Why not buy online and use e-dividend or something like that. This cheque posting are troublesome and always need to keep alert.

IGB REIT possibly in september says Reuters

hi, can anyone advise which REIT pay dividend by cheque and which one pay e-dividend?

ARREIT still sends cheque (Actually a Cashier's Order) for Dividend Payout.
I also received by mail on 22-March-2012

Sooner or later all should use E-dividend. It's more practical.

And more environmental friendly. Everybody's going green nowadays!

Is CMMT going to declare dividend in March? Please advise.

Thanks

I'm still not getting mine for ARREIT

i got mine in the post today

unlikely i think

There's lots of 'sell' on sunreits..What happen? might buy more if go down to 1.20. looks like some people dont like the RM200million upgrade of the newly acquired mall cum hotel

I would like to ask. How does one actually do valuations on a REIT? The same as other stocks?

For what I know, the way REITs do their business is quite different from other companies, right? After all, they collect rents, which is fixed income... So is the business affected by Bull/Bear markets at all?

So how do we gauge REITs based on ratios? How much should the average PE, ROA, ROE etc. of the industry be?

I couldn't find any books regarding REITs in the bookstores... Would like to learn more...

Any sifu here can pinjam some of ur wisdom, pls? Thanks!!!

@bryan5073

During recession, some businesses may go bankrupt or down-size, so REITs which own office place could be affected. As for retail-based REIT, maybe not much impact. After all, shopping is national pastime

Anyway, it looks like Eurozone has averted a crisis. So long as China can avoid a hard landing, the economy should be OK this year. (I know Lilian Too's fan would disagree with me )

does cash account entitled for dividend paid out?im using hong leong cash account.

Risks: non-renewal of tenancy agreements, non-payment of rents agreed upon when tenants get into financial trouble (this has happened before for Malaysian REITs), physical damage to property that might not be fully covered by insurance, deterioration of quality to property due to poor management, sweetheart deals resulting in lower rental rates than the market rate between the REIT and related companies, etc. Non-receipt of rental income is particularly dangerous for REITs which have significant loans to service.

Probably the most important things to know about REITs are therefore:
1) How indebted they are, though I understand that local laws limit that their debt to 50% of their assets.
2) Their property portfolio and whether or not you think the businesses occupying them are doing well.

I still get cheque from ARREIT and ATRIUM even though I have registered for e-dividend.

Same here... i guess it all depends on the REIT to issue cheque or e-dividend.
Issue cheque is still lower cost for them.
