It is certainly great news that the SGX ended the last week of December 2021 with a little bang which brings much needed reprieve from the Omicron variant shock just over a month ago. The performance of Singapore REITs has so far been extremely disappointing.  It has been a lagger in 2021 compared to other sectors and if 2022 is good, hopefully, we can see at least 10% increase in capital appreciation which will bring my overall investment gross portfolio to over the S$1Mil mark. Saying that, as an income focused investor, I am happy to see my projected dividend growing gradually rather than the wild fluctuation up and down in stock prices throughout the year. Mapletree has also announced the proposed merger of 2 of its REITs into a $17 billion asset new entity known as the Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust.
