    ROBERT Schmitt, chief executive officer of the manager of United Hampshire US Real Estate Investment Trust (UHREIT), is in a bit of a pickle.

    Operationally, the Singapore-listed real estate investment trust (S-Reit) has remained resilient through the pandemic and performed better than expected.

    For the full year ended December 2021, UHREIT posted distributable income (DI) of US$31.2 million, beating its initial public offering (IPO) forecast by 3 per cent.
