2022 started with global markets turning volatile in the first quarter due to risks over inflation, rising rates and geopolitical risks. Uncertainty remains at elevated levels and steering through this perilous market seems unnerving. With this backdrop, investors are seeking for asset classes that provide both resiliency and income. One particular asset class that fits these requirements is REITs.
REITs investments are often favoured for their income potential and have a relatively low correlation to other asset classes. This makes it a good diversification tool and a good hedge against inflation, especially so in the current markets. At the same time on the ESG front, with increasing demand for sustainable buildings and practices, there is an expected increase in rents and capital gains for green buildings. Giving rise to unique green investment opportunity.
Join us to find out how green real estate investment trusts (REITs) have delivered enhanced operating performance, and how to ride on such opportunities for stable income and capital gains.
