Money and Me: FOMC meeting key takeaways, State of the IPO market, Worthy AI plays

A niche corner of real estate is quietly delivering strong income - but is it built to last?

Michelle Martin explores whether purpose-built worker and student housing can offer investors stable, resilient returns in uncertain markets.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, with insights from Centurion Accommodation REIT’s Chief Investment Officer Ginny Ang, we unpack how the REIT beat its DPU forecast and what’s driving demand.

We examine why worker housing may behave differently from offices and malls - especially during economic slowdowns.

With occupancy already near full, the big question becomes: where does future growth come from?

Plus, how rising interest rates and a focus on community well-being could shape long-term returns for investors.
