1.Yes they will distribute 80% of profits to shareholders.But how do they ensure administrative & finance expenses dont eat up most of rental collections income?
2.Is 14% ROI for shareholder not too high especially with the number of competing malls and commercial properties coming up?Have they been able to do this in SA?
My main concern is your 1St question. Stanlib have "no skin in the reit" what makes us sure that all their actions are 100% aligned with us the shareholders, coz at the end of the day they will get their management fees. I would like it if they were among the major shareholders. I know this might not be the specification of a REIT, so my concern might cover all REITS not just this Fahari I reit.
Other than that, if they can be trusted and depended upon and at the right price...dividend Yield of about 7% to the starting NAV, then this is a very good investment
