Need to analyse the numbers deeper...

Dividend drops because this quarter the manager decided to distribute only 94.4% of income as dividend. For the past 4 quarters, the distribution has been > 98.8% in each quarter ... Not sure why this quarter they decided to retain some of the income ...

Otherwise the gross revenue and net property income are almost flat both QoQ and YoY wise.

AA Reit attributed this to its Q4 '17 distribution which included retained distributions from the previous three quarters of FY2017, and partial retention of the current quarter's distribution to fund the working capital and capital expenditure requirements of the trust

The reit market is really bull now.
Even after xd, many still continue to surge higher.

Ya, seems like a bit "over-crowded".

Market totally ignores Fed's intention/plan to wind down its balance sheet.

yeah . i thinking trim my cap mal today
ex div liao.. but price higher than yesterday.

Want to show POWER!!!

Trim already $$ put where ? 

anyway, SGD -> MYR exchange looks like inching towards another high ... today breached 3.15 liao 
if need some MYR, not a bad time to trim and change to MYR since both REIT and SGD are on hyper mode now

Sustainable? i hv AUD FD sitting in bank.. time to take out?

You should do like my friend's father did.

Convert all AUD500k one shot when he started uni there (badawi's time)

Alternatively, you can do what Showtime does. Buy contacts as a hedge against further decrease. He's in the exporting business so can drop him a PM on how to do hedging.

At least yout situation is not as bad as bbgoat. He converted USD at 4.5 because of rumours that that RM will hit RM5 for USD1 *consoling*

not kaya.. getting poorer by the day. It seems impossible now to send 2 kids for overseas education.

AUD FD - its saving for kids education too... but sitting in FD earning only 2%.

When the older one start working, can help the younger one. Lessen the burden.

Got open new thread ??

Hi guys, am new to REITS. Is there any Singapore-based REITs that is investing in Indonesia' property market?

Thanks

But seem like the REIT price is up and now and there are limitation on the price appreciation, REIT value seem won't shoot up very high,that is y my concern if buy at high price.😄

Understood Bro,   i am not try to earn fast money, just looking some long term investment to earn consistent interest and grew my money. Reit should be one of the ideal option. Just wonder should i enter to buy some now or wait for another few month as current sreit price are mostly at the high side.

today is ex div for AIMS, but don't see it dropping

rather than having $$$ sitting idle.. i just add from time to time.

Aug will  be a month of bounty DIVIDENDS too...

If price dips just add.. Who knows when going to be lower?

AIMS at 1.25.. not many will buy coz the fear of it going lower will be there...

i added a bit only.. as not easy to make an Emotional decision to buy when price start to fall.

Logically the Share price does not affect the dividend receive.. and
with 27 properties.. 1.5 billion .. cannot be all property not tenanted right??

Actually I have long considered Canada after finding out with holding tax is only 15%. If I can get higher returns from Canada why not? Never ever underestimate the power of with holding taxes...

Reason not keen on AU
1) no bank account, no AU address, cannot open (can open but need to give them AUD10k).
2) 30% tax. If like that better I choose US. Same 30% tax. Wider choices (FANG etc).

Like I said, if there's nothing available on sale, other market might have something. So keep your eyes open. Don't just depend on 2 market. Find a country without inheritance tax. 

...

Jumping here and there,... for myself, I'd stabilise myself with a good job first,... dangerous plans my bro has,....

I dare not even comment too much about what holdings everywhere here,...

execution of estate plans may kill the assets' - ie. cost to execute in several countries... vs assets' value in those countries..

I think this forum has influenced him too much,... he is now thinking of wishing to invest only, and not realising that this lifestyle can only take place if he has sufficient bullets in his pocket,... if he has not made the bullets yet, it is pointless,...

Or perhaps, he has a big sponsor behind him ?? Who knows, maybe no need to work, able to convince his parents that he can double their money easily after learning from this forum and from net materials,... he got his hands on all the savings from the folks,...

Still, he may burn everything away with a wisp, OR,... he may be over-careful and invest only in very-low returns instruments for the safety,...with which the returns may not be enough to sustain a lifestyle long term, and for retirement of his parents. That is why he keeps waiting. ...

This forum is not all necessarily healthy,...
