We pointed out that S-REITs has one of the highest yield spreads globally in our previous report. We think the Asian REITs outperformed the non-Asian REITs in terms of yield spreads partly due to higher borrowing costs in the West (consequence of US/European deleveraging) and Australia. S-REITs further edged out other Asian REITs because of its relatively higher capitalization rates. This enables S-REITs to offer DPU yields of ~6% without trading at discount to book .On the other hand, in order to offer DPU yields of ~5%, HK-REITs and J-REITs have to trade at ~0.8x PBR. Our top BUYS remain with the more defensible industrial and retail REITs with total returns of 10%-19%. We think their risk-reward proposition still appear favorable to yield-driven investors. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the overall S-REITs sector. Source: Maybank Kim Eng
