The Homeplus REIT IPO is surely a key landmark deal in the 20 year history of the Korean REIT market. We have a positive view on the Homeplus REIT IPO and believe it has a good chance of generating 6-9% return per year (including dividends and capital appreciation) in the next three years. The Homeplus REIT is geared towards the investors who are happy with 6-9% annual returns with relatively low downside risk. For the investors that are seeking 10%+ annual returns, this deal is probably not suitable for them. The following are the five major factors why we believe the Homeplus REIT market will be a success: <ul>
<li>Stable dividend yield of 6-7%.</li>
<li>Opportunity to get included in a global REIT index (such as EPRA Developed Asia Index).</li>
<li>Supermarkets related REITs are viewed safer than residential and commercial office building related REITs globally.</li>
<li>Global investors have wanted to invest in a big, liquid, safe retail REIT with stable dividends in Korea for a long time. The Homeplus REIT possesses many of these characteristics. </li>
