And to answer the question, which country has the highest average yielding reit is none other than the United States! (*cue the applause)  


What can we get out of these findings? 

As dividend hungry investors, does that mean we should move our money into US reits, since they give a better overall yield? 

The Answer: It is not that simple. 

A high yielding reit doesn't equate to an "overall good" reit. You need to put in the effort to dig deeper and find exceptional ones; reits that have been performing consistently, have assets located in promising areas, assets that are designed to add value to its tenants and so forth. Consider also withholding taxes implications. If you are interested to learn more about reits and how to select the best of them, click (here)

The full list of reits from Australia, US, Singapore and Canada will be released here over the next two days. Have a good weekend ahead~
