What does this mean for your portfolio?
If you’re considering a second property, it is important to consider Singapore’s changing demographics amid an ageing population and tighter manpower policies. These factors may weigh on the longer-term demand and rental yield for residential properties. Looking beyond property, the right mix of assets can help to manage risks and overall portfolio risk-reward ratios.

We like these:
Retail S-REITs
Based on our analysis, returns on assets like REITs offer more compelliing returns than that of a second property.
We believe retail S-REITs like Frasers Centrepoint Trust with its portfolio of suburban malls are well-anchored against the current tightened measures. We also like Mapletree Commercial Trust for its dominant mall positioning, stable earnings and strong tenant profile.
Industrial S-REITs
Industrial S-REITs are also a choice sector given their multi-year pivot into new economy assets.
Having been on the growth trajectory over the past few years, we believe that Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust , given its enlarged portfolio, can continue to dream big.
