7 Factors to Review
Before Assessing an S-REIT
Gearing · DPU · Debt Maturity
Sponsor · Tenants · Rates

Look beyond the price chart

A Lower Price Does Not Remove the Underlying Risks

Before reaching a decision, distinguish market-price movements from changes in financing, distributions, occupancy and asset quality.

01

Gearing & Coverage

Review aggregate leverage, interest coverage and whether financing pressure is increasing.

Aggregate leverage · ICR
02

Debt Maturity

Check how much debt matures within the next 12–24 months and how much is fixed or hedged.

12–24 month maturity · Fixed-rate debt
03

DPU & Operations

Review whether DPU is supported by recurring operations, occupancy and rental performance.

DPU · Occupancy · Rental reversion
04

Tenants & Concentration

Identify reliance on major tenants, sectors, properties or a single sponsor.

WALE · Tenant mix · Sponsor

A structured research aid
