ReplyDeletehow i wish it was a bigger amount. still far from any retirement.
DeleteQuite an amount of interests in the banks. Looks like you have higher potentials :)
ReplyDeleteyup. i am looking for good opportunities.
DeleteHi, was looking into REITS as well as it seems to be a good income-yielding instrument. However, after reading a column by Teh Hooi Ling titled "THE REIT MYTH BUSTED", I don't feel very confident because of the rights issues that they can call.
ReplyDeleteHow is it been for you?
Kenneth, so far it has been good for me. a good dividend generator. Pricing of the REIT and the whether the dividend is sustainable are important.
DeleteHow do you see REITs as a good buy?
DeleteI'm still studying valuation methods to see if it's worth.
Mainly though, with my limited understanding, I understand retail REITs seem to be good as Singapore's retail scene is probably the only sector which is still growing comfortably. I think health REITs are also good because of the ageing population. Do you think that way?
Thank you for the advice!
Hi Kenneth, sorry for the late reply. Have been busy with the year ending. Similar to your thinking, I like the retail and health care REIT more. However, i still try my best to screen for better REITs -
Delete1) High Distribution Yield (>5%)
2) Consistent Growth in Distribution
3) Low Gearing Ratio (<40%)
4) REIT is fairly valued (usually buy those below is NAV value)
These are some of my consideration. I can't give advise and I am not qualify to do so. Hope it helps :)
