Let’s face it – comparing REITs across reports, PDFs, and spreadsheets is not only time-consuming… it’s outdated.
That’s why we built the REITs Metrics Data & Screener:
A comprehensive tool that gives you access to newly introduced, deeper REIT ratios — sortable, comparable, and all in one view.
No guesswork. No digging. Just clean, updated data to help you make better investment decisions.
How to use the REITs Metrics Data & Screener!
What You’ll See – and What It Means
Here are the new REIT-specific ratios now available across our platform:
| Metric | What It Means & How to Interpret It |
| Gearing % | Measures leverage. Lower is generally better (≤40%), but too low might mean missed growth opportunities (i.e., not using debt effectively). |
| Interest Cover Ratio | Shows how easily the REIT can pay interest on debt. Higher is good (>2×), but very high may signal under-leveraging – not always optimal in a capital-efficient model. |
| Occupancy Rate (%) | Higher occupancy = stable income. Look for >90%, but near 100% isn’t everything – what matters more is rental reversion and tenant quality. |
| WADM (Weighted Average Debt Maturity) | Longer WADM means less refinancing pressure. That’s good, but if it’s too long, the REIT may have locked in older, higher-cost debt. Balance is key. |
| Cost of Debt (%) | Lower cost is generally better. But abnormally low figures may come with trade-offs – e.g., shorter-term debt, floating-rate exposure, or higher risk tolerance. |
| WALE (Weighted Average Lease Expiry) | Long WALE = stability, especially in downturns. But shorter WALE can offer upside if leases renew at higher rents (reversion). Choose based on your risk tolerance. |
| Fixed-Rate Debt % | High % means protection from interest rate hikes. However, 100% fixed may limit flexibility if rates fall in the future. Ideal is a well-managed mix. |
| Rental Reversion (%) | Positive reversion = rental growth. But very high figures might be due to one-off deals or previous low-base rents. Look for consistency, not just spikes. |
| Top 10 Tenant CRI % (Committed Rental Income) | Lower % = better diversification. A higher % isn’t always bad if top tenants are blue-chip or long-term anchors – check tenant quality too. |
| Top 10 Tenant NLA % (Net Lettable Area) | Similar to CRI – lower means less concentration risk. But in niche sectors (like data centres), concentration might be expected. |
*Reminder: Metrics are guides – not gospel. Don’t just pick the “highest” or “lowest” number. Understand the context, compare across REITs, and look for balance.
How to Use the REITs Metrics Data & Screener
Step 1: Choose Where to Start
There are three places to access the new REITs Metrics:
i. Stock Prices – REITs Metrics (NEW)
Click here
See all SGX-listed REITs at a glance with sortable columns for every ratio.
ii. Individual REIT FactSheet
Click any REIT (e.g. HMN for CapitalLand Ascott Trust) from the table and you’ll be able to see the FactSheet.
iii. Screener Tool
1. Launch Market Screener
*Remember to select SGX to see the REITs Metrics Selection!
2. Click on Add Criteria.
3. Click on REITs Metrics to see the different ratios.
Combine multiple metrics using filters — e.g.
- Gearing < 40%
- Rental Reversion > 5%
- Fixed-rate debt > 70%
This lets you build a custom REIT shortlist with just a few clicks.
For example, we used
| Metric | Filter |
| Gearing % | < 40% |
| Occupancy Rate % | > 90% |
| Cost of Debt % | < 3.5% |
| Fixed-Rate Debt % | > 70% |
| Interest Cover Ratio | > 3× |
| WADM (years) | > 2.5 years |
The screener returned a refined list of REITs that matched our selected criteria!
Step 2: Sort to Spot the Standouts
Just click any column header to instantly sort the REITs list:
- Gearing (Low → High): Find financially conservative REITs
- Rental Reversion (High → Low): Identify those raising rents
- WALE or WADM (High → Low): Spot long-term stability
- Fixed-Rate Debt % (High → Low): Find protection from rate hikes
- CRI/NLA (Low → High): Avoid tenant concentration risk
Pro Tip: Use combinations to filter top REITs by both stability and growth potential.
