The Federal Reserve is set to cut interest rates in September. In a low-interest-rate environment, the return on fixed-income assets declines, making REITs, with their relatively higher dividend yields, more attractive by comparison.
Higher Yield: Compared to other financial instruments, S-REITs typically offer higher dividend yields. According to data, the average dividend yield for S-REITs is 7.1%, significantly higher than the yield on Singapore government bonds.
Regular Income: S-REITs usually distribute dividends quarterly or semi-annually, providing investors with a steady cash flow. Since S-REITs hold and operate real estate assets, which typically generate stable rental income, investors can enjoy consistent dividend payouts.
Tax Benefits: The Singapore government offers favorable tax treatment to S-REITs. REITs that invest in Singapore real estate can enjoy tax transparency by distributing at least 90% of their taxable income to unit holders, thereby avoiding double taxation. Additionally, investors in REIT ETFs can also benefit from tax advantages, making REIT investments even more attractive.
