Somebody mentioned it (I can't remember) but after I checked the fund fact sheet on the holdings part, there're big names in it!

US housing data disappointed last Friday and this could point out that tapering is not favourable according to analysts.

AmAsia Pacific REIT dropped significantly. It was above 0.6000 on last Monday.

Friday's NAV is 0.5886. My ROI shrunk to 3.64%

No much difference; just 0.0004

So strange my Chrome didn't show Friday NAV.

Where you get the price from?

Local REITs may not be attractive:

The answer is BIG no!

You better reduce your REIT allocation if you did read the article I posted few days ago from The Edge Malaysia regarding caution on REIT.

Equities Weekly: South East Asia Tumbles [26 Aug 2013]

Over the week ended 23 August 2013, global equities ended the week higher as measured by the MSCI AC World index gaining 0.3%, with US (1.1%) and Europe (0.6%) being the sole regions to post gains. Amongst the regional markets, the weakest markets over the course of the week were Asia ex Japan and the Emerging Markets, where losses measuring -2.8% and -2.0% were recorded. The biggest single country losses came from South East Asia, with investor favourites Indonesia plummeting -13.5% whilst Thailand shed -8.7%. Malaysia and Singapore were not left unscathed despite posting less heavy losses, with the neighbouring bourses falling -3.8% and -3.4% respectively. North Asia similarly saw losses, although they were not as hefty as their South East Asian counterparts, with Korea and China ending the week -2.0% and -1.7% lower.

Asian currencies were generally weaker vis-à-vis the USD, adding to the losses of their equity markets when measured from a USD-perspective, with the Indonesian Rupiah the biggest loser, sliding -5.6% against the greenback over the week.
