    MAYBANK Kim Eng has issued a report maintaining an "underweight" rating on industrial real estate investment trusts (Reits), as Singapore heads into a market of sub-normal demand but high supply.

    Its top "sell" call is Ascendas Reit, because of the Reit's broad-based exposure to the strongly-supplied market. Ascendas Reit is the largest industrial Reit in Singapore, with a market capitalisation of more than S$6 billion and a huge portfolio of more than 100 properties in Singapore.
