SMDAM Asia-Pacific REIT (ex. Japan) Strategy Introduction: Attractiveness of Asia-Pacific REITs

■ This strategy is to invest in Asia-Pacific REITs (ex. J-REITs) with higher dividend yields than those of other regions by bottom up REIT stock selection.

■ We believe the REITs in Asia have huge growth potential as they are relatively young investment vehicles and expected to keep growing with big trend of “Asian growth and urbanization”. Property needs in Asian big cities will keep growing by urbanization and immigration.

■ We believe that Asia-Pacific REIT strategy is a good investment idea to keep enough liquidity of the portfolio and investment opportunities. Combined investments in Australian REITs with large market caps and Asian REITs with higher dividend yields offer a useful investment vehicle.
