Alset’s activities are fragmented across small real estate projects, rentals, and minority investments. None of these businesses shows strong network effects, switching costs, or proprietary intangibles at scale.
Component view: Intangible assets 15/100 (niche brands, no strong IP), Switching costs 10/100 (tenants and builders face minimal frictions), Network effects 0/100 (no two‑sided platform), Cost advantages 15/100 (limited scale; 132 SFRs is too small to drive purchasing or operating leverage), Efficient scale 10/100 (residential land development is competitive and local).
Weighted overall moat 9/100. Past project sales at Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas are complete, removing a temporary edge in a single locale rather than establishing a repeatable, defensible system.
