August 2015, APN August Newsletter

The rapid emergence of Asia’s middle class will bring far-reaching changes and commercial real estate is well-positioned to benefit.

According to an OECD estimate, the global middle class¹ will grow to 4.9 billion people by 2030, from 1.8 billion in 2009. Two-thirds of these people (3.3 billion) are expected to reside in Asia, up from 28% in 2009. The expansion of service industries and ongoing urbanisation will see Asia housing 21 of the world’s 37 mega-cities by 2025. With urbanisation, comes the rising demands of middle class consumption, that in turn drives the need for real estate.

The APN Asian REIT Fund has already been a beneficiary of the growth in Asia,delivering an impressive total return of 19.53% pa² since inception.

In this month’s newsletter we look at Asian REITs and how they can enhance a diversified portfolio. We also summarise the benefits of the new Singapore REIT rules and how the changes will impact the REIT market in Singapore.
