Will do! Thank you so much!

Only time for one! We may cover a Mapletree REIT soon!

Swag 😎

Thanks Vincent! Yes, we monitor other REITs as well. It really all depends on your financial goals and risk profile. For us we have a larger allocation in stock, but REITs still form a tidy bit of our portfolio.

WeWork only accounts for ~2% of CICT's total gross rental income.

when people like you are scared, its time to buy.

Good question! Here's what the research points to: "Although interest rates certainly affect real estate values and, therefore, the performance of REITs, rising interest rates do not necessarily lead to poor returns. Since the early 1970s, there have been six periods during which 10-Year U.S. Treasury Bond yields rose significantly. In four of those six periods, U.S. REITs earned positive total returns, and in half of those periods, U.S. REITs outperformed the S&P 500. "Rising interest rates present challenges for REITs. All else being equal, elevated interest rates tend to diminish property values and raise borrowing costs for REITs. Additionally, the comparatively high dividend yields offered by REITs become less appealing compared to lower-risk fixed income securities, reducing their attractiveness for income-seeking investors. "While a more in-depth study would be necessary to determine why REITs generally perform well in rising interest rate environments, it is evident that such rate increases are correlated with other factors that positively impact REIT fundamentals. For instance, rising interest rates often coincide with economic growth and increasing inflation, both of which are likely to benefit real estate investments. Robust economic growth typically leads to higher demand for real estate and increased occupancy rates, bolstering REIT earnings, cash flow, and dividends. During inflationary periods, real estate owners typically have the flexibility to raise rents, and historical data shows that REIT dividend growth surpasses the rate of inflation as a result." www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/the-impact-of-rising-interest-rates-on-reits.pdf We simply view the current drop as an opportunity to buy high-quality REITs that are able to maintain/increase their rents during this period; CICT being one example here.

WeWork contributes ~2% of gross rental income, so the impact is minimal. CICT should have no problems finding new tenants.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider this.

We prefer to select our own REITs. But ETFs are an option for a passive investor.

Thank you for your reply 🙏
