🌟 **Why Trust Matters in Singapore’s Investment Landscape** 🌟

I’m honored to have been invited as a panelist speaker at the SGX Reits Connect Experience, where I shared key insights alongside industry leaders and investor relations teams from Suntec ESR Group and CICT CapitaLand. Here’s what I learned—and why it matters to *you* as an investor:

🔑 **3 Pillars of Investor Confidence** 🔑
1️⃣ **Trust is Non-Negotiable**
Meeting Suntec, CICT’s Investor Relations team—Eugenia Ong, Melissa Chow, and Mei Peng—reinforced how **deep expertise** builds conviction. In my practice, I prioritize management credibility because your trust is the foundation of every investment decision.

2️⃣ **Transparency Drives Opportunity**
Face-to-face engagements with SGX-listed REITs aren’t just meetings—they’re gateways to undervalued opportunities**. By bridging remisiers and firms, we amplify awareness and unlock potential for clients.

3️⃣ **Collaboration is the Secret Sauce**
My lunch with Reitas CEO Ms Nupur Joshi, CFA, SAS Chairman Mr. Luke Lim and SRS President Mr Nallakaruppan S at Penang Kitchen wasn’t just about nasi lemak. It was a masterclass in relationships. Like a perfect nasi lemak—where chili, chicken, and rice harmonize—**Singapore’s REIT ecosystem thrives when brokers, firms, and investors align**.

💡 **Why Work With Me?** 💡
As your trusted partner, I combine:
✅ **20+ years of market-tested strategies**
✅ **Tailored portfolios**—from defensive healthcare REITs to high-growth data centers.
✅ **Clarity over complexity**: Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, I simplify opportunities like the **6.9% average S-REIT yield** vs. T-bills.

🏢 Suntec REIT & CICT – Key Takeaways from My Visit 🏢

 

As an SGX REITs Ambassador and financial services manager from Phillip Securities, I recently visited Suntec REIT and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) CapitaLand—two of Singapore’s prominent REITs.

Here are some insights investors should take note of:

🔹 Suntec REIT (Established 2004)
✔️ Focus: Commercial offices, retail, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibitions)
✔️ Geographic Exposure: Singapore, Australia, UK
✔️ Key Strengths: Prime office assets, international diversification, and a strong foothold in the recovering MICE sector.

🔹 CICT (Singapore’s Largest REIT)
✔️ Focus: Integrated commercial properties (retail, office, mixed-use developments)
✔️ Geographic Exposure: Primarily Singapore, with select assets in Australia, Germany
✔️ Key Strengths: High-quality properties, stable rental income, and exposure to Singapore’s thriving retail and office market.

📈 What This Means for Investors
✅ Diversification – Suntec offers global exposure, while CICT provides a strong Singapore-centric portfolio.
✅ Growth Potential – Both REITs are positioned to benefit from retail footfall recovery, rising office demand, and active asset management strategies.
✅ Attractive Yields – With strategic acquisitions and asset enhancements, these REITs continue to create value for investors.

Why Investors should care about investing in Singapore Reits (SReits)?

With tariffs in the news, uncertainty, increased volatility, global trade wars in play and current Russia and Ukraine conflict, investors can consider having some exposure in Singapore Reits.

 Why Investors should care about investing in Singapore Reits (SReits)?

 3 Main reasons and pictures backed by data below: 💰

 1. To cushion the declining returns from the 6 months T-Bills. Recent data released on 13March 2025 for MAS 6 Month Tbills cut off yield is only 2.56%pa. In my personal view, this declining trend of lower returns from T-bills is likely to persist.

 2. Based on data from MAS, for 2025 as a whole, MAS Core Inflation is expected to average 1.0–2.0%. SReits offer compelling dividend yield of 5-6% per annual and on average around 12-16% volatility. By diversifying into this asset class, one can potentially earn capital gain, reduce portfolio volatility and collect the dpu (distribution per unit) from the Sreits. And not to forget, SReits dividend yield will likely help reduce the impact of inflation.

 3. By investing in the Sreits one can create a steady SGD source of passive income by collecting distribution in SGD without currency risk versus investing in overseas reits or oversea Risk Assets denominated in USD or other currencies. As USD hit a high of 1.44 in Sept-Nov 2023. Now is at 1.33. As such, the USD may weaken over time vs SGD.

 Based on the above 3 points, one can consider having some exposure to the SReits asset class to help diversify risk, reduce portfolio volatility and create another potential source of passive income for retirement, wealth accumulation or as part of a financial goal.
