PROSPECTS
aReit Prop’s business strategy is to invest in yield-enhancing assets and areas that offer consistent, long-
term rental growth. The asset and property management function are carried out internally by aReit
Prop’s experienced management team with a view to extracting maximum value from each property.
There is no intention to gear the existing leasehold properties.
With a secure minimum rental income, upside potential with variable income, a strong balance sheet
and no gearing, aReit Prop has a solid base that will provide the ability to invest in various real estate
sectors both locally and internationally through further property acquisitions. The Group expects that it
will be able to add significantly to its property portfolio on a yield-enhancing basis for its investors over
time.
