Reits that Don’t Trade Well Should Be Privatised, or Sell Assets and Be Liquidated
OUE Real Estate Investment Trust is weighing a sale of its flagship asset, One Raffles Place, which is priced between S$2.3 billion and S$2.4 billion. The trust holds an effective 68 percent interest, contributing roughly 25 percent of its portfolio revenue, yet trades S$0.56 below net asset value per unit. A successful transaction could unlock value and enable either a full liquidation of the trust or its privatization at or above book value. The board’s decision reflects broader pressure on Singapore REITs that trade at deep discounts.
