Are property prices dropping in Hong Kong?
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) focused on property ownership can be a rewarding, income-generating addition to a diversified investment portfolio, offering exposure to commercial, residential, healthcare, or industrial real estate without physical property management burdens. REITs are legally mandated to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends, resulting in attractive dividend yields. However, they remain sensitive to interest rate hikes, as higher borrowing costs and competing bond yields can depress REIT valuations.
