It does affect.. over time .. with the strength of USD

You rather hold MY, SGD or USD REITs provided they have same DY?

The problem is where can i find a reits in Usd which has the same DY and risk factor as Sgd or My ringgit reits ? Any recommendation?

look at NYSE.. lots of REITs there.

Soilbuild REIT: Agreement with JTC on rent payable for Solaris
Soilbuild Business Space REIT (Soilbuild REIT) announced that it has entered into an agreement with JTC in relation to the dispute over the land rent payable to the latter for the Solaris property. Under the agreement, the parties have agreed on the conversion of the annual land rental payment scheme under the lease of the property to an upfront land premium payment scheme, which works out to be S$74m. SB Solaris, the master lessee of the property, has agreed to bear S$19m of the upfront land premium, while Soilbuild REIT will bear the remaining S$55m. SB Solaris, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soilbuild REIT’s sponsor, has also agreed to extend an interest-free loan of S$55m to Soilbuild REIT in demonstration of its sponsor’s support. This loan would be repaid on the expiry of the master lease agreement on 15 Aug 2018. On a pro forma basis, this development is not expected to have an impact on Soilbuild REIT’s FY14 DPU given that the loan is interest free. Maintain our BUY rating and S$0.93 fair value on Soilbuild REIT. (Wong Teck Ching Andy)

Sold some reit lately..collecting cash while waiting fed to drop the bomb within this year... Then can start collecting...

not a bad idea.

fed bomb in jun, jul, sep, oct... that's the wait.

but if all that expectation is being priced in now, the actual hike itself may be a sort of "non-event"...?
