Arreit still have sellers. Any bad news on Arreit?

One of reason also because of interest rate.

Sg interest rate only below 1%. So a yield 3-5% seems attractive enough. People are willing to buy at 3-5%.

But MY, FD rate already 3.x %, if reit yield also 3.x%, it makes reit very attractive, might as well park in FD, more secure, easier.

Wah! Correct or not?

Cherroy, which REIT(s) are you targeting now? I wanna follow

Oppss, not correct, should be unattractive.... my bad.

Last time (months ago) bought Qcap and Stareit already.

Now targeting dividend cheque coming only.

Aiya, just invest in ARREIT.. money keep coming .. Now i have to figure out how to reinvest using the dividen.. I wonder hlbe can do it

So nice. Qcap not much price movement nowadays. Still got time to pick up after divvy!

Ok, gonna pickup some more these few weeks.....

I remember I saw the same thing happening for QCAP some time ago. (Thats when I bought in ). The talk at time was the some foreign funds were selling. That's the thing about REIT, the volume is so small that the price will be destabilise if someone with huge holdings wants to exit. But they won't exit one go, so you see the case of the seller only willing to release at 0.91.

Normally disposal take a week or a couple of weeks.
You will see volume spike up, and lot of buyer and seller each day, then volume shrink back again.

There is no point to let go in one go, as it can depress the price too significant, eventually affect their selling price only.

This the the problem when we have not enough liquidity.
But generally speaking, for retailers, a few hundred to a few thousand lot, it has no problem to let go in a day.

I see. So it's still on an after ex disposing period. Thanks.

added position b4 looking at this.. lol

Morning cherroy

Hi everyone, I am newbie who just start to learn to invest. However, due to stock exchange has higher risk. So, have to give up for this moment. Just read this reits investment. I see everyone seems like very happy receiving the dividends. May I know how frequently they distribute dividend? One more thing is all the reits price is quite high. Almost all of them is nearly Rm 1. 1k units require RM 1000. I just start to work no longer. Not much saving. Buying 5k units can earn from dividend? I expect I can learn much much more than FD.

New low at this round. More? My basket is ready.

congratulations on thinking of investment the moment u r deriving a source of income. before you start, it's recommended to have at least 6 months worth of emergency funds though. now on to your questions, reits distributes dividends four (4) times a year, meaning every quarter. now bursa 1 lot=100 units and no longer 1000 units hence making it more affordable since RM1=1lot=100 units=RM100 on your side. look at accumulating small numbers at a consistent basis. more units=more dividends and capital appreciation potential. generally yield from reits are in 6-8% region which is about 2x the FD rate.

Er.. some REITs distribute dividends once or twice a year.

I always think to invest instead of putting money in bank to let them invest. Not a wise choice though. By the way, what is the minimum amount to buy the reits so that the dividend is far enough to cover for the broker's fee. I dun want to buy separately. I want to buy it in one shot so that wont charged for each transaction. Let say I buy RM 5k reits, can estimate roughly how much I can earn from that? Your 6-8% yield is yearly? It means that I can earn RM 5k x 0.06 = RM 300 per year?

DY% mentioned is gross. Thus, if say TWRREIT is supposedly paying 8%DY at current price, then U better calculate it as
8%*(100%-10%tax on dividend distributed) to get a closer net DY%.

Cost of purchase is about 0.55% (one way), assuming U are buying at least $3K worth, when buying stocks (investing in REITs are investing in their common stocks). Do the maths .

Hmm not really.....it varies........it declares differently from year to year...one of my sgreit 1 year 3% another year 7%....
