• Total assets under management stood at S$15.2 billion as of 30 June 2026, spanning 15 commercial properties across five Asian gateway markets.

• The quarter saw lower contributions from overseas properties due to divestments, weaker occupancy, negative rental reversions, and FX headwinds.

Financial highlights
