Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Under a rate cut cycle, REITs historically outperform as risk free rates going down and share price would go up to maintain the same interest rate spread</li>
<li>Besides, the rate cut cycle would provide ample room for Link REIT to carry out more M&amp;As and expand its portfolio, to drive earnings and DPU growth</li>
<li>Link REIT currently offers 6.6% yield, and we think there is at least 15-20% upside from current valuation</li>
