I find it interesting that the 10 year India Govt bond yield is > 8% now.

kat,
Numbers means a lot but I seldom makes my decision based on numbers.
For AIT, I think like this:
1. NAV - since IPO till now, did AIT really losing so much of their value/asset? or did they increasingly beef up their holdings?
2. exchange rate - This does not bother me as majority of my assets are in Sing$. It will be interesting to see when the tidal wave change.
Nick highlighted the benchmark for AIT. In my mind, I picture Philip Yeo crunching his fist and fighting hard to meet the tall order...
Of course, I wish him luck but if he can not do it, doesn't matters, at least he tried....

Hi Chialc, Philip Yeo is not holding an executive position in AIT.
Hi Kopikat, it was just pure luck and not any intended timing on my end =)
When I first got in, the yield was still reasonable and the debt was low. Now it has little debt headroom left and forex has worked against it despite wat I feel are good efforts to grow the distributable income in INR terms. Alas, my outlook is pessimistic for the next 12 mths, and I suspect Reits with high debts will start issuing new equity a la 2008. So thot I'd take the minor capital loss and add to my cash pile first. Who'd have guessed AIT would do a placement this soon...

Ascendas India Trust recorded a distribution per unit (income available for distribution) of 1.15 Singapore cents for the fourth quarter ended March, down 21 per cent year-on-year.
DPU (income to be distributed) however, was 1.04 Singapore cents, following the trustee-manager Ascendas Property Fund Trustee's decision to retain 10 per cent of distributable income.
This is 29 per cent lower than the 1.46 Singapore cents recorded a year ago.
In conjunction with a private placement of new units on Oct 9, an advance distribution for the period Oct 1-8 was paid out.
