In May, ART said it would not be redeeming its S$250 million, 4.68 per cent perp on its first call date the following month, in the first such non-call move for Reit perps.

Other perps with upcoming reset dates include Keppel Reit's 4.98 per cent perp with a call date on Nov 2, 2020 and Frasers' Hospitality Reit's 4.45 per cent perp with a call date on May 12, 2021.For daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend. Subscribe to
