In Singapore, the suite of iEdge S-Reit Indices measures the performance of Reits listed on SGX. The suite comprises the iEdge S-Reit index, widely regarded as one of S-Reits' barometers, and a narrower subset of it, the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index.

The iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index is a narrow, tradable, adjusted free-float market capitalisation weighted index that measures the performance of the most liquid trusts in Singapore. Constituents must be listed on SGX and classified under Reits as defined by the Factset Revere Business Industry Classification System. The trust must also have free float of at least 20 per cent and a free float market capitalisation of at least S$500 million.

All eligible trusts are screened for liquidity at the semi-annual rebalancing in March and September. To enter the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index, eligible trusts must trade at least US$500,000 in daily turnover and a 0.10 per cent daily trading velocity of the free float market capitalisation.

To maintain an existing place, constituents must maintain US$400,000 in daily turnover and a 0.08 per cent daily trading velocity of the free float market capitalisation. 
Following Lendlease Global Commercial REIT’s (LREIT) addition in March 2021, there are currently 27 constituents in the iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index. 
LReit has a diversified portfolio comprising of a leasehold interest in, 313@somerset, a prime retail property located in Singapore and a freehold interest in Sky Complex, which comprises three grade-A office buildings located in Milan.

In October 2020, LReit acquired a 5.0 per cent stake in Lendlease Asian Retail Investment Fund 3, which indirectly holds a 75.0 per cent interest in Jem, an integrated office and retail development in Singapore.

Comparing total returns, the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index (-0.9 per cent), proved to be more resilient than the broader iEdge S-Reit Index (-2.6 per cent) and the FTSE EPRA/Nareit Global Reits Index (-12.0 per cent) last year.

Though the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index (+4.0 per cent) lagged the global benchmark (+25.1 per cent) in 2021 year-to-date, it outperformed in the long term. The five-year total returns of the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index came in at 60.6 per cent versus FTSE EPRA/Nareit Global Reit Index's 28.2 per cent. This was mostly led by S-Reits with data centre, industrial, and healthcare assets. 
The constituents with the highest five-year total returns include: Keppel DC REIT (+175.6 per cent), Mapletree Logistics Trust (+168.0 per cent), ParkwayLife REIT (+133.2 per cent), Mapletree Industrial Trust (+123.9 per cent) and Frasers Logistics and Commercial Trust (+113.8 per cent). Together, the five trusts make up approximately 36 per cent of the overall index weightage.

Products tracking the iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index include the SGX iEdge S-Reit Leaders Index Futures and the Syfe Reit+ portfolio.

Singapore real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) and property trusts continue to increase assets under management (AUMs).

This year, 15 acquisitions have been announced valued at over S$5 billion. Of these, 11 were industrial and logistics-related properties.

Three of the largest announced were by Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT), Ascendas Reit and Frasers Logistics &amp; Commercial Trust (FLCT).

MIT proposed in May to buy 29 data centres across 18 states in the United States for close to S$1.8 billion. MIT said the acquisition aligns with its strategy to increase its portfolio of data centres, and diversifies MIT's footprint across US data centre markets. Its portfolio of data centres will increase to S$4.6 billion (or 53.6 per cent of its total portfolio) post-acquisition, making MIT one of the largest owners of data centres among Asia-Pacific-listed Reits by AUM. 
Ascendas Reit announced in March the acquisition of 11 data centres across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland for S$904.6 million. Ninety-three per cent of the acquired portfolio is located in key European data centre markets that benefit from being close and connected to large population centres. The acquisition expands the Reit's existing data centre portfolio from 4 per cent to 10 per cent.

FLCT proposed in May to buy six properties in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK for S$548.7 million. The six properties include four logistics and industrial properties in Germany and the Netherlands, and a logistics and industrial property as well as a business park in the UK. This marks the Reit's maiden entry into the UK logistics sector.  REIT Watch is a weekly column on The Business Times, <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/s-reits-ytd-asset-acquisitions-exceed-s5-billion">read</a> the original version.
