should u guys be afraid of reits in the coming year? the last scare saw reit px drop 15-40%... do u think the next int hike will see a similar trend? of cause the the last one was a scare, but the next one would be very real...

also anyone into business trust?

not great outlook... but why bleak?

price been 1.04-1.06 for many moons.

yesterday was ex-div, so dropped 2 cents to 1.03, quite normal.

7.2% yield, not bad!

hmm.. didnt realize bout d dividend

anyway... just to clarify how this dividend works..

you get the dividend if you hold at what date;?

1) announcement date?
2) book closing date?
3) distribution date?

frankly, i'm not sure!
will verify n revert!

how u buy these? fr?

for cimb nominee acc, buy/sell with itrade platform, it works this way:

.. no need to deposit anything if you have some stocks (bursa or any other) with enough trading value.
.. when u buy at itrade, the rate to be used is shown on the screen, e.g. now is buy sgd at rm2.5665, sell sgd is rm2.5535. can check with other banks rates now to see if these are fair rates.
.. after purchase, the next day, u get a statement via email - it will show exactly that rate and total cost in rm incl brokerage, stamp duty, etc. the same figures will also be displayed in yr itrade/client summary, so u can't miss.
.. just deposit the rm figure within t+3 to complete purchase.

.. if u have some sgd in the sgd trust acc (which happens becos of on-going div, and which does not earn any interest unlike the trust acc in rm), u can use that to pay too. if amt is sufficent, it's just sgd paying for sgd, rm rate becomes irrelevant. if it is insufficient and you need to pay partial sgd and partial rm, a new rate will be determined on due date for the portion u wish to pay in rm - this is becos at purchase, the bank locks into the rate at that time for you and this rate can't be used if you choose pay differently. so, depending on whether the rates moves for or against u significantly over the following few days, one can choose to optimize. i usually accumulate enough of the div in sgd and wait for opportunity to buy and pay in sgd when sgd is relatively stronger than rm. conversely, if rm is strong, i will pay with rm and just leave the sgd's for the next opportunity.

thank you but dont quite understand.. am not well educated..

btw, what's the difference between cumdate and exdate?

lol.. so nice, get almost 2% return doing intraday trade for the last few days..

all ib reports i read recently are -ve on ind reits as there is ample new space coming onstream.

generally, these ib's say sg reits are toppish, nothing good to say.

personally, i only hv aimsampi and sabana in industrials - aim has been very good, sabana has been behind since a few months ago.
just bought a bit more cdl htrust, since it dropped a bit more than i expected ex-div. this one gave lower than exp div due to some hotel shutdown for renov but shud be back in op soon. i see sg hotels in v good shape.

price easing a bit, yields rising. plus just ex-div.

can see it almost across the board..

not topping up anything more for now. will watch a bit longer, wait for divs to arrive!

thanks for heads up!

will watch for a few days...

just read ib report that sg may be raising rates soon... well... 20-25bps?

shopping lists is? 

Should yield chasers worry about Singapore REITs?

Is funny Lah, golf REIT also got.....

allege possible Russia Invasion on Ukraine

all my dividends in except aimsampi due on 23/9.

weighing whether to buy new ireit or add soilbuildbiz - both similar 7.5% yield and 3x% gearing...

what do you think about the weakening of the EURO against SGD? Should be detrimental for IRIET's yield no?
