CHINA mall owner CapitaLand Retail China Trust reported distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.37 cents for its third quarter ended Sept 30, 2017, almost unchanged from 2.36 cents from a year ago.
Based on annualised year-to-date DPU of 10.33 Singapore cents, the real estate investment trust (Reit) is trading at a yield of 6.1 per cent based on its closing price of S$1.685.
Net asset value at end-September was S$1.63, down from S$1.65 at end-2016.
