Smart Reads of the Week: Singapore Banks, Seatrium and REITs with Sustainable Yields

This week, we review the trio of Singapore banks to assess if they can still grow.

With interest rates stabilising and a weak economic outlook, investors may be worried about the lenders’ prospects.

Meanwhile, the bellwether Straits Times Index (SGX: ^STI) has seen a change in one of its components during its June quarterly review.

Seatrium (SGX: S51) has replaced Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU) and we took the opportunity to highlight several characteristics of the former.

These REITs also enjoyed good tailwinds and the DPU looks sustainable for the medium term.
