And i was daring to subscribe to them all. Some of the Reits, i even dare to subscribe for "extra rights issue". It was done with much trepidation and sickening feelings in the stomach. Now what about those who at that time had no or much capital reserve. i was sure their holdings were diluted then or forced to sell.
In the real world, things wear and tear. If you pay out
your income without upkeep, things will go down.
Only thing keeping asset prices is rising asset prices. If
Asset prices goes south, income cannot mitigate asset deflation
and depreciation. Then that when they ask shareholders to cough up.
So be wary and be prepared if you want to invest in REITS. Though it's nice to have regular DPUs.
Vested in Keppel DC & SPH Reits now.
