How To Assess REIT.....My Way

REIT also known as Real Estate Investment Trust. With the concept like Unit Trust by gather pool of money from all sizes of investors. REIT companies will invest, manage and distribute rental as dividend back to the investors.

Above are some of the useful information about REITs sector. One may assess them by looking at thier dividend yield (DY column) or the NAPS/NAV value to a particular REITs. Particularly, by looking at these two fields will somehow gauge whether it is worst investing but of course the dimension would not limit upto here. There maybe other factors affecting the value of REITs, one most important and particular factor is the sustainable rental income, as this will directly impact/contribute to your Distribution Per Unit (DPU)/Dividend you  received at the end of the day. REITs major incomes is rental income and it is required to distribute most of its profit as dividend to its holders. Malaysian REITs have a tendency to distribute at least 90% of its taxable profit as DPU/Dividend. If you are trying to find a good investment tool for your long term retirement plan. Do consider REIT. REIT will be attractive with a fair risk to be tolerated in compare to Fixed Deposit.

I am a lazy bum, i look for the most yield in term of dividend. So, take a look at the table, at one glance ATRIUM seem to provide the best DY and trading about 15% discount of it NAV. It provide good indicative for a longterm investment. There, at point of writting this, i possess some cake of this counter at a price of 76sen, coincidentally same price as my HEKTAR that i bought them since a year ago. here

 

If you are lazy as me, just take some time to calculate at what discount price the REITs are currently trading with it NAV and pick the DY that you are more comfortable with. There you go buy them and lock them in your safe.
