Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT): FCOT has posted a first-quarter distribution per unit of 2.4 Singapore cents, down 4.4 per cent from 2.51 Singapore cents in the same period a year earlier as property income fell while the number of issued units had increased. Gross revenue for the first quarter ended Dec 31, 2017 dipped 11 per cent to S$35.3 million from the same period a year earlier.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT): Stable performance and new acquisitions gave a lift to results for industrial landlord MLT for its third quarter.
