<li>
Effective the June 22 open, Mapletree Industrial Trust will join the STI with an indicative index weight of 1.6%. This will bring the total of number of REITs in the STI to six, with an indicative combined weighting near 12.5%. 
	 </li>
	<li>
Since listing in October 2010, Mapletree Industrial Trust has generated average annualised total returns of 19% and grown its portfolio from 70 properties valued at S$2.1 billion, to 114 properties valued at S$5.9 billion (including joint ventures). 
	 </li>
	<li>
The STI Reserve List, which has averaged 3% total returns in the 2020 year to 5 June on S$122 million on net institutional inflow, will include Keppel DC REIT, Suntec REIT, NetLink NBN Trust, Frasers Logistics &amp; Commercial Trust and Keppel REIT. 
	 
	Last week, the Straits Times Index (“STI”) was the strongest benchmark across Asia Pacific, generating a total return of 9.6%, bringing its 2020 year-to-date decline in total return to 13.2%. After the Thursday close, FTSE Russell announced that as part of the quarterly rebalancing, Mapletree Industrial Trust was added to the STI, with Singapore Press Holdings (“SPH”) omitted. Quarterly STI reviews are a highly competitive process with the Index maintaining a fixed number of 30 constituents. The process involves ranking stocks of the broader FTSE ST All-Share Index by market capitalisation and a stock will be inserted into the STI at the quarterly review if it rises to 20th position or above when the eligible securities are ranked by full market capitalisation or will be deleted at the quarterly review if it falls to 41st position or below.   Mapletree Industrial Trust’s 19.4% Annualised Total Returns since IPO 
	This year, Mapletree Industrial Trust has generated a total return of 8.2% through to 5 June, on S$33.5 million of net institutional inflow. This has brought Mapletree Industrial Trust’s annualised total returns since listing in October 2010 to 19.4% and has seen its market capitalisation rise from approximately S$1.7 billion on its debut, to S$6.0 billion at present. 
	Since the end of 2010, the S-REIT Sector total market capitalisation has grown from S$35 billion to approximately S$100 billion as of 5 June 2020. The same period of time has seen the number of REITs in the STI rise from one to six effective 22 June. SPH has also been a part of the significant expansion of the S-REIT Sector over the past 10 years, with the spin-off of Paragon and The Clementi Mall into SPH REIT in July 2013. From 23 July 2013, through to 5 June 2020, SPH REIT has since delivered investors 5.1% average annualised total returns. SPH REIT currently maintains a market capitalisation of S$2.5 billion, in comparison to SPH’s S$2.2 billion. As noted in its FY19 Annual Report (click <a href="http://sphreit.listedcompany.com/ar.html">here</a>) as of 10 October 2019, SPH maintained a 70% deemed interest (approximately S$1.75 billion on the 5 June close) in SPH REIT. As detailed in the table below Mapletree Industrial Trust will join the STI on the 22 June open with an indicative index weight of 1.6%. This will bring the total of number of REITs in the STI to six, with an indicative combined weighting close to 12.5%.

Sixth REIT, Mapletree Industrial Trust, to Join STI on 22 June





Keppel DC REIT, Mapletree Logistics Trust &amp; Parkway Life REIT have generated gains in the 2020 YTD, leading the overall S-REIT Sector which has averaged a 22% decline over the period, with an average 38% decline to 23 March, and an average 28% gain from 23 March to 27 April.  
	 
	
Keppel DC REIT, Mapletree Logistics Trust &amp; Parkway Life REIT are also amongst the 22 S-REITs that report more than a third of their revenue to Singapore. Of the 22 S-REITs, 14 have been listed for the past 10 years with average annualised total returns of 7%.   
	 
	
In line with its capital recycling strategy and in order to realise profits that can be redeployed to capture new opportunities, Keppel T&amp;T has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with a placement agent for the sale of 38 million units in Keppel DC REIT at S$2.42 per Sale Unit. 


 

With a combined market value of S$90 billion, S-REITs make up 11% of the market capitalisation of all stocks in Singapore. Growing investor participation in recent years has seen REITs contributing 29% of daily turnover in the 2020 year to 27 April.

The majority of the S-REIT market capitalisation and S$425 million in average daily turnover in the 2020 year to 27 April is made up of the 22 REITs or Stapled Trusts that report at least one-third of their revenue to Singapore.



      
    
    Revenue Exposure

There has been less distinction in the 2020 year-to-date total returns, with the 22 S-REITs that report more than a third of their revenue to Singapore seeing similar swings as the S-REITs that report less than a third to none of their revenue to Singapore. As illustrated below, the two genres of S-REITs saw similar declines in the 2020 year through to 23 March, and similar partial recoveries from 23 March to 27 April.

Trio of REITs that have Lodged Gains in 2020 YTD

The 22 S-REITs that report more than a third of their revenue to Singapore included the three strongest S-REITs in the 2020 year through to 27 April that bucked the global trend of declines.

Keppel DC REIT generated a 22.2% total return in the 2020 year through to 27 April, with Mapletree Logistics Trust (“MLT”) gaining 4.2% and Parkway Life REIT (“PLIFE REIT”) gaining 0.9%. Both Keppel DC REIT and MLT were amongst the three S-REITs that saw the highest net institutional inflows over the 17 weeks.

In its 1QFY20 Key Business and Operational Update (click here), Keppel DC REIT reported its 1QFY20 (ended 31 Mar)  gross revenue rose 25.5% from 1QFY19.

Prior to the 28 April session, Keppel Corporation announced that Keppel Telecommunications &amp; Transportation (“Keppel T&amp;T”), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Keppel DC Investment Holdings had on 27 April 2020 entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Credit Suisse (Singapore) Limited as the placement agent for the sale of 38 million units in Keppel DC REIT.

These sales units represent approximately 2.33% of the total issued units in Keppel DC REIT, with a consideration of S$2.42 per sale unit. In line with the Group’s capital recycling strategy, the sale allows Keppel T&amp;T to realise profits that can be redeployed to capture new opportunities.

Mapletree Logisitics Trust Performance Underpinned by Stable Operations &amp; Accretive Acquisition

On 23 April, MLT reported its FY19/20 (ended 31 Mar) DPU rose 2.5% from FY18/19 to 8.142 cents. The Managers of MLT maintained that currently most of its tenants across its eight markets are operational: In MLT’s top three core markets, for Hong Kong SAR ;and Japan, all tenants remain fully operational, while for Singapore about 5% of its tenant base is impacted.  The Managers added that there are strict government measures in certain markets, its tenants’ operations have remained largely intact:


Overall, tenants from the retail, hospitality and travel industries, which account for about 10% of MLT’s revenue, are the hardest hit by COVID-19; while
	Tenants who serve essential daily needs, such as food and beverage products, consumer staples and healthcare, continue to see healthy levels of activity, especially for the ecommerce operators. These sectors account for over 30% of MLT’s revenue.

PLife REIT Reported Stable Performance Amidst COVID-19 Outbreak in 1Q20 

On 22 April, PLife REIT reported its DPU in 1QFY20 (ended 31 Mar) grew by 1.4% to 3.32 Singapore cents, from 3.28 Singapore cents in 1QFY19. Gross revenue rose 5.2% year-on-year (“Y-O-Y”) to S$29.9 million in 1Q 2020. Growth was largely attributed to additional revenue contribution from the three Japan properties acquired in 4QFY19, upward revision of the minimum guaranteed rent for Singapore hospitals by 1.61% as well as the appreciation of Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The Group also noted it is setting aside S$1.7 million to provide targeted assistance and support measures for affected tenants as needed. As part of PLife REIT’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its balance sheet through proactive debt management, the Group successfully secured a six-year up to S$82.0 million committed loan facility during the quarter.
