This is the first 5 months of result after the ARF acquisition, as such, there is no apple to apple comparison for the performance. After this acquisition, FCT has performed capital recycling by divesting 3 properties namely Bedok Point, Anchorpoint and YewTee Point, where the divestment of Yew Tee Point is expected to complete on 28 May 2021. With the gradual economic recovery and vaccination in Singapore, FCT performance is expected to be improved in the coming quarters.
