The company owns a portfolio of 93 senior housing properties, operating an additional 12 for external owners. That real estate focused business and strong dividend yield makes it functionally equivalent to a REIT.

This REIT specializes in light industrial properties, mainly located in Canada but with a U.S. expansion strategy. It owns and operates a portfolio of 223 geographically diversified properties comprising approximately 20.2 million square feet of gross leasable area.

We recommended the stock in May 2023 at $15.46. The major attractions were a steady share price and a monthly dividend of $0.06 per share ($0.72 a year), which at the time generated a yield of 4.7%. In August 2024, the monthly dividend was raised to $0.07 ($0.84 a year), for a yield of 2.8% at the recent price of $29.75.

The rise in the share price reduced the yield, but those who bought at the time of our original recommendation have a capital gain of 86% to compensate.
