    LIKE most of its property peers, CapitaLand Investment (CLI) is facing down a tough environment amid global economic uncertainties.

    But perhaps the group can surprise its investors by doing a distribution in specie of units in real estate investment trusts (Reits) that it holds. 

    The real estate investment manager trades at a superior book-value multiple compared with Singapore-listed property groups City Developments Limited (CDL) and UOL Group .
