    SINGAPORE’S real estate investment trust (Reit) market is facing increasing competition from up-and-coming counterparts across Asia, where the asset class is gaining popularity among investors.

    But market watchers say Singapore-listed Reits (S-Reits) – currently the second largest Reit market in the Asia-Pacific outside Japan – are likely to stave off challenges from the likes of Hong Kong, India, Australia, the Philippines and Thailand.

    There are some 43 S-Reits listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), with a total market value of more than S$111 billion – representing about 12 per cent of Singapore’s overall listed stocks.
