Abstract: Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), though operating in the same industry as property developers and full service property companies, possess several distinguishing features. REITs are subject to closer regulatory oversight and in Singapore, are required to comply with Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) norms including at least 75% of the REIT’s property being income generating in nature, a maximum loan to value ratio of 45%, a minimum distribution payout of 90% and development activity restricted to 10% of property value.
