so, in actual fact, if my cost is only .83.. and not .94.. my yield is much higher right?

So the latest dividend we received is it 4% or 10% of what we put in?

Yeah...lots of selling pressure.

Notice the return of CAPITALL?

I developed an interest in Ascott REIT when they started acquiring assets in The USA. I started to 'replace my PNB Fixed-Priced funds with Ascott REIT' back in 2015.

I attended the AGM last year,... BUT when I saw a couple of things at the AGM, I decided to divest. I still held-on to 100 units today 'prove a point' to myself.

I moved the funds over to UMS, FLIT and PLife REIT.

Well,... let me say first that some points below could be just becaue of me, not really affecting the quality of the REIT at all....

1) I saw the BOD was heavily protected by security-guards, personal body-guards. The last time I saw this was around a developer who took purchasers' money and couldn't deliver the houses. This fella has to walk around with heavy body-guards around him, and one day one of his body-guards betrayed him and his head was broken and needed stitching. So,... looks like same scenario here,...

2) The CEO was extra-friendly,... I must say, he mingled with shareholders,... BUT,.. well,... he looks real smart,.... I really don't think he will give more than what the the mkt gives to shareholders.

3) Ascott REIT is part of the Capitaland Group,... it could be just me,... but I feel that these big SG conglomerates are very detailed in their investment things,... they will count to the penny in their ventures. So, I don't think Capitaland will give investors more than investors deserved. These SG companies don't miss,....

Sure, if we wanted safety, then can go with Ascott REIT,... but if we wanted more, than there are other better companies out there,.... errm,... how to say this huh ?? IT's too well-run,... so,.. will not give more,... Singaporeans count every penny,... that's why less corruption there,...

4) When I talked spoke to the BOD during Q&A,... err,.. don't know how to describe,...

Well,... in summary, I think it it's better to go with some other counters. Ascott won't give more than what investors deserve. When I first started investing in SG, I would go for the blue chips and the govt-linked counters,... today,... with experience,.. I think no more-lar,....

thank you sir. to decide when to enter , shd i be looking at "NAV" to determine the price, and also "YIELD" to for the profit that ill be gaining?
also how do i get myself any SG brokers? any platform ?

Liquidating my CMT 
Hopefully someone bites 

Yeah

Probably time to trim?

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

Thanks

Aims (if can catch at 1.35 below), First reit (if can catch at 1.32), Mapletree china (if can catch at 0.9x-1)
AGT if fall to 0.67 grab already. No need to wait hit 0.65
Temasek owns mapletree which owns the four reits.    Which they open up their student accommodation reit to public instead of for private investors. You cannot go wrong with mapletree. That's why feel want to consolidate my CMT + FCpT > MCT
Ascendas is also supported by temasek (but yield too low and not attractive for me)

Is not about jumping here and there. As I said, if there's no deal (cheap stuff to buy in SG), I am perfectly fine to buy other place. No point letting cash rot. Learn this from the FSM forum. If one place not a good place, look at other places.

This just occured to me,... is it possible that,... if say, we have a portfolio of shares under our single name in a portfolio at a particular brokerage, then we initiate a transfer of this whole portfolio to another person's name in the same brokerage ? This would be, in essence, transferring out holdings to a beneficiary,...

In Singapore ? In Australia ?

I won't touch hospitality reits with airbnb. Last time without airbnb amd friends, maybe yes. If now, no thanks.

Even die die want to invest in tourism, there are better options for tourism section in Singapore.

Another 7.6% for acquisition before hitting the ceiling. What's the gearing ratio for others?

Can a reit decrease it's gearing by paying more principal and reduce it's DPU? A reit must pay 90% of it's earnings right? So can the reit manager use some of the 90% to pay off it's debts (which will cause the DPU to drop)?
