It is not about market efficient or not.
It is about money has nowhere to go locally.
Imagine now a local investors sell reit that carry 4~5% yield, and take the cash, where the investors can put the money?
FD? Around 3% only, reit seems more attractive.
Equities?
Equities is not cheap mostly, some at PER 20x as well, yield even on famous and blue chip dividend stocks, yield may also lower that 4~5%, somemore higher risk the reit.
Axisreit DPU is improving over the time and based on its history track record of expansion.
It is the only reit seeing the DPU improving significant with more and more properties being injected, and without needing a single cent from the shareholders.
Shareholders enjoy the improving DPU, and growth in properties portfolio, without doing anything.
So shareholders/investors have good confidence on this reit, and it has the most properties (in number) under its portfolio, so more diversification instead rely on one of a few property.
Also previous buy and dispose activity has reap good realised profit for shareholders as well.
Most Axis reit properties are diversified across, KL valley, Penang, it is not an solely or mostly in iskandar
I sold 90% of my Axreit in 3.35-3.70. Not yet have the chance to buy back.
