See which Singapore REITs are most exposed to refinancing risk

According to a Fitch Ratings assessment.

Fitch Ratings says in its new reports that while the operating metrics of Singapore-incorporated healthcare, hospitality and industrial REITs are stable now, the funds flow from operation (FFO)-adjusted net leverage of these REITs is high and they are exposed to refinancing risk.

There is considerable variation in the business risk the REITs are exposed to, with the healthcare REITs having a defensive business profile and the business of the hospitality REITs being the most cyclical of the three categories, Fitch said.

Both industrial and hospitality REITs also face the risk of rental income being adversely affected by the additional stock of properties entering in the market till end-2015.

Fitch expects REITs with large and granular investment property portfolios, FFO-adjusted net leverage below 6.5x, and master lease agreements that include a triple-net-lease clause that protects their net property income margin from increases in property operating expenses, property tax and property insurance to be relatively more insulated from business and financial risks.

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.
