Analyst remains neutral on S-Reits amidst global financial situation

There may be tighter financial conditions in the US due to interbank rates.

Those planning to invest in Singapore REITs should be neutral as the global financial market remains uncertain, said Maybank.

“However, US short-term interbank rates are higher and credit spreads are wider from last week. US investment grade and high yield credit default swap spreads widened 7.8bp and 36.4bp,respectively. Singapore has seen similar moves, albeit on a smaller scale,” it said.

According to the bank, the top recommended S-Reits are CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, Frasers Centrepoint Trust, ESR Logos REIT, Mapletree Industrial Trust, CDL Hospitality Trust, CapitaLand Ascott REIT, and Far East Hospitality Trust.

It suggested that fall in yields is good for this segment and that industrial and hospitality sub-sectors are preferred.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
