Comparison of REITs with overseas assets vs REITs that focus on Singapore
REITs with overseas assets has become increasingly popular and have proliferated on the SGX in recent years.
These REITs span across all sub-sectors from classes from office, retail, industrial to even data centres.
As an investor, what are the things to look out for before investing in REITs with overseas assets vs those that focus on Singapore only?
We won’t mention REITs that have a mix of Singapore and overseas assets, such as Suntec REIT, because they are more difficult to analyze compared to those solely with foreign or Singapore assets.
This difficulty arises because the local/foreign asset mix has a differing impact on performance, risk and returns.
First up, let’s see which REITs have solely foreign assets and which only have Singapore assets.
