Hopes not fading for CapitaLand's Ascott Residence Trust

"Geographically diversified portfolio" is a big help.

CapitaLand also reasoned that its extended stay business model will help the property developer cope with prevailing uncertain global economic conditions, according to its presentation titled "Presentation for UBS Global Real Estate CEO/CFO Conference in London, UK" disclosed to the Singapore Exchange.

CapitaLand further also credited its earnings optimistm to its properties, particularly in Europe, which it said are underpinned by master leases and serviced residence contracts with minimum guaranteed income. CapitaLand also expects its portfolio in the region will be further enlarged with the acquisition of Madison Hamburg in 4Q 2012.

The developer said it will continue to focus on yield-accretiive acquisitions in countriies where it operates. It also plans to explore opportunities in Asia as well as London, Paris and key cities in Germany.

"The Group remains confident in the markets it operates in," it said, adding that "Operating performance for FY2012 is expected to remain profitable."

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.
