What is the yield spread over G-Secs for REITs?

The yield spread over G-Secs is the difference between a REIT's distribution yield and the yield on government securities of a similar term, and it shows how much extra income an investor gets for taking on property risk, and a wider spread suggests more reward for risk, but also may signal concerns.

What It Is

  • Investors compare a REIT's yield with the ten-year government bond yield, as the risk-free benchmark, so if a REIT yields eight percent, and the bond yields seven, the spread is one percentage point, and it tends to change with interest rates and with the REIT's growth prospects.
  • Spreads vary across REITs and time.

How It Works

  • A wider spread may be an opportunity, or a warning, since it may reflect doubts about tenants, debt, or valuations, while a narrow spread may reflect confidence, so the spread should be read with occupancy, lease expiry, debt, and growth, and not alone, and the distribution is not guaranteed, unlike a government bond.
  • Taxes also differ.

What to Check

  • Check the current REIT yield and the government bond yield, calculate the spread, compare with similar REITs and its own history, check occupancy, debt, and lease expiry, understand the taxes on distributions, and take advice from a registered adviser.
  • This is not investment advice.

Read it with risk, so compare the REIT's yield with the government bond yield, check occupancy, debt, and lease expiry, and understand the taxes on distributions.
