Chart of the Day: Check out SREITs' historical spread versus Asian peers

And the 2 big factors behind correction.

According to OCBC, there are two key factors driving the dramatic correction in the S-REITs sector over the last two weeks.

First, increased expectations that the Federal Reserve could taper its bond purchases as early as 2H13; and secondly, the market going into opportunistic profit-taking on the back of a strong performance over 2012-13.

Here's more from OCBC:

At this juncture, however, we see the selling to be overdone. The S-REITs sector has nearly relinquished all of its YTD gains; the FSTREI was up 13.5% YTD on 15 May 2013 is now up only 1.6% YTD as at 3 Jun 2013.

We would now selectively bargain hunt for REITs with firm fundamentals and good potential for DPU growth.

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.
