Check out which S-REIT outperformed the rest in price return YTD

Hospitality REITs in the lead again.

Almost all S-REITs clocked in modest movements this week, with OUE Hospitality Trust bagging best performance and CapitaRetail China Trust going home with a worst performer award.

In a report by RHB Group, the Hospitality REITs were the top performer (+0.2% WoW) last week, mainly driven by OUE Hospitality Trust (OUEHT) which was up 2.1% WoW.

Year-to-date, the Retail REITs were the best performers (+8.8% YTD), while the Office REITs returned the least (-2.1% YTD). Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT) outperformed the rest, generating price return of 15.6% YTD while IREIT Global was the primary laggard, down 10.7% YTD.

According to a report by OCBC, MCT’s Singapore assets registered a decline in occupancy rates for FY15, while overall average rental reversions of 8.0% were achieved.

Management has also mitigated MCT’s financial risks, as it has hedged 80% of its total debt into fixed rates. 80% of its income stream for FY16 have also been hedged into or derived in SGD.

On the flip side, the Office REITs were the worst performers, down 0.9% WoW, pulled down by CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) (-2.3% WoW), despite Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT) booking in 1.0% WoW.

The other segments registered modest movements with Retail, Industrial, and Healthcare REITs gathering -0.3%, -0.5%, -0.6% WoW respectively. OUE Hospitality Trust (OUEHT) was the best performer while CapitaRetail China Trust (CRCT) was the worst performer, down 3.8% WoW.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
