AIMS APAC REIT and perpetual bonds.

This very short blog is in reply to a reader's comment on a topic which other readers might find interesting. 

AIMS APAC REIT is well run and it has been very rewarding as an investment for income. 

A perpetual bond is a good thing for the REIT because it does not add to the REIT's gearing while giving it more funds. 

A coupon of above 5% is also pretty attractive to anyone interested in lending money which is what we are doing when we buy bonds. 

Personally, I rather be invested in AIMS APAC REIT than to lend money to them because I think it is more rewarding to invest in the REIT. 

I would suggest that readers interested in the perpetual bonds read these blogs: 

1. Why have bonds in our portfolio and which ones? 

2. Bonds, REITs and the instant gratification of yield.
