In isolation BPY.UN-T is a great name. It trades at a large discount to NAV and pays a yield of 6%. He looks at other real estate stocks and he would favour owning the parent BAM-N. He prefers the parent as they collect fees from all the other entities. Now is a good time to own BPY.UN-T due to the discount to NAV and this lower interest rate environment. He would be cautious that they do hold a lot of retail shopping centres, which may require capital investment in the future.
They get the management fees from their sub- companies, and they are planning to grow those companies at a dramatic rate. If they do, you are going to see a big, big move up over time. What is not being properly valued in the stock are the management fees and the carried interest. Wonderful business. Big, big backlog of projects.
BPY has been stuck and he thinks it will continue. They are high quality and are cheap in terms of value. However, it suffers from its relationship with the parent. Their assets are office in London and shopping malls. He thinks though when they privatized assets to the parent they did not pay fair market value. He thinks you should own BAM instead as they collect fees instead of paying fees like BPY.
