Ascott Residence Trust

The projected fall in DPS, from the 7.61 Singapore cents paid in FY2019, came as distributable income could drop by 40-50 per cent year on year, taking into account realised exchange gains and partial distribution of divestment gains.

The profit guidance was based on the managers' preliminary review of its financial statements for the year to Dec 31, 2020, which are set to be released on Jan 27, 2021.
