      Thanks to @Kenny_Loh : Summary of Outlook 2026The Pivot Year: 2026 is expected to be a pivotal recovery year for S-REITs, transitioning from a survival phase to a growth phase, primarily driven by a more accommodative lower interest rate environment. DPU Inflection: We expect DPU growth to inflect upwards for the sector as lower interest expenses translate directly to distributable income. The New Mantra: Investors should focus on Quality, Balance Sheet Strength, and Sector Exposure to secular growth trends (Data Centres, Logistics, Suburban Retail). Actionable Strategy: S-REITs are poised to be an attractive income play, with a potential to deliver both stable yield and capital appreciation as market valuations converge with private a

      (1) Review of 2025 Singapore REITs Performance (The Wrap-Up) Key Takeaway: A Strong Rebound driven by rate stabilization and the start of SORA decline. Overall Performance: 2025 is shaping up to be the best year for S-REITs since 2019, with total returns (price gain + dividend) projected to be around 12-15% YTD (as of Dec 2025). This marks a significant rebound from the challenging high-rate environment of 2023/2024. Driver: The primary catalyst has been the stabilisation and decline of borrowing costs. The 3-month Compounded SORA in Singapore has trended down (e.g., from a peak near 4.5% to around $1.28% by late 2025), significantly easing the refinancing burden. Fundamental Stability: Most S-REITs demonstrated stable operating performance in 2025, with resilient occupancy rates and posit

      REIT Watch - 10 S-REITs which garnered over S$1 billion in total retail net inflows in 2025

      With seven trading days remaining in 2025, the Straits Times Index (STI) has delivered a year-to-date price return of 20.7% as at Dec 18, while Singapore REITs (S-REITs) have gained 9.0%. Including dividends, total returns for the STI and S-REITs reached 26.7% and 14.4% respectively – placing S-REITs on track for their strongest annual performance since 2019 as previously highlighted in this column.Half of this performance was achieved in Q3, driven by improved operating fundamentals across S-REIT sub-segments and a more conducive environment due to lower interest rates. The US Federal Reserve implemented three 25 basis-point rate cuts this year, with market analysts expecting two more reductions in 2026.In comparison, S-REITs have outperformed the FTSE EPRA Nareit Asia ex Japan Index’s 13
