How much did AK make from Saizen REIT?

Reader:

Dear AK,

I just started following your blog this year. So many gems!


Thanks for resharing your Saizen REIT blog post from 2015 on Facebook. It just tells me how much more I have to read in your archives!


I might regret asking this but how much money did you make from your investment in Saizen REIT?







AK:

Don't worry, you can ask. 

I won't bite your head off. 

Whether I give you the desired answer or not is something else.

If I did not reveal the larger investments in my portfolio recently, I would probably have refused your request.


Now, I don't see any harm in sharing the numbers. :)


Income distributions plus capital gains (excluding return of capital) from the sale of all the REIT's assets, roughly,


$ 245,000


Almost a quarter of a million dollars.


The number shouldn't be surprising since Saizen REIT was one of my 3 largest investments in S-REITs and my entry prices were pretty low.


In terms of percentage, the return was probably around 20% per year, give or take a little. 

I am not crazy enough to calculate the exact numbers.

Of course, now, with news that Saizen REIT is to be liquidated, I should be seeing another few thousand dollars coming back but that is really a return of capital.
