CICT also did not show rental reversion data for the first time in their recent reporting. CMT used to show that every quarter, even though they do half-year reporting.

One important thing to note is ETFs are a basket of REITs and they include big/small-caps, and all kinds of industries, all pre-set by the index providers.

However, should you want a different exposure level (say no small caps at all, or the polar opposite, all in small caps), you need to buy individual REITs separately.

Indices tend to give large-cap REITs more weightage than small-caps, which may not suit some investors' risk appetite. Some index providers have their own issues too: https://www.sinchew.com.my/content/content_2475450.html

As for quarterly top-up, bear in mind of the fees involved if you do that frequently. Investors generally top-up during market sell-down/melt-down, rather than quarterly. It's fine to do quarterly top-up if you think the fees are low relative to your investment amount (expressed in %). Otherwise, accumulate in short-term liquid deposits, then go in all at once during bad times, might give you some alpha.

As for latest restriction, this is certainly a good time. Lots of opportunities arise in large-cap space. As prohpetful said, retail and hospitality. I also noticed industrial ones suffered some hit too. Worth taking a look at these counters.

I don't know much about small-caps though.

Not silly at all. It's normal for beginners to ask. Totally fine. Well, even if prophetful is some sort of prophet, I don't think he can forecast share prices months later.

Have a look at this: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry99272404

For starters, might be of good help. (I presume you understand basic shares/stocks investment, otherwise you need something even simpler than the ones stated below)

Before you cherry-pick, make sure you understand your appetite and some points to note:

1. Large-caps or small-caps or a mixed of them? If mixed, in what proportion? Heavy weight in large-caps or small-caps?
2. Which industry: Retail, Office, US Office, Industry, Integrated Developments, Data center, Hospitality, or even business trusts like Netlink NBN?
3. Get yourself familiarize with terms used in the industry often. This helps: https://www.reitsweek.com/reits-glossary
4. Ask here if you don't understand. Many members here will help. However, bear in mind everyone has different "appetite and risk profile", so one man's meat may be another's poison.
