In time of uncertainties, investors usually looking for some certainty.
Capital Guarantee Investments perhaps work better with today investment climates. , the uncertainty and slower economy.
A good asset class when comes to asset/risk allocations. A good wealth protection tool.
It is my personal opinion that Capital Guarantee has a better capital protection than REITS , though not actually comparing apple with apple. The returns could be equally attractive as REITs on papers, actual performances may vary from one fund manager to another. Withholding tax on reits are quite high.
But for a period of 2 to 3 years is rather short for Capital Guarantee investment standard, especially for Maybank where the track records are lacking ( they sound too bullish )
just to clarify, the withholding tax for REIT at fixed at 15%. the word 'HIGH' would depends on how high you are tax(your tax bracket).Capital Guarantee Investments perhaps work better with today investment climates. , the uncertainty and slower economy.
