PETALING JAYA 14 Ogos - Pelabur runcit tempatan masih menjauhi amanah pelaburan hartanah (REIT) walaupun ia menawarkan pulangan yang agak tinggi berbanding beberapa instrumen pelaburan lain.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Axis REIT Managers Bhd., Stewart LaBrooy berkata, malah sebilangan besar pelabur runcit tidak memahami mengenai REIT dan kini secara majoriti peserta pasaran adalah pelabur institusi.

Menurutnya, menerusi REIT kini individu boleh melabur dalam hartanah yang memerlukan pelaburan yang besar seperti kompleks membeli belah dan bangunan pejabat.

”Pelabur tidak perlu risau tentang penyelenggaraan dan kutipan sewaan bangunan berbanding jika mereka melabur dengan membeli hartanah itu sendiri.

”Ia juga sesuai untuk mereka yang merancang (sumber kewangan selepas) persaraan kerana pelaburan dalam REIT memberi pulangan yang konsisten dan tinggi,” katanya pada taklimat media mengenai pameran bergerak MReit Investor Outreach di sini hari ini.

MReit Investor Outreach yang akan memberi penerangan mengenai pelaburan REIT pada Sabtu ini di Hotel Hilton Petaling Jaya, di sini.

MK Land Holdings Bhd hit RM1 billion in sales

PROPERTY developer MK Land Holdings Bhd (8893)expects to hit RM1 billion in sales in the near term as it grows double-digit annually over the next five years.

In the shorter haul, MK Land expects sales to breach RM600 million next year, buoyed by the Armanee Terrace condominiums and Rafflesia, two core products within its Damansara Perdana township in Selangor.

This should reflect further progress in the company’s fortune after the return of Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar.

MK Land, in which Mustapha Kamal holds a majority stake, slipped into the red in the years ended June 2007 and 2008 on extra costs incurred because of errant contractors.
It was the period when Mustapha Kamal stepped down as executive chairman from April 2007.

His return as chief executive officer in June 2008 made an instant impact as the company turned in a net profit of RM13.2 million for the nine months to March 2009, reversing the loss of RM18 million a year ago.

MK Land is due to announce its recently-ended 2009 accounts on August 28, with Mustapha Kamal only hinting that he was happy with the result. He is more bullish over MK Land’s near to medium-term outlook.

“Instead of concentrating on other areas of our developments, we are focusing on the Damansara Perdana township.

“There are three major projects there - the Armanee Terrace, Rafflesia and Metropolitan Square. The projects alone will generate sales of about RM3.5 billion over five years,” he said after the handing over ceremony of eight Modenas Elegant motorcycles to the Selangor police yesterday.

KUALA LUMPUR 11 Ogos - Adakah mata wang China, Renminbi akan menjadi mata wang dunia menggantikan dolar AS tidak lama lagi?

Itulah persoalan yang bermain ketika ini berikutan China muncul antara kuasa ekonomi baru dan meninggalkan Amerika Syarikat yang masih bergelut untuk memulihkan ekonomi sendiri.

Bekas Pengerusi dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Citigroup Inc., Charles Prince berkata, adalah tidak mustahil untuk mata wang China itu menjadi mata wang global jika negara tersebut meneruskan penguasaannya dalam ekonomi dunia.

“Saya yakin Renminbi boleh mengganti dolar AS jika ekonomi negara itu meneruskan penguasaannya dan nilai dolar menjadi lemah,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika menjadi speaker pada Simposium Pasaran-pasaran Modal Dunia di sini hari ini.

Two of Malaysia’s largest companies are storming back into capital markets after a drought in offerings.

Petronas, the state energy group, has just sold the biggest Asian international corporate bond issue since 2003 while Maxis, Malaysia’s leading mobile operator, is considering an initial public offering that could be among the biggest in south-east Asia this year.

The $4.5bn global bond offering by Petronas included a $3bn, 10-year conventional issue and a $1.5bn five-year Islamic bond, that was the largest international sukuk denominated in US dollars since a $1.5bn Dubai Ports issue in 2007. Both tranches were priced at 162.5 basis points above US Treasuries with similar maturity. Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and CIMB, a Malaysian investment bank, were the bookrunners on the deal.

Strong interest in the issue, with a global order book of about $19bn, could lead to a revival in sukuk offerings after a slowdown last year due to the global financial crisis. Some 60 per cent of the Petronas sukuk issue was sold in Asia, 34 per cent in Europe and 6 per cent in the US

Malaysia has the world’s largest sukuk market. And according to Bloomberg data, Islamic issues in Malaysia amounted to M$18bn ($5bn) this year.

Petronas is expected to use the funds for offshore exploration and development of oil and gas fields near Malaysian territory on the island of Borneo.

There has been increased investor appetite for bond offerings by Asian state energy groups on expectations of a recovery in economic growth in the region.
