What is the current view on Ascendas Hospitality Trust? The price is quite low right now. What about Frasers Hospitality Trust?
What I mean is, if I am not vested, would it be a good or bad thing to buy either?
Do note that hospitality trusts are very volatile, as they are the first tier of indicators on the market situation.
If you cannot stomach the volatility, retail and/or commercial REITs are the next best thing.
Caveat emptor.

agree after hospitality, the next that get hit is industrial, commercial then follow by retail and finally healthcare.
however, if the yield is really too tempting, there are some risk management ways to invest in any hospitality reits.
1. try to purchase as low as possible (52 weeks low), wait for price to dip and stabilized first before deciding, use charts to determine the trend first. if the downtrend is too obvious then wait for the chart to provide some signals, no doubt it will be too slow in terms of price movement but hey is a way to safe guard your entry price without getting into the trap of purchasing a falling knife counter.
i ever got hit by this effect on purchases such as m1 and SPH.
2. don't allocate too much portion on your portfolio to this sector, ideally try to keep less than 10,000 shares. no doubt is cheap (less than 1 dollar) and one would have to temptation to buy more but think of the potential downside first.
3. if you're already an investor, at the first sight of trouble, set a stop loss and get out first cause you will never know how low it will dip especially when you have limited funds and do not want to continue to average down on a stock that is pessimistic on outlook in the hotel industry.
these are some of the methods i would use when dealing with reits of uncertain outlook however do note that i'm not vested in hospitality reits.
so do take the comments with a heavy pinch of salt.
lastly, an easier way is that one can avoid all these risk management scenarios is to stay away from hospitality reits.
I assume the volatility is in both the prices and dividends...?
1. Yeah, that's why I have been looking at the price history of Ascendas H, which is pretty low at this point and staying there. That created some doubts for me, as in if the price will fall further. While my aim in buying REITs is to hold for dividends, excessive falls in share prices can easily wipe out a few years worth of dividends. I don't have a significant portion (<50%) of my money vested, so I can afford to hold long term, but I have seen some counters not recovering even after >5 years.
2. That's true.
3. Yeah. Averaging makes sense if you are talking about blue chips and other more "stable" industries. Fast moving technology based markets can easily leave (local) companies in the dust (eg. Creative and Hyflux).
I do have some OUE on hand (from IPO), which I am actually inclined to sell in the near term, given the current rise in prices. OTOH, the low price of Ascendas H is attractive but I wonder if it indicates anything bad about it... IIRC, the majority of Ascendas H's properties are in Australia.
u mean OUEHT? OUE CT? or just oue?
in your first point u stated that u aimed to hold for dividends, but in ur last sentence u wanted to sell for capital gains.
