(Seminar) Navigating 2H2025 Investment Landscape: From Falling Yield to REIT Opportunities in Singapore

  • Post author:

 

With interest rates on Singapore Treasury Bills (T-bills) and Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) falling to multi-year lows, investors are reconsidering how to manage their cash and generate stable returns. Meanwhile, Singapore REITs – despite underperforming US equities over the past three years – are gaining renewed attention as market conditions shift and the interest rate environment evolves. This seminar will examine current trends in safe-yield products, explore alternative cash management strategies, and assess whether now is the right time to pivot into Singapore REITs. Participants will gain practical insights into risks and opportunities ahead, helping them make informed decisions for 2025 and beyond.

You will gain insights on:

• Falling Yields on Safe-Haven Products: Yields on Singapore Treasury Bills (T-bills) and Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) have declined to multi-year lows, with 6-month T-bills falling below 2% and SSBs offering an average of around 2.49%. As these rates become less competitive prompting investors to seek alternative options for parking with cash.

• Where to Park Your Money Now: Explore how recent rate cuts impact REITs and what they mean for investors seeking better returns

• Singapore REITs: Although Singapore REITs have underperformed US equities in recent years, they are showing signs of recovery in 2025, supported by resilient fundamentals, attractive valuations, and dividend yields around 6%. Amid global uncertainty and interest rate sensitivity, investors should focus on REITs with strong balance sheets, low gearing, and sustainable distributions to balance risk and opportunity.
