CapLand 52-W Highs: Are SREIT ETFs Smart Play?

Singapore’s REIT market has been shining in 2025. For Singapore investors, REITs have long been synonymous with steady cash flow and high dividends. With Singapore’s tax advantages, REIT ETFs could become an even more important tool for long-term portfolio allocation. Do you think it’s safer to buy individual REITs or go with ETFs? If you could only pick one REIT ETF, which would you choose—and why? With S-REITs hitting new highs, would you still chase now, or wait for a pullback? How do you think a Fed rate cut would impact REITs?

🌟🌟🌟I am so happy that $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ has just hit its 52 week high today at SGD 2.28.    Capitaland Integrated Commercial Trust isn't just a REIT, it is The REIT.  It holds the crown as Singapore's largest REIT by market capitalisation, with Assets Under Management of SGD 17.26 billion. What it means :  I own a piece of the benchmark as CICT is the anchor of the iEdge SReit Index and a heavyweight in the ST Index.  When institutions want exposure to Singapore's commercial real estate, they start with CICT. Market Leadership equals Stability.  Its size gives it access to better financing, stronger deal flow and resilience in downturns. CICT owns and manages the best commercial real estate in Sing

CapitaLand’s Rally Tests Investors: Are S-REIT ETFs the Best Way to Play 2025?

$CapitaLandInvest(9CI.SI)$ Singapore’s REIT (S-REIT) market has entered 2025 with renewed vigor. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) and CapitaLand Ascendas REIT, two of the largest and most liquid trusts on the SGX, have surged to fresh 52-week highs, reflecting both local and global investor optimism about the sector. REITs have always been a cornerstone of Singaporean investing—valued for steady cash flow, generous dividend payouts, and the country’s unique tax advantages. But the rally raises critical questions. With valuations climbing, are S-REITs still attractive buys? Should investors pick individual names like CapitaLand Ascendas or Mapletree Logistics—or does it make more sense to go with broad-based S-REIT ETFs that spread r

Have been buying individual reits and not ETFs as can learn more on different reits. Took profits selling CICT last year and used funds for other stocks. Okay with small profits and Tiger is glad too with more transactions.
1. I think both are safe to buy as Singapore reits are safe and give high dividends. 2. I will choose $CSOP iEdge SREIT ETF S$(SRT.SI)$ as it is giving out high dividend. I had already bought some. 3. I will still buy now. 4. US cut nterest rate, the reits will even going up to the highest record.

Singapore’s REIT market has performed strongly in 2025, with CapLand IntCom T reaching a 52-week high and S-REIT ETFs delivering solid returns averaging around 10.7% over the past year. Choosing between individual REITs and REIT ETFs depends on your preference for active stock-picking versus diversification. Individual REITs vary widely by property type and sensitivity to rental cycles and interest rates, which can complicate selection. REIT ETFs offer broader diversification, stable dividends, and reduce single-asset risk, making them a smart choice for investors seeking less hands-on management. If I had to pick one, LION-Phillip S-REIT ETF remains a strong option for size and yield, while UOB APAC Green REIT ETF impresses with sustainability and performance. With prices near highs, I’d
buy individual S REITS is good. higher gains than the ETF. For me, I got both. Start buying REITS now, they are going to go up once rates cut in the next year, starting from Sep.
I think safer to buy ETF. but there are a few  laggards in there too, so be careful.

For me, both are also safer, but I prefer to buy individual REITS such as  $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ , $Keppel(BN4.SI)$

For Singapore REITs I think we can likely take abit more risk to cherry pick since most top20 REITs are quite safe. But buying a whole basket etf is definitely still safer to me

Q&A for Singapore REITs Investment Forum at SGX on Tuesday

For those who are unable to attend the forum, I summarise the Q&A in panel discussion below: Bridging the Confidence Gap: How Overseas-Focused REITs Can Win Investor Trust I think the biggest challenge for overseas-focused REITs is really about familiarity and trust. When investors look at local REITs, they can easily relate to the assets – they know the malls, the offices, they can see them. With overseas assets, that familiarity gap creates concerns around asset quality, local regulations, and even currency risks. What I’ve seen work well is when REITs make a conscious effort to bridge that gap with education and transparency. For example, some REITs conduct detailed virtual tours, regular property updates, and even case studies on key tenants so investors feel they can “se

Introduction $Apple(AAPL)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ Amazon …… many of us, especially younger investors, are drawn to these US Stocks, known for their stellar performance over the years. The S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of 10.33% since 1957 (Investopedia). However, did you know that owning these stocks directly as a non-U.S. person (like us) can trigger a significant tax burden upon death?
