First Real Estate Investment Trust

First Real Estate Investment Trust (First REIT) is an investment trust established through a Trust Deed on October 19, 2006. It was initially formed with First REIT Management Limited (formerly Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited) acting as the Manager and HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited as the Trustee. The trust commenced trading on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on December 11, 2006. Subsequently, on March 1, 2018, Perpetual (Asia) Limited assumed the role of Trustee, succeeding HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited. As Singapore's inaugural healthcare-focused real estate investment trust, First REIT's mandate is to acquire and manage a diverse portfolio of income-generating real estate and related assets across Asia, primarily dedicated to healthcare or healthcare-related uses. Its portfolio, overseen by First REIT Management Limited, currently encompasses 20 properties spread across Indonesia, Singapore, and South Korea. These assets include a mix of hospitals (like the Siloam Hospitals chain), nursing homes, hospitality properties (such as The Imperial Aryaduta Hotel & Country Club), and retail components (like Lippo Plaza). Operationally, Indonesian hospital assets are managed by PT Siloam International Hospitals Tbk, a highly reputable healthcare provider and a subsidiary of PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk. The hospitality components, including The Imperial Aryaduta Hotel & Country Club and Hotel Aryaduta Manado, are under The Aryaduta Hotel and Resort Group, while retail centers such as Lippo Plaza Kupang and Lippo Plaza Buton are overseen by PT Lippo Malls Indonesia. In Singapore, Pacific Healthcare Nursing Home Pte. Ltd. and Pacific Eldercare and Nursing Pte. Ltd. manage the nursing homes at Bukit Merah and Bukit Panjang, respectively, with The Lentor Residence operated by The Lentor Residence Pte. Ltd. Sarang Hospital in South Korea is operated by an independent medical practitioner. Investing in First REIT provides exposure to Asia's expanding healthcare sector, a market poised for significant growth due to increasing life expectancy across Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian region.
