FCOT's report has caught my attention because its yield increases dramatically to 7.81% which is very close to 8%. Moreover, it has office assets which at least half is in Singapore with stable valuation. Even its Australian assets are quite stable. Only those in Japan are unpredictable. In any case, its price-to-book value is one of the lowest which makes it very attractive.
The only problem is its gearing which is very high (excluding CPPU) I am excluding CPPU because it really depends on whether they want to convert it into shares which currently is still not favourable.
I believe that F&N will not let this REIT fall under because their reputation are at stake. Therefore, FCOT should have enough support to at least sustain their current status. Thus, its NAV which is at $1.34, should be quite secured.
I am considering this carefully to see whether I want to invest in it. It has the potential to become one of my anchor investments. (Price has to be right.)
