Today I walk Angela through a rare good news day, three SGX REITS all posting real double digit DPU growth and a new 20 year Singapore green bond setting the backdrop for your retirement income. We unpack what is really driving Keppel DC, OUE REIT and Alpha Integrated, and why the same DPU headline can hide very different engines under the hood. We then connect that to Singapore’s first 20 year sovereign green bond at 2.4 percent, and what that yield says about long term CPF, SRS and REIT income for a Bedok household investor. If you listen on the MRT, you should step off knowing exactly which numbers to check before you celebrate any “DPU up” headline.
Key takeaways:
OUE REIT’s H1 DPU jumps 28.6 percent to 1.26 cents, driven by hospitality and Salesforce Tower income.
Keppel DC REIT’s DPU rises 11.3 percent to 5.714 cents, powered by rent escalations and data centre acquisitions.
Alpha Integrated REIT delivers 19.4 percent DPU growth to 2.03 cents, mainly from cost savings and stronger leasing.
MLT recycles its portfolio by divesting China and Changi assets, tightening focus on core properties.
Singapore’s first 20 year green bond prices S$2.6 billion at 2.4 percent, giving a new reference point for long term income.
