Overall Outlook Retail REITs bounced back strongly with the announcement of allowing dining for 2 at F&B outlets and Singapore targeted vaccination rate of 67% by National Day (9th Aug'21) which will bring us closer to herd immunity and avoid future lockdowns. The confirmation of delivery of new supplies by Pfizer and Moderna are great news indeed for our national inoculation programme. Both SPH REIT and Lendlease REIT are now at an all time high since the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, SPH REIT and Lendlease REIT are among some of the potential list of Singapore REITs to be included in the FTSE EPRA NAREIT which will no doubt boost allocation by international fund managers into them hence an increased in their demand. 1.

With access to properties and relatively good yields, Singapore investors enjoy investing in REITs. Given that the low-interest-rate environment is here to stay, REITs continue to be able to refinance their debt at attractive levels. The one thing REIT investors need to be watchful about is how COVID-19 will change the way we live, work and play – as these will affect the various property types differently and also in different geographic regions. Even one year after COVID-19 was first reported, hospitality REITs continue to be impacted. Meanwhile, logistics, data centre and healthcare REITs are more relevant than ever.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacting REIT prices, some REITs have rebounded to close to their 5 years Price/NAV high. In this article we will be discussing the 5 S-REITs trading at close to their 5 years high, in terms of Price/NAV, at the time of writing (14 April 2021). Do note that despite being at their 5 years high (in terms of Price/NAV) this does not mean that the REIT is overvalued. A REIT can be undervalued (<1 Price/NAV) but still be trading at an all-time high.

I've been getting quite a bit of questions from some people who have been following my writing for some time and they noticed the recent strategy changes in my equity portfolio and so they wrote to me to understand the thinking behind the idea.For those who are relatively new to my blog, my equity investing strategy for the past few years entails investing in dividend paying companies in the Singapore market (and more recently HKG market) while hoping for some sort of small growth as part of the overall capital appreciation.I termed this as the "X+Y" strategy in my past article here or the "6+4"% strategy if you had attended my past talk during the 2018 BIGS Investing Conference.Until today, I remain a huge believer of investing in dividend paying companies because of several fun

Did a strategic swap of CapitaR China Trust to Lendlease Reit.  As a result of the swap, Lendlease Reit holding increased by 42.86%.  Dividend received for CapitaR China Trust also absorbed into Lendlease resulting in a total of 10.448 cents/unit as of latest distribution in February 2021.  Overall, there isn't any change to the Strategic section in term of total capital being put in (still $0 at the moment).The reason for the swap is because accumulation of CapitaR China Trust has been slower than Lendlease Reit.  In addition, is now trying a new method different from previous Strategic portfolio that is focus on 1 stock first instead of doing multiple simultaneously to determine which method is more effective in accumulating at the shortest possible time.
