REAL estate investment trust (Reit) mergers are the flavour of the season, and activist fund Quarz Capital Management is advocating a union of CapitaLand's two hospitality trusts.
In a letter on Thursday, Quarz argued that Ascendas Hospitality Trust (A-H Trust) is undervalued due to its "suboptimal size", and should be merged with larger peer Ascott Reit, which CapitaLand also controls.
