Time to Revisit REITs as the Interest Rate Hike Cycle Approaches to an End

Link CEO George Hongchoy discusses the opportunity of investing in REITs under current market condition.

Following market volatility over recent years, more Mainland investors are seeking investment stability and tend to accept lower rate of return. In view of their prevailing trailing average yield, Hong Kong-listed REITs seem to provide additional good investment options for Mainland Chinese investors if the Stock Connect scheme extends to cover REITs.
