    THE latest results from Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) for the financial period ended December do not appear to give investors too much to cheer about.

    Of the 22 S-Reits that have reported distribution figures in their results or business updates so far, 17 reported declines in their distribution per unit (DPU) in the latest reporting period.

    Just four S-Reits – Mapletree Logistics Trust, CapitaLand Ascott Trust, CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Parkway Life Reit – achieved higher DPU.
