Chart of the Day: Here’s proof that SREITs are still better than government bonds

They offer much higher yields.

Singapore-listed REITs offer a safe haven for investors who are terrified of escalating market volatility, according to a report by DBS.

DBS noted that SREIts have outperformed both the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) and property developers year-to-date, buoyed by demand from yield-hungry investors.

“The S-REIT sector trades at 0.9x P/Bk, and offers investors a yield of 7.1%. This implies a yield spread of 4.9% against the 10- year government bond of 2.2%,” DBS said.

“We believe current valuations are attractive re-entry levels and believe that large caps are likely to benefit as investors turn yield hungry in a tepid growth environment. Amongst S-REITs, our preferences are those with the opportunity to surprise on the upside through acquisitions or portfolio-specific catalysts,” DBS added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
