More merging within Singapore REIT sector. This time is joint forces of 2 Capitaland Giant REITs, Capitaland Mall Trust (SGX: C38U / CMT) and Capitaland Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U / CCT), forming Singapore Largest Reit, also the third largest in Asia Pacific. CCT shares will be converted into CMT.
Both CMT and CCT are better than parent company, Capitaland, in the perspective of stock investment. CMT (which owns about 70% shopping malls in Singapore) is relatively stronger and more defensive than CCT, less susceptible to economic cycle.
A giant is not defined by the size. An investor may not need to buy the biggest REIT (eg. American Tower, NYSE: AMT – largest REIT in the world, or LinkReit, HKEx: 0823 – largest REIT in Asia), but it has to be the strongest REIT. There are hundreds of REITs globally, an investor should carefully select a suitable REIT aligned to own personality, eg. as a dividend stock for passive income or as a growth stock for longer term investing or even for short term gain with momentum trading.
