rities (2016); Sabana Sha'riah Compliant REIT. (2017)
Notes: 1 The S-REIT was privatized and delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 16 July 2013
2Converted from conventional REIT to S-REIT in 2008
Figures 1a to 1e provide an insight to the prices and dividends paid on S-REITs in various countries. These S-
REITs trade on the exchange with sufficient volumes providing investors with viable option to invest in liquid
securities that are aligned with their religious beliefs and offer them both capital gains and stable income.
Since the number of S-REITs and the availability of historical data is limited, the research on the risk and re-
turn profiles of S-REITs is also sparse. Some research is available on Malaysian S-REITs, findings of which
may not be generalized to the S-REITs in other countries. The studies a available on S-REITs highlight the di-
versification benefits off S-REITs. For example, a study by Razali and Sing (2015) documented that the Malay-
sian S-REITs provided abnormal returns during 2005 and 2014 as compared to their conventional counter-
parts. The authors also found that S-REITs also exhibited some countercyclical attributes during the crises.
Newell and Osmadi (2009) found that S-REITs exhibited high degree of robustness and low correlation with
the stock markets during the GFC and as a result their inclusion in a portfolio can potentially lead to greater
diversification benefits. Contrary to the findings of these studies, Mohamad and Mohd Saad, (2012) found
conventional REIT outperformed the I-REIT during the GFC.
