How do the Value Unlock and capital market reforms translating into real world actions for listed REITs and property companies, such as buybacks, divestitures, balance sheet management, or corporate action strategies? In a world of lower or stabilising rates, how should investors think about REITs, not just as yield instruments but as long term income and growth assets? And what attributes should they prioritise in 2026? Looking ahead, what are the one or two key catalysts or risks that SGX and investors should watch—whether in policy, capital market design, corporate action, or macro—that could reshape the REIT and broader equity landscape in the next 12–18 months?

What are the real risks inside each instrument that retail investors tend to underestimate, and how do you manage them? In the current 2026 environment, higher-for-longer rates, macro uncertainty, geopolitical volatility, how has your thinking or your management approach actually changed? If a retail investor holds a mix of REITs, bond funds, and cash savings today, what is the single most common mistake you see, and what would you tell them to examine first?

The C-Suites we heard from today spoke about their REITs with conviction. But as a retail investor watching from the outside — what do you wish the CEOs had told us that they probably can't say publicly? The March 2026 S-REIT pullback hit most portfolios. Walk us through exactly what you did — held, added, or cut, and why. Would you do the same again? If you had to build a REIT portfolio from scratch today with S$50,000, what's your actual thinking, not your disclaimer-laden public advice?
