That is why i put "if"
Yea, i agreed with what you say..

Which is good if you are treating it as FD.
Actually most REIT are giving returns higher than FDs already.. Most perform more than x2 of FDs..

And of course it comes with some capital appreciation (depreciation) as well

Correct me if I am wrong..

Revaluation will boost asset figures and affects EPS.. Revaluation will only affect revenue and increase the $$$ when REIT materialized them by selling the assets at the price being valued.

Dividends is not equivalent to EPS.

Dividends is distribution of a certain amount of profits from a period of operation to shareholders. For REITs case, 90% of the profit will be distributed to shareholder so that REITs will be exempted from taxation.

Yea!! I had my bullets already

Tomorrow I will surely cash in 1 of the REITs.
Will be between this few
1.) STAREIT
2.) ARREIT
3.) SUNREIT (Top up)
4.) ALAQAR

Thanks for suggestion
Will go their website to research.

The bank staff reply tell u that they are "noob" lolz.. Put FD.. Hahaha. Why they want to care about what you want to do with your money. Maybe they do not even know how to invest.

When i open with PB Bank, i only need Rm30.. After opening, I got an account, a CDS account, balance RM10 inside.

I think they want to push you higher end, so that they can get commission..? Anyone can confirm this (that there will be commission for new subscriber?)

Cash account does not need any money in it. You do not put in money, you cannot buy anything. That's it...
And if you only have 1k, and want to buy REIT... Yes, It is ALRIGHT!
In a long run, if the REIT really does perform, you will get real good returns in fact.

1k can buy 10lot (1000 shares) at RM0.84/share of STAREIT, with some balance left.
STAREIT yield, worst situation - 5% (Still better than FD), and you get bonus of capital appreciation.

Greatly encouraged to Invest while you are young. Go and pursue it. Try Hong Leong, PB Bank as well.

No offense.. But maybe it is because of area you are staying that gives this kind of service.
I still remember how i open my PB Bank trading account.

1st day - Directly walk into a PB Bank branch (Raja Chulan Branch to be precised). Then get a customer service ticket. Once reach, directly tell them "I want to open a share investment account (PB Sharelink Account). She get my IC, ask me to fill up a form, and call up a representative from Public Investment Bank Bhd. After filling up, pay Rm30 for the admin fees. Then inform me that the representative will call me up to meet up and sign agreement/contract.

In the evening (Around 5pm), the representative called me. Booked him tomorrow 12pm to sign agreement.

2nd day - Went to look at the agreement. And sign sign sign. I also don't know what am I signing as well because a lot to sign, and paiseh to read page by page, he needs to wait darn long if I do so. So i requested a copy after I finished signing. Around 15minutes, finished.

On the 3rd or 4th day - Account activated and ready to trade (Wow, very fast. I heard experienced of waiting 1-2 weeks, direct sienz). The account is ready to trade. They will open 1 CDS account and link it to your share account automatically.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with PB Bank experience. Very fast.
Today PB Bank server got problem, I cannot place order. I directly called them (the hotline), and gave orders to them. No extra charges. And quick response. I feel ok with their service, but I do not hope server will ever down.. Sometimes freak us out because each seconds counts.

But back to REITs.. You got 1k cash ready for investment.. I think STAREIT will be good for you as a starting? ARREIT is also a good option. Both also able to get 10 lots within Rm1k.
Be sure that you time your entry.. Some REITs are paying dividend soon, and automatically will be higher..

Come on.. It is just Rm10.. and your investment account will have Rm10 balance.. CDS account also need Rm10.. The other Rm10 is admin fee + bla bla bla..
For me, it is good value.. Most important no need to wait so long..

Good Good service they got there.
But ripalo in nilai.. Give him jupiter representative number and let him call and see...

Hope all the best to you, and hope your experience in opening an account is not too adventurous.

If i am not wrong, EPF money can be used to invest in Mutual Fund... Investing in stock, I cannot assure you that.
If I am not wrong account 2, when reach certain limit, can use the money to invest in Mutual Fund.

Oh, account 1 la.. I see..
Thanks for the confirmation.. I myself also cannot remember clearly.
But do u remember what is the minimum limit you must have in Account 1 before you can invest?

Is not Unit Trust la. Anything listed in KLSE, except those warrants and bla bla bla.. Are shares..

For easier understanding, maybe you can read something more practical about REITs, which is read some REITs website.

Example for Sunway REITs.
http://www.sunwayreit.com/

It will inform investor what are their property, who are renting with them, and which company is contributing the most.
There are a lot more of information out there, just that you need to spend time and look out for them.

Some other examples.

http://www.atriumreit.com.my/
http://www.axis-reit.com.my/

I think you are talking about Stareit.. Haha.
Yea, they did not update the website. Lousy la them.. Hahaha

Well, as long as their business is running properly, ok lar...
If you are not confident about it, then you can get other options.. So many other option there

There will be a indicator..
If you are for the dividend, then buy when the counter had a "C" at the end.

If you buy when there is a "X" at the end, means you will not be able to entitle for the dividend already.

You at your platform now.

Go and look YTLE (0009)
There is a "C" at the end...

"X" means expiry date for dividend
"*" means this counter lately got news.. announcement or updates.. Check them by pressing F2, then press 5
"!" means this is problematic counter with cashflow problem..


Pink counter - ACE Market
Purple counter - Suspended for trading

Anymore?

In English League, there are a lot of leagues.

English Premiere League is liken to Main Board in KLSE.
1st Division League is liken to ACE Board in KLSE..

So those pink counter are 1st division player lo..
Most of them are technology markets.. Most la..


Hope my explanation is easy enough to understand?
