How do REITs make money?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Mainly, REITs make money through <strong>rental income<\/strong> from the real estates that they own and\/or operate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">As an example, IGB REIT\u2019s income is derived from the rental collected from its tenants for both Mid Valley and The Gardens Mall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Why_Invest_in_REITs_%E2%80%93_the_Pros_of_REIT_Investment\"><\/span><span class=\"font-762333\"><strong>(3) Why Invest in REITs? \u2013 the Pros of REIT Investment<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">REITs are especially well-received among people longing for long-term investment for some of the reasons below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"font-850707\">a. High proportion of Income Distribution<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">In order to be qualified as a REIT, companies are required to pay out <strong>at least 90% of its net income as dividend<\/strong> to their investors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Which lead me to my second point\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"font-762333\">b. Attractive Dividend Yield \u2013 making it a great passive income stream<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Due to the dividend payout nature of REITs, dividend yield from REITs is generally better than typical stocks dividend in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">In general, <strong>Malaysian REITs yield a decent <em>5% \u2013 7%<\/em> dividend on a yearly basis<\/strong>. Aside from that, should investors time their entry point properly, they are <strong>also able to enjoy growth from capital appreciation<\/strong> as well. (eg. Buy at RM1.00\/unit.

Exposure to Market Fluctuation<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Unlike conventional real estate investment, publicly listed REITs are also <em>constantly<\/em> <strong>exposed to a certain degree of market fluctuation<\/strong> due to its nature of being listed in the stock market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Meaning, regardless of the fundamental stability of a REIT business, REITs are still prone to a certain degree of price fluctuation in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"font-762333\">c. Change in Portfolios\u2019 Fundamental<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">Similar to conventional real estate investment, REITs also have the risk of having a strong income-producing real estate turning otherwise due to changes in market demand or fundamentals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"font-134980\">As an example, Sungei Wang Plaza (CMMT) and Subang Parade (Hektar REIT) used to be the to-go malls in the 90s, yet the rise of more attractive malls eventually replaced their glory.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/subang-parade-2-1024x670.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68064\" width=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/subang-parade-2-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/subang-parade-2-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/subang-parade-2-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/subang-parade-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Subang Parade &#8211; once known as the longest shopping mall in Southeast Asia.
