S-Reits posts 7.1% increase in returns in January: report

This is above STI’s 3.5% total returns.

S-Reits posted a 7.1% increase in total returns in January, outpacing Straits Times Index’s total returns of 3.5%, Singapore Exchange (SGX) reported.

SGX attributed this to “expectations of a slower pace of interest rate increases [that] continued to affect market sentiments.”

Meanwhile, institutional investors net bought (+S$1.6m) while retail investors net sold (-$44.3m) of S-REITs in January 2023.

Moreover, the report noted that five S-Reits have so far released their financial results or business updates; whilst 26 others have confirmed released dates in the coming weeks.

“As the sector continues to face headwinds, the sector's operational efficiency, growth prospects and balance sheet resilience will be placed under scrutiny. Out of the 5 S-Reits, Suntec Reit announced its full-year results,” SGX also noted.

“The Reit reported a 24% yoy growth in net property income (NPI), and saw distributable income grow 3.4% on a full year basis. Full year DPU grew 2.5% to 8.884 cents due to higher NPI contribution and a capital distribution of S$23.0mn.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
