Frasers Logistic &amp; Commercial Trust was the one of the five stocks of the STI Reserve List that maintained the highest market capitalisation on the 8 April close. The key reason Frasers Logistic &amp; Commercial Trust is joining the STI is because of its market capitalisation of S$5.0 billion, which is attributed to the merger of Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust and Frasers Commercial Trust, completed in April 2020. This brings the total number of REITs within the STI to seven, with a combined Index weight of 15%. As tabled below, this makes REITs the third largest Sector of the STI, by Index weight, after Financials and Industrials.

Prior to the March 8 open, Jardine Strategic Holdings announced that it had agreed to Jardine Matheson Holdings proposal to acquire the 15% of Jardine Strategic Holdings share capital that it does not already own. The proposal was approved at a special general meeting last night on 12 April. This has seen Jardine Strategic Holdings omitted from the STI effective today, which has made room for Frasers Logistics &amp; Commercial Trust. 
Jardine Strategic Holdings has averaged S$56 million a day in trading turnover a day in the 2021 year to 12 April. The remaining SGX listings of the Jardines Group (“Group”), Jardine Matheson Holdings, Hongkong Land, Jardine Cycle &amp; Carriage (“JC&amp;C”), Dairy Farm International and Mandarin Oriental have averaged combined trading turnover of S$70 million a day in the 2021 year to 12 April. Despite four of these five stocks maintaining a secondary listing on SGX, the majority of their day-to-day trading volume is transacted on SGX.  Jardine Matheson Holdings Generated Annualised 6.8% Total Returns over the Past 10 years 
As the listed holding company of the Group, Jardine Matheson Holdings maintains interests in Jardine Pacific, Jardine International Motors, and Jardine Strategic Holdings. Jardine Strategic Holdings has maintained interests in Hongkong Land, Dairy Farm International, Mandarin Oriental, JC&amp;C and Indonesia-listed Astra International. This means Jardine Strategic Holdings' revenue exposures have been replicable through the other public listings of the Group. 
Jardine Matheson Holdings has been the strongest performer of the SGX listings of the Group over the past 10 years, generating average annualised total returns of 6.8%. By comparison, the annualised total returns of Asia Pacific’s top quartile of Consumer cyclical stocks by market value generated a 5.7% average annualised total return, while the same measure for Industrial stocks saw a 5.3% average annualised total return. Jardine Cycle &amp; Carriage Strategically Serving ASEAN’s Urbanisation &amp; Growing Consumer Class 
JC&amp;C maintains a strong ASEAN focus and highlights that JC&amp;C is a long-term partner of Southeast Asia. Within the SGX-listed companies of the Group, JC&amp;C is a primary listing on SGX. JC&amp;C invests in businesses that participate in key sectors that provide products and services in the infrastructure, housing, energy, transportation, financing and consumables industries. JC&amp;C has a 50.1% interest in Astra, a diversified business group in Indonesia with seven core businesses. While Astra’s contribution to JC&amp;C’s FY20 profit attributable to shareholders declined 57% year-on-year to US$309 million, its Other Strategic Interests segment was comparatively defensive and declined 5% year-on-year to US$120 million. JC&amp;C has generated a total return of 42% since the broad market lows of 23 March 2020. The stock has outpaced benchmarks in the 2021 year to 12 April, with a 19% return, while recipient to net institutional and net proprietary inflows of S$39 million. Since the broad market lows, JC&amp;C has generated returns in-line with ASEAN Consumer Cyclicals. There are approximately 700 ASEAN-listed Consumer Cyclical stocks that have generated a 7% median price return in the 2021 year to 12 April, with a median 42% price recovery since 23 March 2020. 
JC&amp;C currently maintains a P/E ratio of 13x. By comparison, the median P/E of ASEAN-listed Consumer Cyclical stocks is presently 16x, with the median P/E of all Consumer Cyclical stocks listed in Hong Kong and Singapore at 14x. On a P/B basis, JC&amp;C is trading at 0.98x, compared to the ASEAN-listed Consumer Cyclicals median at 1.03x, and 0.92x median for the Consumer Cyclical stocks listed in the Hong Kong and Singapore financial centres.

The portfolio value of approximately $6.2 billion has grown by approximately 170% from the IPO portfolios of Frasers Logistics &amp; Industrial Trust and Frasers Commercial Trust.
