Citigroup has forecast a total return of five per cent for Australian real estate investment trusts in 2019. The sector delivered an overall return of 2.9 per cent in 2018, although Citi analysts note that the spread between the best and worst performers was the widest since the global financial crisis. Citi is bearish about the outlook for retail REITs, although the firm has upgraded its rating on several residential REITs to a ‘buy’.
