The near term catalyst would be the performance fees if they meet the IRR hurdles once ADF1 is fully divested. Any ideas when the MAS ruling on REIT Managers incentives will be released ?

(Not Vested)

According to a Business Times article couple of days ago, it says in the mth of May. So any time now. Wait and see.

MAS ruling on REIT should be out within the 1-2 month, base on what analysts are saying

The top 20 shareholders of ARA hold a total of 92.72% of the shares, which means there are less than 7.28% available for general retail investors.

Yet, institutional fund houses including Franklin Resources and Mattews International continue to scoop up ARA's shares from the open market.

I guess sooner or later, ARA may have to do something to increase liquidity. Perhaps another bonus issue?

You know bonus issues don't increase liquidity , right? The free float % will still be the same. Only placement will increase free float.

I noticed they had bonus shares for 3 straight years but stopped doing so in 2013 and 2014

Share price shot up significantly today. The only news that I could find was the increased stake in Suntec Reit. In any case, happily vested!

It certainly has bounced back from its recent low of SGD 1.56 in March to SGD 1.82 today - an increase of 16.7% over a period of 2 months which I would consider significant - ha-ha !
