Keppel DC REIT: 3 Good and 3 Red Flags | EP1630🦖

What if the AI boom that makes Keppel DC REIT look unstoppable is the same thing quietly eroding your retirement safety net? I keep seeing investors celebrate the 42.2% revenue surge and 7.2 times interest cover, but almost nobody asks who is really paying for that growth. When I lined up the dilution, gearing, and yield against CPF and SRS options, the picture that emerged was not the one the slide decks are selling.

If you are in your late 50s, the question is not whether the data centre story is exciting, it is whether a 4.55% yield and 35.1% gearing actually beat leaving that money in a 4.0% CPF Special Account once you factor in dilution and rights issue risk. My 3.2% forensic floor and 4.7% yield hurdle are designed for this exact trade off: how much premium you really earn for giving up a government guarantee and taking on corporate risk. This Keppel DC REIT deep dive walks through that gap line by line so you can decide where it belongs in your CPF, SRS, or dividend portfolio.
