Many claim that sReits feel like stocks, but it’s very misleading. There are penny stocks; there are hot growth stocks; there are speculative stocks; there are dividend cash cows; there are blue-chip (but low dividend) stocks.
I guess some of the sReits are like low-growth dividend stocks.
— Sam outlined 3 main types of REITs in Singapore
- Commercial – highest risk, highest return — around 7-8%
- Shopping malls
- Office building
Usually 5%+ return, definitely higher than bank deposit.
In a typical sREIT listed on the stock market, the quoted price may not change a lot, but share holders get dividends quarterly, semi-annually etc.
Recommended amount — S$5k
