Healthcare REITs cash in on rich, rapidly aging Asians

They can breeze through the economic slowdown.

Singapore-listed healthcare REITs are well-placed to weather Asia's economic slowdown thanks to the region's affluent but rapidly aging population.

According to a report by Fitch Ratings, healthcare-focused REITs continue to post a strong performance due to robust and defensive demand for healthcare and elderly care services.

"The sector's revenue and net property income grew by 5% year-on-year in 1Q15, due to organic and acquisitive growth. The healthcare REITs have exceptionally strong lease structures versus many peers listed in Singapore," the report said.
