Single tier - no tax

Reit distribution - witholding tax 10%.

Technically, the distribution of reit is not called as dividend.

Single tier - profit has been taxed at corporate level, hence no tax.
Reit distribution - Tax free at corporate level if reit distributes more than 90% of its income.

500k in MYR??

Have you settle any of your debts? If No, I prefer if you settle those loan first.

As for REITs, It's better you put some potion to test first as you may not want to lose money from there. Anyway, few REIT nowadays are on the uptrend but IMO, it's too late to buy but you still can buy due to the dividend. Just make sure it's for long term and for the moment if you want to buy, don't buy too much.

My 2cen. Hope some lansi expert dun flame me.

Value investing is not simply about buying stock that lower its NAV/NTA.
In stock market, value is given based on company ability to give investors profit/income or generate wealth, not solely about how much their NAV/NTA.

NTA/NAV is only 'valid" when the company is in the process of liquidating and giving back all the proceed from liquidation.
Otherwise, it is meaningless most of the time especially for minority shareholders.

While for Reit, it is primary judged based on ability to generate income.
Eg.
You may have a property that market value (or NAV) at 1 mil, but you have problem to lease it out, and the property is not only generating zero income but need to incur expenses that resulted in loss.
In this scenario, little investor wants to have this property even at 900k.

Hello,

What is your game plan for REIT?

Aim for 15% gain?

Stable capital growth/minimal growth for long term. 6-7% DY.

Not sure if 15% gain (i assume u mean capital gain) is too greedy haha

Which reit you prefer? Mind share?

Igb sun axis.

With current market weakness, you might want to consider the alternative of putting ur money in some good dividend blue chips instead. Some are having DY as good or better than reits.

Did you sell it accidently ?

can anyone comment on ALAQAR reit? they are all healthcare/hospital related. The yield is low but price is climbing steadily. Healthcare business seems to be very lucrative nowadays, especially private hospitals.

If you think like that better go for IHH and KPJ.

I have 0 M-Reits exposure atm.

The prices of the "usual suspects" Reits have gone up a lot this year and I don't find the current yield of 4+% or low 5% attractive enough, considering the overall economic sentiment. I rather go buy divvy blue chips which can offer nearly the same or better yields and with higher potential capital upside.

So, if I have extra money n I must buy Reits, I will chose either between 2 extremes:

a) the "most solid" REIT, n that's KLCC stapled with a 4.68% DY, strong anchor tenant(Petronas) and low debts levels. I'm pretty certain it can withstand recessions.

Or

b) the small higher risk Reits with 7+% yields like Amanah Raya, , Amfirst or Kip. This is more for an income booster to the portfolio. Of course, i won't put the same amount of money in these Reits compared to KLCC.

The ones in between are not interesting enough IMO.

That's my thinking anyway...

100

well, not 100% because most are in the form of cash, already placed order.

Wondering whether it's a good time to take profit on IGBREIT as it hits a new high recently. But then, after taking profit, not sure where else to invest in such a bloody market....

The y-o-y DPU for both HEKTAR & ARREIT has been declining.

As investors are treating REIT as alternative fixed income instrument, declining income is no-no.

Wow!! I saw a chart in there...

DPU 2017 9.6 sen.

Total DPU received + current share price < 1.51



Got nice dy each year but still losing money....

Higher returns = higher risks

Risks = potential to lose real money

That's has always been the investment game (with the exception  of the fixed price ASx funds.. Haha).

Around 72% 

May i know where can I open an account to buy Reits /shares?
