The Manager of Ascott Reit (Manager) is committed
to and adopts a proactive approach towards timely,
consistent and transparent communication to Ascott
Reit’s various stakeholders on a regular basis.
We actively engage our stakeholders, including
investors, media and analysts, to keep them
well-informed in a timely manner of all major
corporate developments that may have an impact
on Ascott Reit. The Manager makes disclosures on
an immediate basis as required under the Listing
Manual, or as soon as possible where immediate
disclosure is not practicable. All announcements,
press releases and presentation slides relating to
Ascott Reit’s latest corporate developments are
disclosed promptly through SGXNet and are also
archived on Ascott Reit’s corporate website at
. Ascott Reit’s corporate website
is also updated regularly to ensure that any relevant
information concerning Ascott Reit is readily available
to the stakeholders.
In 2015, the Manager conducted two financial results
briefing sessions for analysts and media – the first was
in January in connection with the announcement of
full-year financial results for the financial year ended
2014 (FY 2014), while the second was in July in
connection with the half-year financial results for
the financial year ended 2015 (1H 2015). In addition,
the Manager hosted quarterly post-results investor
meetings to provide updates on Ascott Reit’s
performance, strategies and market outlook. The
presentation slides for such meetings are also
uploaded to the SGXNet. The annual general meeting
is another platform where the Manager engages and
interacts with the Unitholders, updating them on Ascott
Reit’s performance and business developments while
also providing the Manager an opportunity to better
understand any issues the Unitholders may have.
Familiarisation visits to Ascott Reit’s properties are also
arranged upon request from analysts and investors
throughout the year, as part of the investor relations’
efforts to enhance the investment community’s
understanding of Ascott Reit.
The Manager also regularly communicates with
the various stakeholders through one-on-one
meetings and participation in investor conferences
and roadshows to maintain engagement with the
existing stakeholders, as well as foster new ties
with prospective investors. These meetings and
events provide opportunities for the Manager to
share business updates, perspectives on the market
outlook, as well as to understand issues that may
be of concern to the investing community. In 2015,
Ascott Reit participated in various conferences and
roadshows held in Kuala Lumpur, London, Singapore,
Paris, The Netherlands, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The
Manager has met more than 150 institutional investors
through these events and other various meetings.
In addition, the Manager pursues opportunities
to engage its retail investors through large group
seminars. In 2015, we participated in retail investor
seminars hosted by UOB Kay Hian and Philip
Securities as well as the inaugural REITs Symposium
2015 jointly organised by Real Estate Investment Trust
Association of Singapore (REITAS) and Shareinvestor.
