Take both lah if wish to, then no headache. haha. 

In good time, Axreit will perform better than Atrium because of liquidity issue and more fund managers can chase after it. For liquidity issue, Axreit and Stareit is preferred.
But Atrium will have higher yield because of higher risk compared to Axreit, as Atrium's warehouse is tailored made for its tenants, so if tenants don't renew their lease then there are some expenses need to be spend to modify its warehouses.

It is about risk/reward ratio, higher risk high yield its offered. With net yield At 9.5% is very tempting, no doubt about it but Axreit isn't low either at around 7.9%. If gov decide to reduce the witholding tax which this industry has been lobbying since last year, but gov rejected, so this year only a remote chance only, then yield can be much higher. Gov needs to reduce the witholding tax in order to lure more people into it especially for foreigners now at 20% which is considerably high in regional standard especially compared with Singapore.

But downside currently for reit is potential high interest expenses on their loan due to potential higher interest rate.

Buy on your own risk, not mean to recommend any one of them.

Btw, I got both of it.

i recommend 1/3 of axreit , stareit and atrium each .

aiseh man. this is easy la JORDY.

if atrium dont come back down to 0.75, the obviouse choice is to add up to AXREIT @1.61 ...

anyway, i advise u to have at least half of each. so go get AXIS

at the moment i have

90000 unit ATRIUM @ 0.94
50000 unit AXIS @1.67

If I were you, I would add up on Axreit first as my style is always only average down if there is signficant gap between. Anyway just my preference only, doesn't necessary a right way to do.

But wait, those purchased price already being given previous distribution already or not, aka already take some distirubtion in the pocket already?

Atrium has a nice run up from the 0.75 level. 

Bought Axreit 1.60. 

Afternoon session all only done 1.60, so settled for 1.60. There is a big Q of 1,000+ on 1.59.

Drop further buy again. 

Personally, I never care much how much can I average down. I care how much they are giving me every year in term of dividend yield/distribution in term of yield.
I never look at my average cost, I treat every purchse individually. Just like I bought 10K of share of Axreit at 1.60, then this 10K cost is 1.60, while another 10K was bought at 1.70 then it is 1.70. It is much easier. Just my perference.

Reach 2.00 or 2.+ (hopefully) then all sell together in longer future time. Even sell at cost, also gain because it is much better than putting in FD as every year take more than 7% already. That's how I treat them.

I have this kind of mindset because I set up or invest in those stocks in order to have passive income as compared money put in FD, while capital appreciation is almost impossible to be predicted when it will happen or not, when they do go up, I treat is as bonus. The other way round than you.   

That's why I look for those fundamental sound that can deliver consistently throughout years. This is why also I find very hard to buy Airasia (zero dividend) although interested in it because of low price recently. Also historical proves that dividend stocks always outshine growth stock over the long term generally (although not all), mainly because growth stocks tend to tumble quite heavily when economy perform poorly time.

But we have the same aim, making more money. Haha.

May i know how to start invest in REIT ?

Equities = go broker house such as TA , MaybankInvest , OSK188 , Heong Leong , CIMB and so on .

REIT = go where register ?

How to know which stocks is REIT ? Is it all of the REIT under MESDAQ ?

Last week my 1.60 bought on AXreit can buy me a Tai Thong dinner already.   

Yup, if annualised distribution is 14.8. You calculation basically right.

It has proposed a private placement of 120 million new share.

wei... stop diluting my favourite reit stock lar ...

edited to add ... okaylar, u can dilute but make sure my dividend go up up up. and give bonus shares to existing holder from the 120 million

The money raised will be used to reduce the borrowing and possible newer acquistion. New acquisition might lead to higher earning ahead to minimise the dilution while making it more diversify and more sizeable to attract instituitional investors particularly foreign investors. In Reits, size does matter to attract instituition investors and foreign fund managers.
At time being, Malaysia reits still consider very small in size compared to overseas. You need some reit size that at least more than 1 billions and above to attract large instituitional investors and foreign fund managers.

In the view of reduce borrowing, it is good for the company if future interest rate is going to rise. But dilution might be a disadvantage for the existing shareholders. But if those private placement is being placed out at higher price (buyers willing to take at high price) that it can be view as positive factor as well.
I think they will reduce the borrowing in order to have more spare capacity in term of gearing for future new acquisiton. My opinon only.

Normally, private placement will be placed at an average market price.

So only time will tell how it will affect and the dilution situation. Previously the 50 millions private placement is not reducing or diluting the existing shareholder yield instead it increased the earning from the new acquisition made.

In the future, monitor how the dilution or precisely the EPS or distribution per share, if the yield is still staying at roughly 7 or 7% above, while FD rate stay stagnant then I find not much reason to sell it, but if dilution problem occur resulted lower EPS then might consider to sell it if FD rate is going to rise (which I highly doubt it would be more than 0.5%)
No, private placement mean private already mah.   

Yes you are right. If the company management is doing like as you said, then they are not doing a good job at all.

anyone know when is the ex-date for axreit?

I checked with my broker though, she mention that Amfirst has no history of issuing dividend so i chicken out last minute. Instead queue for Atrium and Axreit but both transaction also no takers due to unexpected market uptrend.  miss boat again.
