"REITs Stock Has Hit Bottom"... KB Asset Management Recommends 3 REITs Funds

On the 22nd, KB Asset Management announced that it is offering three carefully selected REITs funds by country and sector for investors who want to invest in various real estate assets while enjoying stability.

First, they introduced ‘KB Korea REITs Infrastructure,’ which invests in high-quality domestic real estate. This product is a dividend product favorable during periods of falling interest rates. It includes high-quality assets such as Macquarie Infrastructure, with a one-year return rate reaching 5.65%.

The second recommended REITs fund is ‘KB Global Core REITs,’ which diversifies investments in high-quality assets in advanced global markets. Unlike REITs funds that concentrate investments in specific regions, this product invests in infrastructure and special assets in developed countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Its advantage lies in flexible management that adjusts weightings according to economic changes.

The last product presented is the ‘KB US Data Center Infrastructure REITs’ fund, which invests in US data infrastructure-related REITs. Data centers and information technology (IT) infrastructure have recently seen a surge in demand due to the growth of artificial intelligence (AI)-related industries, and high growth is expected. This fund invests in global data center Equinix (15.70%) and global cell tower REIT American Tower (12.93%), among others.

Park Yong-sik, manager of the Overseas Real Estate Management Division at KB Asset Management, said, “As we have entered an inflection point of interest rate cuts, the domestic and international REITs markets will bloom again. Considering the market environment where polarization by country and sector is becoming clear, active products that select investment targets by considering market conditions and stock specificities will be more advantageous than passive products managed by mechanical trading.”
