Ascott Residence Trust Q4 DPU flat at 2.04 cents
Adjusting for various factors including a rights issue last March, DPU would have actually gone up by 7%
Singapore
ASCOTT Residence Trust posted a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.04 Singapore cents for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2017, flat from the corresponding period a year ago due in part to a rights issue which took place last year.
Adjusting for a one-off realised exchange gain, the effects of the rights issue in March last year, contributions from Ascott Orchard Singapore as well as a divestment gain, DPU would have actually gone up by 7 per cent to 2.07 cents.
