Elite UK REIT to start SGD trading on SGX from 16 March

Units will trade in SGD and GBP.

Elite UK REIT will implement dual-currency trading on SGX-ST from 9:00 am on 16 March, adding a Singapore-dollar trading counter alongside its existing pound-sterling counter, its manager said.

The manager said units are currently quoted and traded only in GBP, and trades made in the SGD counter will be settled in SGD, whilst trades in the GBP counter will continue to settle in GBP.

It said the units traded in both counters are identical, and investors will be able to buy or sell through either counter, with dual-currency trading intended to improve fungibility and potentially reduce transaction costs for investors using SGD.

The manager said unitholders will continue to have the option of receiving distributions in SGD or GBP, with those who want GBP required to submit a Distribution Election Notice to CDP, whilst no action is needed to receive distributions in SGD.

It added that the implementation does not change the total number of units issued, and said the trading name and stock code for the SGD counter will be announced once available from SGX-ST.

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.
