. Overall, the outlook varies, but there are indications of potential upside in a favorable interest rate scenario.

COMMENT

He owns this and will stay with it for at least this quarter but he is also looking at iShares Global Real Estate Fund (CGR-T) which has about 45% holdings in the US and about 30% in Asia.

WAIT

REITs. XRE-T and ZRE-T. Differences are the weightings. It's expensive and there is a 5% correction risk. Wait for that if you want to place more money. Sector should be okay from an interest rate perspective. Not a lot of value in the REITs at this point.

COMMENT

REITs will back off once the interest rates start to go higher. This is a good product. Likes that it is equal weight among the various REITs.

WEAK BUY
No problem with it. It is equal weight. No problems with liquidity. He sold recently because he wanted cash in anticipation of these markets. Trading close to 52 week high. It is interest rate sensitive and there are questions about bubbles in the market.
BUY
Equal Weight REITs Index ETF. The key word is that it is “equal weight” making it one of the more attractive products as you are spreading your risks. Yield of around 6%.
BUY
Equal Weight REIT ETF. Likes this and the S&P/TSX Capped REIT (XRE-T). The difference between the 2 is that the XRE is about 25% Riocan (REI.UN-T). Either one is good.
COMMENT
Equal Weight REITs Index. Equal weighting as a risk management tool is probably not too bad. Won’t grow as much as emerging market ETFs but will be more stable. Some people think real estate may take a bit of a downturn when there are rate hikes.
COMMENT
Equal Weight REITs Index ETF versus S&P/TSX Capped REIT (XRE-T)? 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%..
BUY
iShares S&P/TSX REIT ETF (XRE$-T) or BMO Equal Weight REITs Index ETF (ZRE-T)? Both good products. iShares are always cap weighted and BMO works on a basis of equal weighted products.
