United Hampshire US Reit eyes ‘opportunistic divestments’, accretive acquisitions in growth plans
The CEO of the trust’s manager of the Reit is confident of reaching the target of US$1 billion in assets under management by 2026
SINCE it listed on the Singapore Exchange four years ago, retail-focused United Hampshire US Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) has seen its assets under management (AUM) jump 30 per cent, from around US$580 million to about US$770 million.
This is despite a host of factors thwarting its growth, including higher interest rates and the Covid-19 pandemic.
With interest rates coming down, Gerard Yuen, the chief executive officer of the Reit manager, is optimistic that the Reit can hit its target AUM of US$1 billion by 2026.
