Paul Huang asked 1 year ago

Hi, Doing research on REITs now. For the business quadrant portion of the checklist, there is a question: Majority of foreign assets and income exposed to currency fluctuations? (if yes, avoid unless hedged) How can I check if the REITs assets are exposed to currency fluctuations? Is there a specific section of the annual report I should be zooming into? Thanks! Paul

Hi Paul, If you see properties that are based outside of Singapore, then there is a forex risk. Some REIT may have the assets breakdown by geography in the annual report or their financial result presentation. That will give you an idea on their overseas exposure. You can give it a try!
