Money and Me: Inflation and Your REIT Investment

About this episode

The episode discusses how inflation impacts REIT investments and explores key performance indicators for new investors.

Inflation is squeezing wallets - but could it quietly boost your REIT returns? Michelle Martin sits down with Willie Keng, Founder of Dividend Titan ( https://www.dividendtitan.com/ ), to unpack how rising costs could reshape the financing vehicles that REITS are. From CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust’s strategic pivot to Paragon, to CapitaLand Ascendas Trust’s resilient 6% yield, we explore what’s really driving performance. How can we determine when REITS are likely to find inflation more of a foe than a friend?  We also break down the three key areas new REIT investors may need to check in on every quarter.
