REITs with high exposure to these regions will see much higher yields

They will dodge Singapore’s ongoing slowdown.

Persistent supply glut in the domestic commercial, industrial, retail and hospitality spaces are bugging the city-state’s REITs. Those who opt to diversify to certain regions, however, will be able to ward off this crisis.

According to analysts from UOB Kay Hian, REITs with relatively more exposure to Japan, Hong Kong and Europe will see a significant pick-up in their forward yields.

“We like deep value and well-diversified REITs with a significant overseas footprint, namely ART, CCT and MLT,” UOB Kay Hian said.

Meanwhile, those with exposure to Indonesia, Malaysia and China are likely to see a drop.

“Well-diversified counters MLT, ART, CDREIT and FHT benefit in terms of hedged forward trading yields vis-à-vis forward trading yields. ART will see a 57bp pick-up on a hedged forward yield basis while FHT and CDREIT see 21bp and 21bp pick-ups respectively. MLT will see a 16bp pick-up compared with flattish pick-ups among its peers,” UOB Kay Hian added.

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.
