Chart of the Day: Check out the REIT winners, losers in the last 52 weeks

They're most vulnerable to shocks.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, it goes without saying that the REITs are the most vulnerable to rate shocks. Hospitality and office sector REITs have lost the most ground from their 52-week highs since the beginning of May, and quite rightly so as they are in the most cyclical domains. 

"Ascendas REIT has also been sold down heavily, probably because industrial prices have shot up in the past three years, making industrial properties vulnerable to a cyclical downturn," it said in a report.

"While the other REITS (mainly retail and logistics) are holding up better, we would not touch them yet as attention may first switch to the also-vulnerable telco and banking sectors before rotating back to REITs for another wave down."

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.
