FTSE REIT Index Chart

The previous chart on FTSE ST REIT index can be found in the last post: [Singapore REIT Fundamental Comparison Table](https://mystocksinvesting.com/singapore-reits/singapore-reits-monthly-update-october-8th-2023) on October 8th, 2023.

The following is the compilation of 38 Singapore REITs with colour-coding of the Distribution Yield, Gearing Ratio and Price to NAV Ratio.

- The Financial Ratios are based on past data and these are lagging indicators.
- All REITs except Cromwell European REIT have the latest Q3 2023 update values.
- I have introduced weighted average (weighted by market cap) to the financial ratios, in addition to the existing simple average ratios. This is another perspective where smaller market cap REITs do not disproportionately affect the average ratios.

**Top 20 Worst Performers of October 2023**

![10 Nov 2023 - Top 20 Worst Performers of Oct 2023](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10%20Nov%202023%20-%20Top%2020%20Worst%20Performers%20of%20Oct%202023.png?width=812&height=820&name=10%20Nov%202023%20-%20Top%2020%20Worst%20Performers%20of%20Oct%202023.png)

**SG 10-Year & US 10-Year Government Bond Yield**

- SG 10 Year: 3.13% (increased from 3.47%)
- US 10 Year: 4.66% (increased from 4.80%)

![10 Nov 2023 - SG and US Yield Spread](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10%20Nov%202023%20-%20SG%20and%20US%20Yield%20Spread.png?width=1577&height=565&name=10%20Nov%202023%20-%20SG%20and%20US%20Yield%20Spread.png)

**Summary**

The past month has been an average month for S-REITs, after 2 bearish months and mass selling in the REIT Sectors due to the spike in 10 years of government bond yield and yield spread compression. However, fundamentally the whole Singapore REITs landscape remains **extremely undervalued** based on the average Price/NAV (at 0.71) value of the S-REITs, with still a very attractive DPU yield of**9.57%!** (Weighted average yield of **6.68%**). Do take note that NAV and DPU are lagging numbers.

Weighted Average Yield spread (in reference to the 10-year Singapore government bond yield of 3.13% as of 10th November 2023) narrowed slightly from **4.36% to 4.40%.** The Fed Rate has however adjusted its forecast upwards, expecting to keep its Fed Rate high (5.25% to 5.50% band) for longer until Q2, 2024.

![10 Nov 2023 - CME FedWatch Tool 150%](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10%20Nov%202023%20-%20CME%20FedWatch%20Tool%20150%25.png?width=726&height=372&name=10%20Nov%202023%20-%20CME%20FedWatch%20Tool%20150%25.png)

Technically, the FTSE ST REIT Index has broken the Oct 2022's support and heading towards the next support level at about 600 (Mar 2020's low). The current sentiment in the S-REIT sector is bearish and oversold.
