Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Simplified.

A product that provides a fixed income that is better than FD +an upside like equity.

A Thread 🧵👇

 1/ REITs are a vehicle to invest in income-producing real estate properties, managed by professionals.
2/ In India, we have REITs primarily focused on commercial real estate properties having 7-9% rental yields.

In listed REITs, Most of the completed properties are pre-leased to big companies.

Why no residential? As yields of 1-3% make them unattractive to investors.
3/ How do you get the benefit of such yield?

REITs have to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to their shareholders.

All 3 listed REITs trade at 6-7% dividend yield (which is also tax-free)
4/ Moreover, 80% of REITs total value must come from completed & income-generating properties + it must avoid speculative land acquisitions.

What about debt then? There's a restriction there too.
Not more than 49% of the total equity.
5/ Looking interesting, right?

REITs are traded on the exchange (like stocks). Yes, Instant liquidity in a very illiquid product (Bulky Commercial Real Estate)

An investor can take part by buying 200 units at a time (60-70k rupees)
6/ let’s talk tax.

Under the current structure, Dividends remain tax-free (6-7% yields vs pre-tax FD yield of 5%)

On capital gains, while selling your units:

STCG of 15% on gains (if sold in less than 3 years)
LTCG of 10% on gains (if sold after 3 years)
7/ what makes us optimistic?

US REITs have 5 decades of history behind them & they have continued to outperform the broader equity markets

Interesting fact: the US has 194 listed REITs with a combined market cap of $1.3Trillion.
8/ Interestingly, Rents of all 3 listed REITs are at a 30-40% discount compared to the current market rents.

This leaves an upside potential once contracts expire.

Moreover, REITs have contractual escalations of 10-15% every 3-5 years.
9/ This is getting a bit complex, Let's talk about an alternative?

Directly buying RE? Get ready for 👇

- Huge Ticket Size (vs limited capital)
- Hassle of managing operational cost
- No valid data source
- Illiquid investment with high transaction costs
10/ Convinced already, things that must be tracked:

- Committed Occupancy & collections efficiency (higher the better)
- Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE)
- Sector Concentration (lesser the better) & Quality of tenants
- Healthy Balance Sheet
- Upcoming portfolio
11/ Surprise! we did a compilation of all the important factors for you ✌️

Let us know your insights in the comments section.
12/ Will WFH kill the Commercial Real Estate business?

No (in the context of India)

- Rents are a fraction of global rents
- Indian Outsourcing is a big opportunity given the resilience & performance in COVID
- Young Population needs direction via physical interactions.
13/ Due to the hits from Demonetisation, RERA, GST, IL&FS crisis & COVID-19

Commercial RE supply is hit, especially for Single Building Projects, Speculative construction, Strata Title assets

& Most are facing a cash crunch.

Great for future rent scenario, if demand increases.
14/ Risks with Investing in REITs

- Slowdown in Commercial RE (follow vacancies)
- Oversupply: Renegotiation at lower rates
- Concentration risks (tenant & location wise)
- Difference b/w REIT yield & FD rate
- Broader stock market movements will have an impact on unit price
15/ 3 REITs are already listed & 3-4 lakh crore worth more REITs are incoming.

REITs allow developers to

- Raise money & deleverage
- Provide liquidity to shareholders
- Increases market value due to increased transparency

See, A Win-Win situation all 🤝

Automotive Ancillaries Business Model 🏎️ (RT if beneficial)

A Thread 🧵👇


1/ What is an Auto Ancillary?

Well, a modern car requires 10s of thousands of parts; the OEMs that produce these cars don't make most of the components in-house. That's where auto ancillaries come into the shot.

From Seats to locks to braking systems, we have them all.


2/ Sounds simple, right?

Not really, the supply chain management one has to deal with as an OEM is extraordinarily complex.

The technical know-how required in every part of the chain is unique; leading to focused players with high market share.


3/ Auto Ancillaries with 20%+ market share in India or 5%+ market share Globally (Src: @Tijori1)

See, normally market share consolidation is common with time; Why is it so?


4/ High capital requirements: What makes this a moat is also why this biz is gruesome.

You as an ancillary, do the development today, you put the capacity today (~take multiple years); then wait on the hope that OEMs are able to sell vehicles. Now, Imagine a recession.

Bhu Varaha Swamy Temple

Bhu Varaha Swamy temple is a Hindu temple, located at Srimushnam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture...


the temple is dedicated to Varaha (Bhu Varaha Swamy), the boar-avatar of the god Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi as Ambujavalli Thayar.

The temple had contributions from Medieval Cholas of the 10th century with later expansions by Thanjavur Nayak king Achuthappa Nayak.


A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and the temple tanks. There is a seven-tieredrajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower.

Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Chariot festival....


celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (April–May), being the most prominent. The festival also symbolises Hindu-Muslim unity in the region – the flag of the chariot is provided by Muslims; they take offerings from the temple and present to Allah in the mosques.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan — how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.
