Many have told me that I am playing with fire investing in the REITs that I do and by now, regular readers would know how I would reply to them.
Some who do invest in REITs tell me that they only invest in "blue chip" REITs because these have strong "blue chip" sponsors and more likely to survive a downturn. They would still avoid the REITs I am invested in. I don't have a problem with that.
I just read this in The EDGE:
"Moody’s Investors Service said it has a stable outlook for Singapore Real-Estate Investment Trusts. However, stress tests show CapitaMall Trust, Suntec REIT, Mapletree Logistics Trust, and K-REIT run the most risk of exceeding Moody’s expected leverage parameters in the event of a downward revaluation of properties, the ratings company said in a statement, reported Bloomberg."
Some say just invest in all things ......
