Mapletree Commercial Trust

Haha, well if you compare to previous REITs yes the yield is low, but then again it still trumps inflation hands down, so that may still attract investors. After all, F&N and SIA bonds are only paying half the yield.....

The recent REITs listed were all industrial REITs: S'bana, MIT, CLT.

MCT is a retail/office REIT which typically yields lower than industrial REITs.

Here's some of the current listed retail/office REIT yield for comparison:

Source: SGX REIT Data as of 7 Apr 11

Starhill Gbl: 6.556%
FrasersCommercial: 6.938%
CMT: 5.032%
Suntec: 6.095%

It's already pretty obvious that many here does not find the REIT an appealing proposition; but that not entirely surprised as many are anti-REIT in the first place.

Well to each his own. I'm definitely going for this one.
