Some info/introductions here :-

Better if You can find more about REITS by reading more in V1 plus V2 , and to make a final decision on which ones suit you. These are  valuable and practical experiences shared by others .

Somehow, there are no short cuts  in Investing, even by obtaining the best education in university  would not ensure the success of a person. However, to certain extents it might help.

Just my view only.

P/S > Sori, no intention to divert the attention of forumers elsewhere.

What is the yield for Qcapita? If the current distribution x2 / the price also 7.x% only leh. So little.

Yes, but new assets acquistion drag down the whole reit yield as well as NAV, which is not something to cheer about, but got more diversification which offset the disadvantage.

So take 1 lose 1, breakeven, that's why I said, there is nothing to cheer about.

sharesa,

The current yield of ARREIT is 8.5%, while the yield for the new acquisitions is 7.25% for the first 3 years. This automatically drags down the yield.

The total of unit is increased now, through new 122 million unit

sharesa,

The yield is derived based on the purchase price of the properties, so in REITs term, we are getting what we paid for.
constant,

As mentioned above, the yield is based on the purchase price. Which means that the source of funding is not important. The important issue here is the price these properties were bought and the rental they produce.

It is not for the company to decide the price for the new shares. They will have to float it based on the 5-days market average, according to the guidelines for REITs.

Thank you WagnerK. Does it mean if I sell AmFirst once I received the dividends and then buy similar reits that will give me another round annualised yield of about 20%+ (over a 2 month period), and I do it repeatedly, I can "actually" earn annual yields of about 20% on reit investments?

Thanks again.

Thank you Jordy.
Hmmm.... wondering how much AmFirst reit price will drop after ex-date 

The 5sen adjustment kinda outdated because share price is not adjusted  " manually " up when a company announces a jump in profit nor any increase in NTA. Neither share capital  is manually  adjusted with 5sen up when the dividend is declared.

So it should not adjusted manually down. Kinda free market forces.

Just my view.

Do not take it too seriously, I just say something to open up your mind and thought only.

It follows  the unit trust method where unit is based on NTA  to calculate.

Yup. Actually i don know what is it so important about NAV. What i am more concern on is their shrinking in EPS

Thanks bro. Income distribution dropped for this quarter 

Maybe he build in  with a 10% inflation factor. Many people do want to take into the consideration of inflation factor.

Moreover  if you are a late comer, then REIT price  may appreciate within  a smaller range.

It means investment return could be negative some times  ( not inflation proof ).

Asians are most impacted by food and living inflation, so a 10% jump in food price would have impact on them, as compared to people living  in US.

Just my view.

Hi, may i know what is the total amount dividend of Arreit on 2010? Is it a good investment counter?

just a question ... would it be ok for a stock beginner to dabble in reit 1st
before venture into normal stock? i have read through the stock tread, mostly into goreng stock.
can gain alot but at the same time would lose alot too. double edge sword.
reit at least can give stable divy income with less volatile price.
i want to gain some experience 1st before going for normal stock.
thank in advance for advice
