Money and Me: Navigating Challenges for Mapletree REITs and REITs related to Changi Business Park
Today, we delve into the outlook for Mapletree REITs amid challenging market conditions and leadership changes. We discuss the recent performance of Mapletree Logistics Trust and Mapletree Panasia Commercial Trust, investors’ punishing responses and recent leadership changes.
Michelle and her guest Kenny Loh also examine the implications of Mapletree Anson’s $775 million sale by MPACT. Then we travel to Singapore’s “CBD of the east” and examine what the emptying of tenants mean for Singapore’s ambitions to become a regional hub for MNC’s and the possible impact of the vacancies at Changi Business Park on S-REITs. Guest: Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Independent Financial Advisor.
Note: The above analysis are my own personal views and are NOT buy or sell recommendations. Investors who would like to leverage my extensive research and years of Singapore REIT investing experience can approach me separately for a REIT Portfolio Consultation.
