For the first 6 months of 2022, Singapore stocks booked S$154 million of net institutional outflows, with DBS, UOB, Yangzijiang Financial Holding, Mapletree Commercial Trust and Keppel DC Reit recording the most net outflows, while Singtel, City Developments, Keppel Corporation, Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trus booked the most net inflows.

OCBC and Wilmar International led the consideration tally, buying back shares at average prices of S$11.44, and S$4.03 respectively. There were as many as 35 primary-listed stocks that conducted buybacks for the month of June with a total consideration of S$284 million, down from the S$328 million consideration in May.

 Director and substantial shareholder transactions

The 5 trading sessions saw 70 changes to director interests and substantial shareholdings filed for close to 40 primary-listed stocks. This included 19 company director acquisitions with 1 disposal filed, while substantial shareholders filed 8 acquisitions and 5 disposals.

 United Hampshire US Reit

On Jun 28, United Hampshire US Reit Management non-independent non-executive director David Goss acquired 250,000 units of United Hampshire US Reit (UHReit) at an average price of 60.9 US cents per unit. With a consideration of US$152,125, this increased his direct interest from 0.09 per cent per cent to 0.13 per cent. This closely followed his acquisition of 500,000 units, also at 60.9 US cents per unit, between Jun 20 and 22. With a career spanning 50 years, Goss has been the managing director of UOB Global Capital since 1998. 

Recently, United Hampshire US Reit Management CEO Robert Schmitt, and CFO Gerard Yuen, provided Singapore investors with a comprehensive overview of the UHReit portfolio as part of the ongoing SIAS-SGX Corporate Connect Webinar series. UHReit is the first US grocery-anchored shopping centre and self-storage Reit to list in Singapore with a total property value of US$688.5 million as at Dec 31. This includes 20 grocery and necessity properties and four self-storage properties, located across 8 states, across the US east coast. UHReit maintains a conservative gearing ratio of 38.9 per cent, with 79.6 per cent of its borrowings on a fixed rate with no refinancing requirements until 2023. For the industry outlook, Schmitt cited a Green Street Strip Center Sector Update that found brick-and-mortar retail sales growth was 17 per cent higher in 2021 compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019, as retailer interest for space remains strong. He also added that Q1 2022 was a record breaking first quarter for the self-storage industry and that self-storage occupancy remains at all-time highs driven by subdued vacates and sticky incremental demand in a Covid situation.

 

Yangzijiang Financial Holding
