I discussed a lot on the Reits sector towards the end of previous year (Click Here) and then updated them again early this year (Click Here), especially on the sensitivity risk towards rising interest rate environment, and thought it is a good time to review the sectors again after some serious correction during the past couple of months.
Many people who looked at Reits often do very minimal research on the companies because most of the times they are looking at trailing facts. This includes looking at trailing earnings and dividends yield, current gearing ratio and present price to book value and then they start making decision based on that. The forward looking portion is often ignored, which is what successful investors should be projecting and analysing on, especially with information that are not so apparent to retail investors.
