Etsuro Akiyama is interviewed by Takahiro Ueno about his strategy and the prospects for exploiting the region’s real estate potential
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asia Pacific region is proving to be resilient for investors looking to capitalise on its structural growth. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) remain in favourable territory protected by relatively high yields and stable dividends. Their relative stability and the higher visibility of dividends in the REIT sector has helped them outperform the overall market during periods of rate cuts and slow economic growth. As economies and trade continues to recover we believe the region’s real estate investment trusts will prove alluring to investors seeking an income generating alternative asset class.
Central Banks are expected to continue at a time when yield orientated assets are under yet more pressure, investors would be wise to re-assess the case for Asian real estate securities.
