Will a weak development pipeline sink GLP in FY17?

Its dominance in the market is key.

A decreased development pipeline is not enough to faze Global Logistics Properties (GLP), as analysts assert that the firm’s underlying business will remain stable.

According to a report by DBS, in FY17, the underlying business remains stable with an increased lease ratio of 92%, as well as decent growth in rents on renewals.

In addition, GLP’s dominant position in the respective markets and modern facilities is an advantage in a competitive landscape.

Further, as at end-FY16, AUM of GLP’s fund management platform jumped to US$35b. On top of this, GLP has another US11b of uncalled capital to be deployed.

Given that the platform is highly scalable and an ROE-enhancing business arm of the group, management is focusing on boosting returns and operational scale by setting up new funds.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
