No recommendation. The choice is yours. 

AXIS REIT is not stock broker company also....

I can intro you my friend Judy In Kuching. She works in Hong Leong and I just registered a HLebroking with CDS with Hong Leong. 

The things attracted me is that the charges is RM8.  If you don't trade/invest, you could enjoy 2.6% interest p.a

there is no right or wrong answer to that question. more to do with how much you want to put in, select the ones you feel good about. to do that, some reading and self convincing is required. i can think of:

price charts of each reit you can get at cimb itrade.
comments from others in this thread.

most people buy reits for a good steady div yield. cap gain is a bonus.

also, can consider buying when div payment is round the corner, benefit from it.

i buy bit by bit all the time, still buying.

at this time, looking at starreit, uoa and amanahraya. if any of these pull back a bit, will buy.

recently got some sunreit and axis which have turned out well, but yield's getting low now.

those NAV > Price , becoz investor dont feel the property value at premium level.
Secondly buying reits we buying the yield not the NAV, becoz NAV only concern when we selling the property.
NAV is book value accounting tell you how much the property worth, not reflect the DPS giving to customer.
When come to the Yield = DPS/Price. The lower price you buy the higher yield you receive.

absolutely. which is why nav by itself is of little use. need to know asset type and quality, accounting details, etc.

and all that... investors know and assuming market forces are efficient... should be factored into the stock/reit market price, i.e. "price is king"!

OOPS.. same is DPU

Dividend per unit.

you need to do homework more, later become ikan bakar also dunnow why.

this one... think those who bought early, excellent cap gains.

yield is so low now, unlikely price will go up much in near future.

i hv no interest to buy more!

but liquidity is good, i suppose.

read the igbreit thread... major shareholders selling.

even at 1.34, yield is among the lowest.

i bot some at 1.34 months ago, now back to original!

like pavreit, hard to expect cap gains, but good liquidity.

reits is "old man" investment, much much slower and much less volatile than regular stocks.

i hv been looking for chance to buy more for last 2 months, can't see any yet.

but the chance will come, just nobody knows when.

maybe some "crisis" happen or major foreign funds exit, rattling the market.

singapore reits had a 5-6% drop last week but that is a totally diff market.

the question is always when such a thing happens, r u bold enough to go for it?

For REIT, don't need to wait for price drop to enter.
Even if it drops, how low before you enter ?
As long as the Dividend Yield is attractive enough...Just DO IT. /

REIT is like buying properties for rent.... it takes time to get capital appreciation (2nd objective in REIT).
1st Objective in REIT = Dividends

why waiting.....???juz buy..

GOOD LUCKY...buy stock dont rush - stock can go up slow, but drop down very fast.

yes, i won't buy anything with yield <5.5% as a start.

the thing is all those popular mall reits - igb, pav, cmmt, sunway are all <5% now. hence i say better wait for opportunity if you only want these.

about axis, back in jan-feb this year, there was a day or two when major funds exited from bursa due to ge13 coming then. price went from 3.2x (or was it 3.3x?) to 3.0x. that was the time i bought some at 3.1x - an example of "wait for opportunity".

i'm looking closely at sunreit (again).

a couple of months ago, price was 151-153, a few reports targeting price 1.80. i bot some.

2 days ago, 1q2013 report was favorable, declared dps 2.06 vs 1.87 previous qtr.

from last high of 1.65, now 161-162.

160 will be quite a good price to get, yield around 5%.

will be patient, hope to pick up some more.

this is probably in line with the global hot funds exiting emerging markets. these currencies will weaken further.

for small rm holders, the only consolation is perhaps the yields can get a little higher, chance to buy in...

hard to say ler... nobody is demigod. global markets are now in "chaos":
i watched all day today, no good chance for anything.

igb at 1.34 isn't good enough (for me) since yield is still <5%.

sunreit holding at 1.62. got some the other day at 1.59, want some more.

maybe tmrw will see a chance for arreit <0.98 and uoa <1.48.

i jumped at ax yesterday, pav today, tmrw igb, i hope.

small moves, slow n easy...
