The top five performing S-Reits in January
In January, S-Reits posted 7.1% in total returns (based on the iEdge S-Reit Index) and booked net institutional fund inflows of S$3.2 million, outpacing STI’s 3.5% total returns.
The US Federal Reserve at the Feb 1 FOMC meeting anchored to a 25 basis point (bps) hike instead of a 50bps hike, which saw 10-year US Treasury yields decline to around 3.5%.
Expectations of a slower pace of interest rate increases this year could affect market sentiment towards sectors which are more sensitive to interest rates, such as Reits.
Within the STI, all seven S-Reits in the index outperformed the STI’s 3.5% total returns for January.
