Sunlight Real Estate Investment Trust ('Sunlight REIT')

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 August 2025 - Henderson Sunlight Asset Management Limited (the 'Manager') announces the interim results of Sunlight REIT for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the 'Reporting Period'). Sunlight REIT recorded a 4.8% year-on-year decline in revenue to HK$391.2 million for the Reporting Period. Net property income was down by 5.4% to HK$307.4 million and the cost-to-income ratio was 21.4%. Distributable income was relatively sturdy with a mild drop of 1.8% to HK$168.6 million, reflecting the positive impact from an approximately 14% savings in cash interest expense to HK$91.5 million. The Board has resolved to declare an interim distribution per unit of HK 9.1 cents, representing a payout ratio of 93.8% and an annualized distribution yield of 8.1% based on the closing price of HK$2.26 on the last trading day of the Reporting Period. At 30 June 2025, the appraised value of Sunlight REIT's real estate portfolio was HK$17,630.5 million. Total assets stood at HK$18,220.2 million, while its net assets attributable to unitholders came in at HK$12,634.1 million, implying a net asset value of HK$7.27 per unit. Operating Highlights The overall occupancy rate of Sunlight REIT's portfolio at 30 June 2025 was 89.2% as compared to 91.3% at 31 December 2024, of which the office occupancy rate dropped to 90.0%, while the retail occupancy rate came in at 87.6%. At 30 June 2025, the passing rent of the office portfolio declined mildly by 1.2% from six months ago to HK$31.7 per sq. ft., while that of the retail portfolio was stable at HK$65.5 per sq. ft. At 30 June 2025, the occupancy rate of Dah Sing Financial Centre was 90.6%, while its passing rent remained steady at HK$36.3 per sq. ft. As for the retail portfolio, Sheung Shui Centre Shopping Arcade recorded a lower occupancy rate of 87.0% at 30 June 2025, but its passing rent registered a slight improvement to HK$105.2 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, due to the departure of an education tenant in the second quarter of 2025, the occupancy rate of Metro City Phase I Property slipped to 87.1%, while its passing rent was HK$53.9 per sq. ft. Mr. Au Siu Kee, Alexander, Chairman of the Manager, said, 'Hong Kong's commercial property market has yet to benefit from a more stable economic setting as the ongoing headwinds remain stiff, and the pressure of negative rental reversion is likely to stay. However, we are delighted to report that the refinancing of borrowings maturing in the next 12 months is progressing smoothly with favourable indicative pricing, underscoring the financial strength of Sunlight REIT. In sum, while it is envisaged that operational hurdles are bound to persist, the possibility of lower funding costs may help alleviate pressure on distributable income.'

Ninja Van Malaysia launches 44 new international delivery lanes, extends cross-border reach

KUALA LUMPUR: Ninja Van Malaysia has launched 44 new international delivery lanes, extending its cross-border reach to 46 destinations worldwide in a move aimed at helping Malaysian businesses scale into global markets at significantly lower costs. The new routes span Asia-Pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe, adding to existing services to Singapore and the Philippines. With delivery times ranging from seven to 12 days and shipping rates starting at RM70, the service is more than 50% cheaper than conventional cross-border options, making it one of the most affordable logistics solutions available to local brands. 'This launch makes the world no longer out of reach for Malaysian brands,' CEO Lin Zheng said during the event. 'With 46 international lanes, we are offering a practical and cost-effective way for local businesses to enter new markets, build a global customer base and grow with confidence. Our goal is to remove the friction from cross-border logistics so that businesses can focus on what they do best, creating, innovating and scaling.' For Lin, the launch marks the beginning of a bigger vision: 'Today is just one step but an important one, towards making Malaysia not just a logistics hub, but a launchpad for regional and international success.' Ninja Van cross-border regional vice president Jeremy Hong said: 'Our goal is simple, to eliminate the friction from cross-border logistics so businesses can scale without limits.' While Malaysia has seen strong entrepreneurial momentum in recent years, high shipping costs, complex customs processes and limited infrastructure remain key challenges for SMEs seeking to export. Ninja Van's expanded network aims to close this gap by offering SMEs a cost-effective, integrated solution to ship globally. The company's advanced logistics platform allows sellers to manage both domestic and international deliveries through a single dashboard, without needing new accounts or system integrations. Orders can be processed within minutes, using the same workflow as local deliveries. Domestically, the company operates a 260,000 square foot hub in Shah Alam, supported by more than 160 hubs, 5,000 pick-up and drop-off points and a fleet of 7,000 vehicles. Regionally, Ninja Van delivers over two million parcels daily and has enabled more than 270,000 merchants to ship across borders. Founded in 2015, Ninja Van Malaysia is part of a wider Southeast Asian network backed by marquee investors including GeoPost, Alibaba Group and B Capital Group. Beyond e-commerce, Ninja Van is laying the groundwork to venture into new logistics verticals, including business-to-business inventory restocking and cold chain solutions, reflecting its ambition to move beyond being just a parcel delivery company. Industry observers note that competitive shipping options are especially critical for SMEs, which often lack the economies of scale of larger corporates. By reducing costs and streamlining processes, Ninja Van's new international lanes may provide the boost smaller brands need to compete in overseas markets.

Three in Four Singaporeans Prioritise Leaving an Inheritance for Future Generations

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 August 2025 - A new report by Etiqa Insurance Singapore spotlights growing trends in intergenerational wealth transfer, with 77% of Singaporeans prioritising leaving a financial legacy to future generations. With two-thirds of Singaporeans having either received, transferred or expect to receive or transfer their wealth, a commitment most pronounced among those aged 55 and above (74%), proactive wealth planning and management for Singaporeans is more crucial than ever. 78% of Singaporeans aged 55 years and above prioritise the importance of discussing inheritance matters with their families, signalling a clear cultural shift toward open and proactive legacy planning. This reflects a broader societal shift towards greater transparency and responsibility in legacy planning, as older Singaporeans recognise the importance of wealth transfer conversations before one's passing. Over half of Singaporeans surveyed (53%) have either received or expect to receive an inheritance. This expectation is even higher among younger Singaporeans, with 62% under the age of 24 expecting to receive an inheritance. This indicates the need for early financial literacy and planning to ensure wealth is managed effectively. Among Singaporeans who expect to receive or give an inheritance, one in five anticipate a windfall of $1 million or more. With large sums potentially involved, financial education becomes key, and recipients need financial planning and management to manage this wealth. Among Singaporeans who have received their inheritance, 53% believe the inheritance plays a critical role in their long-term financial stability. In contrast only 35% of Singaporeans who have yet to receive an inheritance see it as critical factor that ensures their long-term financial stability. As the true value of an inheritance often becomes clear only after it is received, proactive financial guidance is essential to help individuals integrate it effectively into their long-term financial goals. Other key findings of the survey include: --> Nearly half (46%) of Singaporeans have plans to or have already initiated wealth transfers during their lifetime, shifting away from solely relying on transfers upon their passing. --> About half of Singaporeans surveyed (49%) actively use insurance as an instrument for wealth transfer, recognising it as an effective method for legacy planning beyond basic protection. --> Most Singaporeans preparing to pass on wealth involve their family in financial planning conversations (42%) and instilling values of responsibility and diligence (41%). A notable 18% still lack a plan for successor readiness. --> Wealth transfer comes with complexities. Key worries for Singaporeans regarding wealth transfer include family conflict (36%), maintaining their own financial security (34%), and fears of mismanagement of wealth (31%). --> One in three Singaporeans now involve a financial advisor in their wealth transfer planning, reflecting a growing recognition of the critical need for expert guidance in navigating complex legacy decisions. 'Our Wealth Transfer Insights Report findings indicate that wealth transfer is increasingly viewed not just as a financial event, but as a purposeful act of next generation empowerment,' said Raymond Ong, CEO of Etiqa Insurance Singapore. 'It is heartening that Singaporeans are having conversations about wealth planning through open family dialogue and meticulous planning, fundamental to ensuring financial well-being of their families.' 'While Singaporeans demonstrate a strong commitment to securing their family's financial future through wealth transfer, potential challenges such as wealth mismanagement and preserving this wealth for next generation need to be addressed,' Mr. Ong emphasised. 'More strategic and informed legacy planning to bridge existing gaps and fostering continuous open dialogue are essential steps to ensure that legacies not only endure but truly empower future generations.' Etiqa Insurance Singapore supports the community through financial planning literacy workshops and activities designed to empower individuals across all age groups. These initiatives, that will be rolled out in phases in coming years, aim to equip participants with the essential knowledge to protect, grow, and manage their wealth effectively. Find out more at: Etiqa Insurance Singapore Wealth Transfer Insights Report The Etiqa Insurance Singapore Wealth Transfer Insights Report was conducted in collaboration with Kantar in June 2025, surveying 1,008 Singapore citizens and permanent residents across four age groups: Gen Z (18 to 28 years old), Millennials (29 to 43 years old), Gen X (44 to 59 years old), and Seniors (60 and above). This study delves into the attitudes, expectations and strategies around both receiving and passing wealth to the next generation.
