"The manager will continue its disciplined evaluation of all acquisition opportunities, while seeking long-term sustainable yield accretive returns for unitholders," it added.
The new investment mandate of MGCCT is as follows: "MGCCT is a Singapore real estate investment trust established with the investment mandate of principally investing, directly or indirectly, in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate in the Greater China region and Japan which is used primarily for commercial purposes (including real estate used predominantly for retail and/or office purposes), as well as real estate-related assets."
