BT Mark to Market: Winning with Reits in 2024 (Ep 39)
If a broad recovery for the many Reits and property trusts listed in the Singapore market is expected after the Fed cuts its rates in 2024, why is Ben Paul not so sure?
How can Singapore’s Reits and property trusts adjust to the “new normal” of higher interest rates and slower growth? Especially since the outlook for economic growth - after all the monetary policy tightening that took place over the last two years - is rather uncertain. Ben Paul has some suggestions.
