Definition : REITS Real Estate Investment Trusts in Asia

Real Estate Investment Trusts in Asia Author : Scott Carnachan Email: scott.carnachan@deacons.com.hk Tel: +852 2825 9797 (GMT +08:00 hours) Based in: Hong Kong Start : WHAT IS A REIT? A REIT is an investment vehicle that invests in real property, such as office buildings, business parks, shopping malls, hotels and serviced apartments. It normally distributes all or almost all of its net income to investors on an annual or semi-annual basis. Interests in REITs are usually listed and traded on a stock exchange. Investors do not normally have the right to require the REIT to redeem investors interests (in contrast to open-ended mutual funds and unit trusts). REITs can be structured either as a company (as in the US) or as a unit trust (as in Australia). They can either be self-managed (as in the US) or can appoint a third party management company to manage their investments. Most jurisdictions in Asia that have permitted REITs require an external manager. It is also common to appoint a property manager (often a related party of the original property owner) to provide property management services for the properties the REIT owns.

Dear Ong Ling Ling,

It's hard to believe that we are almost into the final quarter of 2004! Now is the time to take a trip away to rest and reinvigorate, or do something adventurous before the distractions of Christmas and New year!

Just log on to our "Latest Promotions" button and you will be spoilt for choice at our hotels and resorts. We also take you away into Ubud's natural habitat in the hills, trek into its padi fields, skip into Jakarta's buzz Cafe, then kick back with our local healer available in ALiLA Manggis and our various art exhibitions under Happenings...

We've also added a choice of desktop wallpapers for your download. Our editor at joyce@alilahotels.com would love to hear your comments, thoughts and ideas. Your feedback helps ALiLA to improve, develop and flourish.

Happy Living!

Forest in the Mist - Destination ALiLA Ubud
Legend has it that long ago Bali was covered in lush forests, disturbed only by cool rivers curving through its valleys. In these forests lived happy spirits, strange wild animals and fantastical creatures. Those who sought spiritual enlightenment were drawn to them as if by magic. It is said that three holy men, or Begawantha, stayed in one of these forests and cultivated the hills and valleys nearby.
