Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) - Comfori Conference 2016


BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM

Malaysian property investments have becoming less attractive these days due to the skyrocketing prices and also the various cooling measures implemented by the authorities. This has set many people from the middle and lower income groups back from buying their first home or investing in property. However, despite the challenging operating environment, Malaysia’s real estate investment trust (REIT) managed to record positive growth in 2015, as it has caught up with the trend and has used the model of both the US and Australia in their own form of REIT. The good thing about REIT investing in Malaysia is that it has brought a good amount of profits for its investors for the past few years. Investors now have an option to invest in REITs by paying only a fraction of the real estate prices. In other words, REITs provide a way to invest in quality large-scale commercial real estate without having to buy the properties directly. REITs typically offer attractive distribution yields, and have relatively low risk and conservatively managed stocks.

According to CIMB Investment Bank Bhd’s research arm (CIMB Research), all types of REITs managed to record positive revenue and earnings growth last year, even in the challenging operating environment due to the GST implementation and weak consumer sentiment, while for 2016, analysts believe that the sector will be driven by positive rental reversions, with one of the key drivers being asset enhancement activities undertaken in 2015.

The Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Conference 2016 convenes a distinguished set of speakers and panellists who will shed light on the opportunities and challenges facing the real estate industry as well as the prospects of making room for Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) which is regarded as one unique sector and remains relatively unscathed in the midst of ringgit volatility, unexciting stock market and global economic downturn.
