Money and Me: S-REITs at the Turning Point - Income, Opportunity and the New Owners of Property

S-REITs are on track for their strongest year since 2019, delivering double-digit returns as borrowing costs ease and yields remain compelling, but looking ahead, what do investors need to keep an eye on for 2026? The episode explores standout S-REIT sectors, the key metrics that matter most in a falling-rate world, and how income investors can position portfolios today. We also unpack what Hong Kong Land’s move into private funds means for listed REITs like Keppel REIT - and whether dilution risks are rising. Joining the conversation is Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, hosted by Michelle Martin. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Market View: From Bubble Tea to Blue Chips - Who’s Thriving as Singapore Hits 4,600?

Singapore’s food scene is shrinking, Wall Street may never sleep, and the STI just brushed a historic high - but not everyone is celebrating. Market View cuts through the noise as Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang examine why some F&B names like Chagee and Mixue are still expanding even as eateries shutter across the island. They debate whether food-and-beverage stocks remain investable in a high-cost, cut-throat market — and what falling share prices may be signalling. The conversation shifts to the US, where Nasdaq’s plan for near-24-hour trading sparks fresh questions about liquidity, volatility, and trader burnout. In UP or DOWN, Ford’s EV retreat, China chipmaker MetaX’s red-hot IPO debut, and big property moves from CapitaLand, UOL and Suntec REIT take centre stage. The episode wraps with a pulse check on Singapore stocks after the STI briefly crosses 4,600, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Asia-Pacific markets slide to start the week - but beneath the red screens, big strategic shifts are underway. Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack Hongkong Land’s bold pivot into fund management with Singapore’s largest-ever private commercial real estate fund. What does the MBFC deal mean for Keppel REIT investors, and why has Hongkong Land surged more than 60% year-to-date? In the US, AI nerves resurface as Broadcom sinks despite strong earnings, dragging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower. We look ahead to key earnings from General Mills, Nike, FedEx and Carnival, plus JPMorgan’s top internet stock picks for 2026 - including Alphabet. And in our Last Word, Michael Jordan forces NASCAR to blink, proving once again that competitive fire can rewrite the rules of an entire industry.
