One of the key criteria for my watch list is the Gearing Ratio due to my low risk appetite. I do not like to have heart attack because I want my invested capital to be protected and prevent me from suffering a big drop due to right placement. In addition, a sudden hike in interest will have a knee jerk effect on the REIT with high gearing ratio.
