is typically a season of festivities, as well as a time for winding-down and year-end reflections.\n\nFor income investors, it’s also a good time to review your portfolios, find out what worked and what didn’t, and to prepare for the year ahead.\n\nJust as the festive season reminds us that value can be found in little things, beyond the familiar blue-chip names on the Straits Times Index (SGX: ^STI) lie opportunities sitting quietly under the tree.\n\nHere are three small caps – companies with market caps under S$1 billion – that may offer the steady income and quiet strength worth a closer look before the new year begins.\n\nElite UK REIT Advances Multi-Pronged Portfolio Transformation\nElite UK REIT (SGX: MXNU) stands out for its defensive income profile, with 99.1% of rental income backed by UK government tenants, making it one of the most secure income plays on the SGX. \n\nThe REIT owns 148 properties valued at £419.7 million as at 30 September 2025.\n\nDuring the first half of 2025, the manager completed three strategic acquisitions for £9.2 million. \n\nThese added the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs as a new tenant and boosted gross rental income from non-DWP government occupiers by 1.5 times.\n\nThese properties delivered a gross rental income yield of 9.2%, above the existing portfolio’s 9.0%, while extending the weighted average lease expiry (WALE) to 7.2 years compared to 2.9 years for the existing portfolio.\n\nThe repositioning pipeline is where things get interesting.\n\nThe manager secured planning approval to convert Lindsay House in Dundee into 168-bed purpose-built student accommodation, targeting a potential fivefold valuation uplift by 2027.\n\nPre-planning consultation also concluded positively for Cambria House in Cardiff (348 beds), while planning applications have been submitted for a hyperscale data centre in Blackpool with 120 MVA power supply secured.\n\nThe REIT is also working to complete partial DWP lease regears for 2028 maturities by the first quarter of 2026, addressing £352.1 million of the portfolio.\n\nCivmec Order Book Rebounds \nCivmec Limited (SGX: P9D) provides integrated construction and engineering services across the energy, resources, infrastructure, and marine & defence sectors.\n\nHeadquartered in Henderson, Western Australia, the group’s capabilities span heavy engineering, shipbuilding, modularisation, and mechanical works.\n\nCivmec’s order book exceeded A$1.15 billion as at 30 September 2025, up sharply from A$633 million as at 31 December 2024. \n\nThis replenishment was driven by a stream of operationally critical awards during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (1QFY2026), including the CSBP Sodium Cyanide capacity expansion project, a major port outflow debottlenecking initiative, and the Fortescue process water tank installation at Kings Valley Solomon mine site.\n\nThe defence sector offers a promising growth angle. \n\nCivmec completed its A$20 million acquisition of Luerssen Australia on 1 July 2025, rebranding it Civmec Defence Industries. \n\nThe group delivered NUSHIP Eyre, the second Arafura Class offshore patrol vessel, in September 2025, with four additional vessels under construction. \n\n\nThe Australian government’s A$12 billion commitment to developing a Defence Precinct at Henderson positions Civmec strongly for future naval programmes, including the Mogami-class general purpose frigates.\n\nManagement noted strong tendering activity across all sectors, with extensive early contractor involvement on major projects.\n\nBoustead Singapore Pursues Value Unlocking Through UI Boustead REIT Listing\nBoustead Singapore (SGX: F9D) is working to unlock value from its real estate portfolio through the proposed listing of UI Boustead REIT on the Singapore Exchange.\n\nFollowing strategic reviews announced in June and September 2025, Boustead’s subsidiary Boustead Projects Limited (BPL) signed agreements on 18 September 2025 to divest four Singapore logistics and industrial properties to the proposed REIT. \n\nThe divestments involve BPL’s stakes in four joint ventures holding these properties.\n\nA critical condition for completion is that UI Boustead REIT will only acquire 100% interest in the properties, requiring all other joint venture investors to similarly divest their stakes.\n\nManagement highlighted that the proposed transactions would allow the group to monetise and reflect the market value of its real estate portfolio while enabling capital recycling. \n\nProceeds could be redeployed into new design-and-build opportunities, where Boustead’s engineering order backlog stands at approximately S$396 million as at 30 September 2025.\n\nThe timing of the REIT listing remains subject to regulatory approvals and completion of joint venture partner negotiations.\n\nGet Smart: Small Caps, Steady Income\nBlue chips often dominate the conversation when it comes to dividend investing, and for good reason – they offer liquidity, analyst coverage, and a certain peace of mind.\n\nBut as these three names suggest, reliable income can come from beyond the STI’s familiar constituents. \n\nSmaller companies may fly under the radar, yet some offer defensive income profiles, growing order books, or catalysts that could unlock value in the months ahead.\n\nThe trade-off? \n\nThinner trading volumes, less visibility, and greater sensitivity to sector-specific headwinds. \n\nFor investors willing to do the homework, though, the rewards can be worth the effort.\n\nWhile your friends debate which tech stock to buy next, money is quietly flowing into these 5 Singapore companies you see every day.
