Key Takeaways of the Real Estate Sector
1.       Interest rate hike cycle
     −      Post 3 rate hikes in 2017, Federal Reserve raised rates again in March 2018 and expects 2 more hikes for rest of 2018. A
            potential headwind for REITs and physical Real Estate demand?

2.       Residential property prices stabilising, and home affordability lowest amongst peers
     −      Private residential market saw 15 consecutive quarters of price decline (post government measures), the longest since
            2004. 3Q17 saw the first uptick at +0.7% q-o-q with another +0.8% q-o-q in 4Q17. Full-year 2017 price +1.1% y-o-y.
     −      Singapore’s property household affordability at 4.8x* (4.4x incl. HDB), lowest amongst key gateway cities average of >10x.

3.       Commercial, Industrial and Hospitality segments still weak
     −      Commercial and Industrial segments continue to face headwinds but supply peaking in 2017. Demand/supply dynamic to
            likely normalize from 2018 onwards.
     −      In the Hospitality segment, Singapore’s hotel RevPar declined 4.6% y-o-y on elevated supply and larger proportion of
            budget tourists, despite +7.7% y-o-y visitor arrivals in 2016.

4.       Property developers valuations lower than historical mean
     −      Singapore property developers currently trading (current PB of 0.76x) below historical mean PB of 0.82x and close to the -1
            standard deviation

5.       Largest cluster of SREITs in Asia (ex Japan)
     −      SGX’s SREITs cluster is largest in Asia (ex Japan) with consistently higher dividend yields of 6.0%. SREITs have an average
            gearing of 33%, offering stable exposure into foreign assets (more than 70% owning offshore assets).
