Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are funds that invest in a portfolio of income generating real estate assets such as shopping malls, offices or hotels, usually with a view to generating income for unit holders of the fund (i.e. investors of the REITs).
Assets of REITs are professionally managed, and revenues generated from assets (primarily rental income) are normally distributed at regular intervals to investors. REITs allow investors to access real property assets and share the benefits and risks of owning a portfolio of properties.
Units of REITs are bought and sold like other securities listed on SGX at market driven prices.
DLCs
1. DLCs Introduction
Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) are structured financial instruments that offer investors fixed leverage of up to 7 times of the daily performance of the underlying asset (e.g. market indices or single stocks). It has a maximum validity period of 3 years and will be delisted automatically when the value reaches 0. DLCs, which are leveraged products, track the real-time prices of the day, which will have a compounding effect when held for a long period of time and may result in more losses.
For example, if the underlying asset moves by 1% from its closing price of the previous trading day, the value of a 3x DLC will move by 3%, and that of a 7x DLC will move by 7%
