D.UN vs DRG.UN D.UN isn't cheap at 19.2x. It's improved its asset base to higher quality, focusing on Toronto. Decent 6% growth. They've already had their big move though. DRG.UN has room to go, in contrast. It's a play on Germany and Holland. He see grow and slightly lower growth, but a much cheaper valuation than D.UN AT 14.5x. Similar balance sheets. Safe payout ratio. He prefers D.UN.

Dream Office vs. Dream Industrial REIT? Dream has been on a rollercoaster the last four years: overexposed to Alberta, sold Scotia Plaza, trying to diversify within Alberta; onerous management contracts to buy out. They're a work-in-progress with better days ahead. He would lean towards the Industrial REIT, but still expensive though it's outperformed Office REIT, but he just doesn't trust it. 

All the REITs are going through a bit of metamorphosis, and the industrial REITs are no different, particularly with the trade talks that have been going on. With the changing pattern of logistics of shipping and transport, a lot of these properties are in play, and a lot of investors have stepped back with the appearance of interest rates going up.

It has struggled.  They had quite a large portfolio in Alberta.  It recovered over the last 6 months.  He has never really liked this REIT.  It still does not have the greatest assets.  They cut their distribution and that caused the fall.  The yield is sustainable now, however.

Not a name for a yield investor even though it has an attractive yield, as it is going through a lot of transitions. He has warned about owning stocks through transition periods. A great company with great management, however when you start churning the amount of assets they have, they are selling billions of dollars of assets with a hope to redeploy them. Feels the dividend could be cut again. Dividend yield of 7.5%.

Focused on the office sector, and has a large Calgary and Edmonton portfolio. Recently sold $200 million of Calgary office but still have the Edmonton exposure. Also, sold their Kitchener/Waterloo exposure. They will continue to sell assets and focus on their Class A office, especially in the Toronto area. REITs in transition are always challenging. If you have held this for some time, there is no point in selling now. It has actually done quite well recently. If they cut the dividend, that will actually be very interesting, as you have a higher quality REIT with a more reasonable payout. Dividend yield of 7.6%.
