Ever dreamed of owning a piece of Singapore's iconic skyline—from Orchard Road malls to CBD office towers—but don't have millions to invest? This episode unlocks the accessible world of Singapore Real Estate Investment Trusts (S-REITs), the powerful tool that allows everyday investors to participate in the large-scale property market.
In this comprehensive guide, we deconstruct the S-REIT landscape for 2025. We start with the fundamentals: what exactly is an S-REIT, how does its unique structure generate high dividend yields, and what are the key differences between investing in REITs versus buying a physical property? We then provide a practical, step-by-step playbook for beginners on how to open the right accounts and execute your first trade.
For those looking to build a robust portfolio, we equip you with an analyst's toolkit, breaking down essential metrics like gearing ratio, price-to-book value, occupancy rates, and rental reversion. We also conduct a deep dive into the core sectors—Retail, Office, and Industrial—analyzing their performance drivers and forward-looking outlook in a changing interest rate environment. Finally, we explore the frontier of the market, from the rise of co-living as an institutional asset class to the market-moving impact of 'en bloc' sales.
Whether you're looking to generate your first stream of passive income or a seasoned investor seeking to refine your strategy, tune in to gain the confidence and analytical framework needed to navigate the S-REIT market.
