Alive and kicking: Indian assets becoming new nirvana for healthcare SREITs

Robust subcontinent dominates 50% of revenues.

Healthcare SREITs are on stable ground, thanks mostly to a robust healthcare sector and the exposure to Indian assets.

A report by Fitch Ratings showed that the outlook for the healthcare sectors in Singapore are stable, driven by improving affordability, higher incidences of chronic illnesses, ageing populations in some countries, and the rise in medical tourism.

The report further noted the importance of Religare Health Trust’s all-India portfolio of healthcare assets, which is valued at $590m. By the end of 2013, Religare’s assets accounted for 19% of the healthcare SREIT sector while its revenue accounted for nearly 50%.

According to the report, “Fitch expects the resilience of healthcare income through economic cycles, and the strong growth prospects for private healthcare services in India, to largely offset the higher business risks associated with an increase in the sector’s exposure to emerging-market assets.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
