Screening Tips
- Dividend safety: Check payout ratio (< 80% is sustainable), consecutive years of increases, FFO/AFFO coverage
- mREIT caveat: AGNC/NLY/RNLY yield 12%+ but are rate-sensitive and can cut dividends during tightening cycles
- Covered call trade-off: QYLD/XYLD maximize current income but sacrifice capital appreciation — total return may lag underlying index
- HK REITs: Hong Kong property market has been under pressure since 2022; yields may reflect distressed valuations (opportunity or trap?)
- Best all-rounder: O (Realty Income) — best risk-adjusted monthly income for most portfolios
