OVERWEIGHT On REITs Sector

• Upcycle yield spreads indicate 23% upside potential. Top

BUYs: AREIT, FLT, CCT and FHT

• Opportunity to invest in REITs at attractive levels as Fed rate

hike expectations dampens share prices

• Singapore Yield Spreads Remain Most Attractive Regionally at

3.88%

• Fixed-rate Debt And Longer Maturities To Mitigate Interest

Impact

• Meagre supply of industrial business park space

• Prefer diversified, deep value REITs with exposure to the

Business Park and Hospitality segments.

Singapore Yield Spreads Remain Most Attractive In The

stands at 2.09%.

• We are currently

factoring in a risk-

free rate of 2.5%.

US Fed Rate Hikes: A Sense of Deja Vu

• Positive US REIT and S-

REIT returns during rate

hike cycles, with the US

REITs (FTSE NAREIT All

Equity Total Return Index)

doubling from mid-04 to

end-06 when US FFTR

rose 425bp from 1% to

5.25%.

• US REITs also gained 3%

during the previous rate

hike cycle in mid-99 to mid-

2000 when FFTR rates

were hiked 175bp to 6.5%

from 4.75%

• Historical gap between US

and domestic interest rates

suggests healthy buffer.

Historical Gap Between US And Domestic Interest Rates Suggests

Healthy Buffer

• An existential average

spread of 73bp since 2002

between 10Y Treasuries and

10Y SGS suggests sufficient

headroom before 10Y SGS

yields follow a rise in

Treasury yields.

• Previous muted FFTR rate

hike impact also suggestive.

In 2004, when a 430bp hike

in FFTR only resulted in a

50bp increase in 10Y

Treasuries.

• We note a similar trend

where 3M SIBOR rose over

200bp between mid-04 and

mid-06, while 10Y SGS

yields remained unchanged.

Fixed-rate Debt And Longer Maturities Mitigate Interest Impact

• REITs have largely

locked in 56-99% of

fixed-rate debts.

• Average debt maturity

for S-REITs reached

3.4 years in 4Q16,

approximately double

the debt maturity in

4Q08.

• Longer debt maturities

and high percentage of

fixed-rate debts will

cushion the impact of

rising interest rates.

• S-REITs can opt to

reduce loan tenure

upon refinancing to

benefit from lower

rates for shorter-

duration debt.

Industrial: Business Park Sole Bright Spot

Outlook:

• Business park & high tech segment to benefit from spillover office demand.

• Flattish rental outlook for factory and warehouse as the market absorbs a larger upcoming supply of new space

• Potential revaluation losses for factory / warehouse landlords on supply-side pressure on rents

Key Trends:

• Single-tenanted buildings seeing increasing

multi-tenanted conversions and landlords

grapple with JTC subletting requirements

• Upcoming supply largely pre-committed

• AEI, BTS and redevelopment opportunities

• Increasing overseas acquisitions

• Risks: Older business park occupancies,

further government measures

Office: Early signs of stablization

* UOB-ETR GDP forecast: 2016F: 2.7%,

Source: CBRE, UOB Kay Hian

Office Supply Demand Occupancy

Office Rental Outlook:

•Preleasing activity showing signs of

stabilization.

Key Trends:

•Grade A office rentals have corrected 21.5%

from the peak to S$8.95 psf pm in 1Q17.

•We opine that Grade A rental decline could

fast be approaching a bottom, especially as

qoq declines have been slowing since 3Q16 (-

2.1% qoq), vs qoq declines during 3Q15-2Q16

(-3.5% to -4.8%).

•Upcoming supply concentrated in 2017 with

limited supply beyond 2018.

•Leasing momentum picking up (Marina One

and UIC Building pre-commitments at

approximately 60% and 50% respectively)

•Nascent demand from firms in TMT sector

(Agoda, Amadeus, Netflix, Booking.com,

LinkedIn, Facebook, Avepoint, Quantium).

Limited Supply Beyond 2017

• High supply of commercial space to hit the

market in 2017.

• Marina One (1.9m sf of space in 1Q17), has

seen anchor tenant pre-commitment (Julius

Baer, Virgin Active, Cold Storage, Koufu).

Media reports indicate c.35% pre-

commitment while market intelligence places

it at ~50%

• Research from industry consultant Edmund

Tie & Company (formerly DTZ) show that

Marina Bay rents fell 1.8% qoq to S$10.65psf

pm in 4Q16.

• Beyond 2017, core CBD supply remains

meagre at below 0.84m sf pa (Frasers Tower

and redevelopment projects) which should

underpin a pick-up in rental growth.

Retail: Challenging Retail Climate

Outlook:

• Muted 0-3% rental growth

• Growth drivers from AEI and

acquisitions

Key Trends:

• Rising Risks: Labour curbs, online

retailing, high supply in Jurong East

• Malls continue to undergo AEIs (CMT:

Tampines Mall, Bugis Junction)

• New potential AEIs to drive future

growth. (CMT: Funan, FCT: Northpoint,

Starhill: Plaza Arcade, Suntec: Park

Mall)

• Successful retail concepts expanding

(H&M, Uniqlo, Tim Ho Wan), while new

OVERWEIGHT On REITs Sector

• Upcycle yield spreads indicate 23% upside potential. Top

BUYs: AREIT, FLT, CCT and FHT

• Opportunity to invest in REITs at attractive levels as Fed rate

hike expectations dampens share prices

• Singapore Yield Spreads Remain Most Attractive Regionally at

3.88%

• Fixed-rate Debt And Longer Maturities To Mitigate Interest

Impact

• Meagre supply of industrial business park space

• Prefer diversified, deep value REITs with exposure to the

Business Park and Hospitality segments.

Non-linear Relationship Between REIT And Bond Yields

• Relationship between REIT

yields and bond yields need

not be linear. Eg Jul 03, bond

yields expanded by 180bp to

4.1% while REITs compressed

by 130bp to 7.7%

• REITs are growth vehicles as

well, unlike traditional yield

plays.

• Growth supported by rental

growth, asset enhancements

and acquisitions.

• The STI Index is highly

correlated with the FSTREI

(Property REITs Index),

whereby a 1% increase in the

FSSTI is correlated with a

0.7% increase in the FSTREI.

Interest rate sensitivity

• On 15 Dec, the US Federal Reserve

raised interest rates by another 25bps,

with another three hikes anticipated

for 2017 (probability at 35.5% in Sep

17, according to Fed Funds Futures)

• Financing impact on REITs

minimised due to diversified

funding sources. The average debt

maturity across REITs within coverage

has about doubled to 3.4 years,

implying lower likelihood of near-term

debt refinancing, from the GFC period

of about 1.7 years.

• Longer debt maturities to further

mitigate impact as REIT managers

have actively been tapping debt

markets, eg AREIT and CMT, with

medium-term loans maturing as far

back as 2029 and 2031 respectively.

• Defensive REITs, eg PLife and CMT,

are most sensitive to changes in RFR

as a low-base effect amplifies

sensitivity when yields rise.

exposure (%) B/S or RNAV exposure (%) Remarks

FHT 22% 19% (24% of Europe) FHT has hedged 70-80% of distributions from the UK (policy to

hedge distributions on a 6-month rolling basis).

CDREIT 5% 5% Natural hedging of UK assets would mitigate adverse impact on

At least 30% of full-year foreign income hedged as of 1Q16 (12-

depreciation of the pound will negatively impact earnings by 1.3%.

Hotel: Supply led turnaround in sight

Outlook:

• Expect visitor arrival growth of 3% yoy in 2017.

Retain 2016 growth estimates at 5% yoy, on more

sombre 2H16 visitor arrivals (compared to 1H16),

post the Zika outbreak.

• Occupancy to remain stable at 84-85% level.

• Pressure on room rates to remain due to supply

indigestion

Key Trend:

• Operating data for Singapore hoteliers in Oct

16 still poor, likely in wake of August’s domestic

Zika outbreak (13.4% yoy RevPAR decline).

• Strong growth in Chinese visitors offset by

overall weaker spend on accommodation and

shorter length of stay

• Deterioration in Chinese length of stay

coinciding with sharp increase in cross border

(Malaysia-Singapore) travel by tourists from

China (up 105.4% in 9M16). Source: STB, CBRE, UOB Kay Hian

• Expect overall private housing

vacancy to peak at 11.5% in 2017

before fundamentals begin

improving from 2018 (11.5%

vacancy) to 2020 (10.1%

• Underpinned by tapering private

residential supply. Our forecast

incorporates muted residential

demand of about 8,200 units p.a.

from 2015 to 2020, with

conservative population growth

estimates (1.2% CAGR).

• As of 4Q16, unsold inventory

(including completed units) of

28,557 units was near trough

•Capital values to remain under pressure on lacklustre rental

market, as influx of foreigners show steady decline

•Property prices to fall 15-20% yoy from the peak in 2013.

•Bottoming out in private home prices to hinge on rent

stabilisation

•Watch out for signs of policy easing on immigration, which

could likely happen in 2018

Key Trends:

segment.

•Developers slashing prices and offering creative schemes to

move inventory.

•Rental market remains subdued due to declining foreign

population growth.
