Straits Trading and Alta team up to launch FIR-ST scheme

Investors will also benefit from market-adjusted dividends.

Straits Trading has partnered with Alta to launch a fund that offers investors fractional ownership in Singapore's prime private real estate through the FIR-ST scheme.

FIR-ST provides a way to access real estate investments in sought-after areas, such as District 10, without the complexities of property acquisition, landlord responsibilities, or additional buyer's stamp duty. Investors will also benefit from market-adjusted dividends, with Straits Trading managing operational costs.

Singapore’s real estate sector is projected to grow at an annual rate of 4.5%, supported by high demand in both residential and commercial segments. Recent data from PropNex Research indicated that the landed homes market remained robust in early 2024, with 681 transactions totaling $3.7 billion.

The Good Class Bungalow segment also saw heightened interest, with nine significant transactions amounting to $219 million, showing continued demand despite high interest rates and economic uncertainty.

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.
