All those tycoons from our neighbouring ASEAN countries, coming from an ethnic minority and being able to rise to the top in an environment which many a time almost borders on racial discrimination.... are never simple...Tongue

Fully agree with you , if they are simple, they wouldn't be multi billion-airs now.
I invested in YTL Corp for many years and am still happy with Francis Yeoh's management. Believe those long-term shareholders of YTL Corp who invested in him are happy with the total return of their investments.

Local Retail REITs: Outlook remains sanguine

Local retail landlords ended 2Q13 on a positive note, with results mostly in line with our expectations.

Aggregate leverage for the quarter has also improved sequentially across the board. Notably, a significant portion of the REITs’ existing borrowings are either based on fixed rates or hedged. This will likely limit the impact of rising interest rates on the REITs’ DPUs and yields.

Looking ahead, we are maintaining our positive view on the local retail REITs due to AEI activities and better rental rates for the leases due for renewal. In addition, the local retail landscape has remained largely stable.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) 2Q13 Singapore property market review report, the growth in rents island-wide is likely to range between 0% and 0.2%, while capital values grow by 2.7%-3.8% in 2013.

We are keeping our OVERWEIGHT rating on the local retail REIT subsector. Starhill Global REIT remains as our preferred pick, due to its apparent growth drivers, higher-than-average yield of 6.8% and compelling valuation (0.88x P/B).

Isetan to close shop at Wisma Atria

Quote:SINGAPORE: Japanese department store operator Isetan has announced plans to stop its own retailing operations at its Wisma Atria store from the second quarter of 2015.

In a stock exchange filing on Friday (Dec 26), Isetan said it intends however, to continue retail activities and food and beverage services at the premises "by housing tenants and providing the necessary facilities management".

While it will endeavour to lease out all floors of the premises, Isetan added that it may not be able to achieve full tenancy, because of market conditions or commercial reasons. This could mean that Isetan may continue operating retail activities in that part of the premises until tenants are found.

Isetan Orchard has been at Wisma Atria since 1986.

Isetan said it will continue to operate its own department store operations in the Orchard Road shopping belt via its Isetan Scotts Store in Shaw House. It also has other four stores in the suburbs - at Tampines, Katong, Serangoon Central and Jurong East - and Isetan reiterated that it is committed to its long-term purpose of running department stores and supermarkets.

Isetan posted a net loss of S$1.2 million for Q2, and had earlier warned that it expects to report a loss for the third quarter of the year, ended Sep 30.

This doesn't sound good for Starhill.
