HOLDING up a sterling report on Thursday, Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit) said its distribution per unit (DPU) for the third quarter ended Sept 30 rose 14 per cent from a year ago to 2.35 Singapore cents, the highest DPU recorded in the past three years.

Unitholders' distribution grew 21 per cent to S$38.7 million, the highest distribution recorded in a quarter since the Reit was launched 10 years ago. This came on the back of realised exchange gain of S$3.3 million from the repayment of foreign currency bank loans with the divestment proceeds from Fortune Garden Apartments.
