S1E60: Ensuring the Singapore Reit sector stays relevant
14:48
18:36

Leslie YeeHOST
Simon, is a Singapore listing attractive for REITs that own only overseas assets?
S
14:53Simon GaringGUEST
It's a question that we answered when we chose back in 2017 to list here in Singapore, and the rationale of listing back then is the same as it is today.
S
15:04Simon GaringGUEST
Why have we done that? One is that Singapore investors, with the growth in wealth, savings, insurance products, family offices, et cetera, there's obviously a very large wealth pool here.
S
15:17Simon GaringGUEST
And Europe is a top three global economy, over $18 trillion per annum in size, not that much smaller than the US and China.
S
15:26Simon GaringGUEST
So if you're here in Singapore and you have an investment portfolio, you're going to want to get some exposure to other markets.
S
15:36Simon GaringGUEST
So if we can offer a Singapore-based investor the local expertise, We are a pan-European logistics and light industrial expert.
S
15:47Simon GaringGUEST
So if an investor wants to invest in a top three economy, do it with a team that's on the ground with a 30-year track record, that can find assets off market, that can lease the assets very well in the local languages, understands the local tax laws, and brings that cash flow back to Singapore.

Leslie YeeHOST
In your view, will some of these smaller size REITs which struggle to trade close to book value be heading for privatization? Will that be a sensible route for them to go?
