Event Outline:
After a challenging period of rising interest rates and market uncertainty, the REIT sector is entering a new phase.
With borrowing costs easing and investor sentiment improving, REITs could potentially regain attention as attractive income-generating investments.
In Singapore, the sector has already shown signs of recovery, with some S-REITs delivering improved distributions per unit on a year-on-year basis.
Here are what you will gain from this session:
- Gain insights from REIT CEOs, analysts, portfolio managers, and real estate specialists who are actively shaping the sector.
- Understand how relevant topics including interest rates, property market cycles, and global economic trends may influence REIT performance and opportunities.
- Discover investment themes and opportunities across sectors such as logistics, retail, hospitality, data centres, and industrial real estate.
- Build a stronger income portfolio by learning from experienced investors how to evaluate REITs, manage risks, and identify sustainable dividend opportunities.
- Connect with like-minded investors and market participants to exchange ideas, perspectives, and investment strategies.
Hazelle Soon (Chief Trainer, The Joyful Investors) sharing at REITs Symposium 2025
The Danger of Obvious Trades - When the Crowd Gets It Wrong
Markets often feel most comfortable when the narrative seems clear, consensus is high, and “everyone knows” what the right investment is.
But history has shown that these are often the moments of greatest risk.
Catch us live from 2:00PM – 2:30PM as Hazelle Soon (Chief Trainer of The Joyful Investors) unpack why the wisdom of the crowd can break down in financial markets, and how popular, “obvious” trades can become overcrowded and fragile.
In this session, we’ll explore:
Why the wisdom of the crowd can fail us
The danger of “obvious trades”
Most importantly, what we can do about it as investors
Walk away with a clearer framework to think independently, navigate market narratives, and position yourself more deliberately in an environment driven by crowd behaviour.
