What Evergrande could mean for Australia and the REITs to avoid
The collapse of Lehman Brothers is widely credited with triggering the global financial crisis. In 2008, bad debts spread throughout the global financial system came to head, leading a number of businesses to fall and the S&P500 to finish down nearly 40%, its largest yearly fall in history. Last month when China's Evergrande announced that it may struggle to meet its some US$300 billion debt many questioned if Evergrande could be another 'Lehman moment'.
In this podcast with Bennelong's Jodie Saw, I provide my thoughts on the Evergrande fallout and what it could mean for Australia. We also discuss the benefits of including global REITs in your portfolio and why it stands up against global equities and A-REITs.
