Horizons Equal Weight Canada REIT Index ETF (HCRE) is consistently highlighted by multiple experts as a top pick for investors seeking a diversified exposure to Canadian real estate investment trusts (REITs). The ETF is characterized by its equal weighting of holdings, which helps mitigate risks associated with reliance on individual stocks. One of the standout features of HCRE is its tax efficiency; it rolls distributions back into the fund rather than providing immediate cash flow, making it particularly suitable for non-registered accounts, particularly for investors looking to minimize their tax liability. Experts also express optimism about the sector benefiting from lower interest rates in the near future, which can enhance the performance of REITs. Price targets suggested in the reviews indicate a strong potential for capital appreciation, making HCRE an attractive investment option for those bullish on the Canadian real estate market without the burden of high management fees.

We again reiterate HCRE, an equal weighted Canadian REIT by Global X as a TOP PICK.  This ETF is tax efficient for non-registered accounts as it rolls distributions into the fund for capital gains instead.  We recommend maintaining the stop at $28.00, looking to achieve $37.00 -- upside potential over 16%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

HCRE is a low-MER ETF holding REITs in an equal weighted well diversified portfolio.  It is highly tax efficient as it does not offer distributions, but instead swaps it back into the fund for additional upside and is taxed as a capital gain -- ideal for holding in non-registered accounts.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $25.50, looking to achieve $33.00 -- upside potential over 17%.  Yield 0%

COMMENT
HCRE is a tax efficient way to have an equal weight exposure to REITs in Canada. BMO has ZRE.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 07/20, Down 22%) REITs outperformed into early March at which point he exited. There will be a time when REITs will come back.
TOP PICK
The REIT sector does well from late February until September. We saw a breakout take place this year. It is a good transition to move into this sector.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 09/19, Up 10%) It's still going up. Interest rates are not rising, so it helps REITs. REIT's seasonality is May 6-Sept.20 , so he exited. The chart has been up since May, a solid trend.
COMMENT
He likes equal weight. A swap is when they own a money market type of investment whose return they swap for some sort of index. You should not have to worry about it too much. In the phase of the cycle where interest rates are cut, REITs do well. When people start losing jobs and you go into recession then REITs do not do well. Look at XRE-T to see how it plays out as you approach a recession.
TOP PICK
REITs are in a good time right now. Rates are pausing or perhaps heading down but the economy has not fallen apart and this is when the REITs do well. It is a hiding place.
