Chase for yields sends S-Reits on a bull ride this year

IT has been such a good year for Singapore real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) that some are wondering if their upside will last much longer.
Several brokerages have shifted from their "buy" calls earlier this year. CGS-CIMB downgraded the sector to "neutral" in its Nov 19 report, citing diminishing prospects after the US Federal Reserve signalled a potential end to further rate cuts; UBS in its 2020 outlook described S-Reits as "rather pricey".
