REAL estate investment trusts (Reits) and business trusts (BTs) have become an important feature of our capital market as Singapore aspires to be a hub for such listings.
As at June 1, 2017, there are 45 such issuers with a primary listing trading on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), accounting for a total market capitalisation of S$85 billion. Of the 45 issuers, six are constituted as stapled securities, nine as pure business trusts and 30 as Reits.
