Last week, we reviewed different types of S-REITs, and many tigers shared your favorite picks in the comments section. Click here for details: S-REITs Hit 52 Week High! Why Do We Invest in REITs?

As it turns out, the REITs selected by tigers have all performed well in the first half of the year! This week, let’s take a look at the S-REITs that have hit all-time highs or 52-week highs year-to-date.

In the first half of 2025, retail investors were net buyers of S-REITs, with total net inflows of approximately SGD 400 million as of June 26. In contrast, institutional investors were net sellers, with more than SGD 500 million in net outflows.

Several S-REITs, including CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT), and Parkway Life REIT stood out by attracting net institutional inflows despite the broader sell-off trend.

1. $Frasers HTrust(ACV.SI)$ reached an all-time high of SGD 0.705 today, with a YTD gain of 21.53%.

Frasers Hospitality Trust is the first S-REIT focused on global hotels and serviced residences, with properties located in major cities around the world. Its annual dividend yield is approximately 3.2% (TTM).

2. $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ reached a new 52-week high of SGD 2.25 in early July, with a YTD gain of 15.38%.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) is the largest integrated commercial REIT in Singapore, primarily holding shopping malls and office complexes such as Raffles City and ION Orchard. With stable rental income, its distributions have been steadily growing, and its dividend yield is around 4.9% (TTM).

3. $First Reit(AW9U.SI)$ reached a new 52-week high of SGD 0.275 in early July, with a YTD gain of 12.70%.

First REIT focuses on healthcare facilities in Southeast Asia, including hospitals and nursing homes, with resilient demand boosted by the pandemic. Its properties are secured by long-term leases, generating stable cash flows, and the dividend yield remains high at approximately 8.5%.

4. $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SI)$ reached a new 52-week high of SGD 2.29 in early July, with a YTD gain of 7.63%.

Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT) is a core retail REIT that owns suburban malls such as Northpoint and Causeway Point, serving Singapore’s heartland residential communities. Its dividend yield (TTM) stands at 5.53%.

5. $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$ reached a new 52-week high of SGD 2.35 in early July, with a YTD gain of 3.59%.

Keppel DC REIT specializes in data center infrastructure, with a portfolio spanning the Asia-Pacific and North America. Its assets benefit from long-term leases and high-entry-barrier properties supported by demand from cloud computing and digital services. The dividend yield ranges between 4% and 5%.

What do you think?

  1. Which of these high-performing REITs do you believe still have room to grow in the second half of 2025?

  2. With retail investors buying and institutions selling, whose side are you on and why?

  3. Many REITs have yet to recover from the post-2020 decline.

  4. Compared to equities, do S-REITs lack growth potential?

  5. What percentage of your portfolio would you allocate to REITs?

    I believe CICT and Keppel dc reit would still have room to grow in the second half of 2025. CapitaLand holds most of the malls that Singaporeans are familiar with and with limited entertainment and nature in Singapore, it has become the favourite pastime for Singaporeans. I believe Keppel dc reit will be able to continue to ride the AI and tech wave, with increased demand yet limited supply in land scarce singapore.


    With the fed expected to cut rates, SREITs would have room to rise so im definitely on the side of retail investors.


    Compared to US and China/HK equities, SREITs do lack growth potential but that is not the main aim. The aim of SREITs is their great dividend, often at least 4%. This is decent and my aim is to continue adding to them so that I have a decent dividend to rely on for retirement. I allocate about 10% to SREITs as I am still young and would still like to chase some good returns.

    I believe CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Keppel DC REIT still have growth potential in the second half of 2025. CICT benefits from strong retail and office recovery with key assets like ION Orchard, while Keppel DC REIT rides on digitalisation trends, supported by stable long-term leases in the data centre space.

    Despite institutional selling, I side with retail investors who have been steadily buying. The steady inflows reflect confidence in S-REITs' resilience and dividend yields. It is also telling that some REITs, like CICT and Parkway Life, attracted net institutional inflows, hinting at selective institutional support.

    S-REITs may not match equities in growth, but their stability and income appeal are strong. I allocate about 20 to 25 percent of my portfolio to REITs for diversification and consistent dividend income, especially in uncertain markets.

    🌟🌟🌟Are SG Reits Dividend Kings or Value Traps?  To me SReits are income focused vehicles, not moonshot growth plays.  SReits offer me a great source of passive income with nice, juicy dividends which is heaps better than putting money in   savings deposits.

    However not all SReits are created equal.  My favourite SReit is $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ which is currently the largest SReit in Singapore with a market capitalisation of SGD 16.02 billion.

    Being the largest SReit matter because it means better liquidity, easier to trade and more likely to be held by big institutions and ETFs.  It is also backed by Temasek Holdings.

    CICT's scale gives it pricing power, tenant diversity and resilience, making it one of my core holdings for income focused investors like me.

    With a current dividend yield of 4.98%, it is money in my pockets  while I sleep, not forgetting capital growth.  Maximum power at  minimum cost!
