    AS 2023 drew to a close, CapitaLand Investment made an announcement that unitholders of many real estate investment trusts (Reits) should have found troubling.

    The global real estate investment manager said on Dec 8 that it expects to report a significant decrease in earnings for 2023, due to fair value losses on its investment properties in markets such as China, Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

    It said the fair value losses arose due to higher capitalisation rates and weaker market sentiment.
