can't be 2.63 that high... max maybe 2.61 today.

sgd has been moving between 2.55 to 2.60 in the last year.
but it looks like staying in the higher end more than not.

personally, i see no hope in rm strengthening, only down.
which is the main reason i bought into sgreits with rm starting a year ago or so.
use the sgd div to buy more sg reits, not convert back to rm.
i am hopeful it'll turn out much better in 5 yrs time compared to buying myreits in rm.

For SGD sometimes it is useless to wait... the SG government have a policy of sustain appreciation for their currency so they let the currency strengthen on a slow basis to match inflation.

I have been buying SGD since exchange rate of 2.1 until now... no sign of reducing anytime soon...

Noob question:

Any website I can do a quick check on when is SG REITS dividend ex-date?
Currently I use the SGX website which is tedious, as need to check one by one...
Alternatively, hv to check the trading website and see when the c word come on. which might be late for purchases.

I need to find future CUM div and EX DIV for purchases.

thanks.

Hi, any idea when is dividend payout? I tried google it, but no record so far.
Only found targeted dividend percentage.. but no dates.
One year how many times dividend?

Just listed a few months ago, have not paid their maiden dividend yet lar. I believe their dividend is once yearly.

Here is a link to relevant announcement dates in 2014.

OUE's $355 mln Singapore REIT IPO to be launched next week-IFR

Singapore-listed property firm Overseas Union Enterprise will begin book-building for a commercial real estate investment trust listing in the city-state on Jan. 13 that may raise as much as $355 million, the Thomson Reuters publication IFR reported on Tuesday.

This will be the first major Singapore IPO of 2014, which could be followed by the South Korea's Lotte Shopping Co Ltd's $1 billion REIT after the Chinese New Year holiday.

The OUE Commercial REIT is targeting a market capitalisation of S$700 million-S$800 million ($631 million)and sponsor OUE plans to retain a stake of around 40 percent.

At present, its listed peers trade at an average yield of 6.5 percent.

The OUE Commercial REIT will feature office building OUE Bayfront in Singapore and the Lippo Plaza Property in Shanghai.

CIMB, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp and Standard Chartered are the joint global co-ordinators on the IPO, as well as joint bookrunners with Citigroup, JPMorgan and RHB.

U intend to get it?

nope, currently focusing on M'sia Market 1st

Hi Gary,

Want to ask your opinion on LIPPO MALL indonesia Reits.... Occupancy 93%, yield is 8%. Gearing 24.5%


I havent see/visit physical mall ...good or not ?
by the way their Indonesia Government Bond 10Y is 9%...

In my opinion... is a mix of good and bad malls. Most of the malls are neighborhood and on the fringe...

Several good malls like sun plaza & pluit village. Others are mostly neighborhood malls or some 3rd class retail space...loan in SGD but income is in IDR. The yield is a bit low compared to the exposure risk.

Yes Indonesia 10Y bond is around 8.5% to 9%

Trade done AIMS AMP CAP today SGD 1.40.... Shopping time....

ouch.. AIMS AMP CAP and now become SGD 1.38...

I feel that retail reits are turning around now... not so much for the office/industrial reits...
