Stoneweg EREIT manager eyes REIT conversion to stapled trust

It will comprise Stoneweg European REIT and Stoneweg European Business Trust.

Stoneweg EREIT Management, as the manager of Stoneweg European Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), said the REIT is proposed to be converted into a stapled trust.

It will comprise Stoneweg European REIT and Stoneweg European Business Trust. The stapled group would be known as Stoneweg European Stapled Trust (SERT).

The manager believes the proposal will benefit unitholders by providing Stoneweg European REIT with a future-proof corporate structure with optimal tax efficiency.

Furthermore, it will reduce reliance on passive rental income, balancing the more passive income stability of a REIT with the growth potential of a business trust.

Whilst the REIT component benefits from preferential tax treatment in Singapore, having a stapled REIT-BT structure may allow for greater tax structuring flexibility, especially in Europe.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
