Charles Goodhart is an Economics Professor from the London School of Economics. He said that "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes" One interpretation is that when a measurement becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. I was expecting to lose money when I ploughed my trainer's fees into the portfolio created by my third batch of students. After all, the Capricorn effect is long over and REITs have already completed a fairly good run in the markets.Furthermore, the worse decision we made as a class was to keep First Reit in our portfolio. It subsequently lost me about 7+% over the span of less than a month, likely due to the perceived problems from its sponsors. Interestingly, the class kept it in the po

Frasers Property Limited (formerly known as Frasers Centrepoint Limited) is a multinational integrated real estate conglomerate with assets located in Singapore, Australia, China, and Europe. Frasers Property is active in property development, management, REITs, and investments. As at 30 September 2018, Frasers Property has a total of S$32.4 billion in total assets.

I wanted to take this time to quickly update on my latest position. After the recent run-up to most of the S-Reits which I believe is near valuation peak over the past 10 years (apart from 2015), I have decided to lock in my gains and divested Frasers Logistic Trust (FLT) yesterday at a price of $1.14. This divestment gave me a very decent return in terms of both dividend and capital appreciation for the past couple of years I had them. Other than the dividends I have been getting over these years, I have also participated in their rights last year which brings down my average price further.At $1.14, and assuming 1.78 cents/quarter annualized for the full year, it represents a dividend yield of 6.2% currently, which I think is a bit heavy (expensive) from a valuation perspective.
