There are actually quite a few REITs now listed in the Singapore stock exchange. Have been thinking of investing a bit of my money again since there is some spare cash sitting around. There are really so many options to choose from: industrial, retail, office, hospitality, etc etc.
I am having a difficult time deciding what to buy. Have been thinking that maybe I should get a handful of Saizen REIT, Sabana REIT and Starhill Global REIT. What do you all think?

Yes agreed but be careful who is the backer. Will the backer still around if there is a credit crunch during bear market or any catastrophe? Sometimes we have to sacrifice yield a little for sleeping well at night. Usually the present gearing of the Reits tell you whether what Mr. Market think of the backers. If you must, have a "mixture" Caveat Emptor. IMHO.

Hoped this helps.
How much is your spare? Mid or high XX% of your total capital?
ReplyDeleteHigh yield growth stocks are currently not available yet. Be patient.
Even though REITS are pretty crowded now, it has the potential to get even more crowded. Wait until you see average yield goes down from the top to middle 5-6%, thats the time when REITS get really crowded.
ReplyDeleteJust my thoughts.
Hi B,
ReplyDeleteCare to explain what it means by getting really crowded?
