【SRT】

As of 10 Oct 2025 (Fri), SRT fell -0.76% WTD in SGD, and rose 13.55% YTD in SGD. Although SRT experienced WTD losses, it remains strong YTD and is expected to benefit from tailwinds such as declining rates, solid operating metrics, a robust SGD, and supportive policies like EQDP funds being eligible to invest in Singapore REITs (S-REITs) and the new iEdge Singapore Next 50 indices. RHB maintains its overweight rating on S-REITs, while CGSI forecasts strong Q3 DPU for the sector.
