[SINGAPORE] Chinese real estate investment trusts, or C-Reits, have outpaced some of their regional peers, including Singapore’s, in the first half of this year.
The performance of C-Reits this year reflects a “significant turnaround” for an asset class that had plunged to record lows at the start of last year amid a slowing Chinese economy and real estate sector, said the Asia Pacific Real Estate Association (Aprea).
From January to June 2025, the CSI Reits Total Return Index, which tracks the total returns of C-Reits, rose 14.2 per cent, higher than the 8.5 per cent returns posted by the GPR/Aprea Reit Composite index, which tracks real estate securities in 12 Asia-Pacific countries and territories.
