SREITs trail behind regional peers in terms of price performance in 2014

Can they catch up this year?

Singapore REITs lagged behind global peers in terms of price performance in 2014. OSK DMG reported that SREITs returned an average of 10.4% last year, led by the robust price performance of the office sector.

In comparison, Hong Kong REITS returned an average of 18.2%, while Malaysian REITs recorded an average return of 12.4%.

Japanese REITs surged ahead with an average return of 28.5%, boosted by quantitative easing in Japan.

“Going into 2015, we believe there’s still room for SREITs to play catch-up, especially in the next 6-9 months, with the flattening of the yield curve and before the Fed Fund rate liftoff (most expect at least in 2H15). For 1H15, we do not expect any major block that may derail the longer-term low-interest rate environment. Low DPU growth may persist, but we do not expect a significant downside risk to property prices in 1H15, especially in the office and retail subsectors,” stated OSK DMG.

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.
