Singapore's retail REIT sector presents a range of investment profiles, from high-yielding counters trading below NAV to larger, highly occupied portfolios with more moderate yields. The six REITs examined — BHG Retail REIT, Sasseur REIT, Landmark REIT, Frasers Centrepoint Trust, United Hampshire US REIT and Starhill Global REIT — differ considerably in terms of yield, valuation, occupancy, WALE, gearing and interest coverage.

These differences are important because a high distribution yield does not necessarily come with lower risk, while a lower yield may be accompanied by stronger occupancy, scale or financing metrics. The comparison therefore highlights the different trade-offs across the retail REIT sector.
