S-REITS see shaky performance in 2022

The previous year saw 6% in total returns for 2021.

Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-REITs) find themselves in a bumpy position due to stagflation and an impending interest rate hike, according to a report released by RHB.

According to the research, S-REITS are positioned to ride out these obstacles due to the REITs offering one of the highest yields globally. Inorganic growth from acquisition and merges are also expected to help the sector survive.

Also helping them stay afloat is a sector gearing of 37%, which is below the regulatory limit of 50%. Around 77% of S-REIT’s debts are also hedged, with the sector average interest cover at 5.2x and a weighted average debt maturity of 2.8 years.

Industrial and office REITs, meanwhile, were seen by RHB to be the preferred sectors. This is due to an earnings resilience for industrial REITs. On the other hand, hospitality REITs are expected to be at around 6-12 months away from an increase in numbers.

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.
