However, is the above notion really an accurate depiction of REITs? I decide to find out.
Before sharing my findings, I need to note down some obstacles which surfaced during my search:
1). Some of these cash calls are not reflected in the "Corporate Action" section on the SGX website. Instead, they are found in the "Company Announcements" section. Some of the cash calls surfaced in Google searches.
2). I have supplemented my search by referring to each of the REIT managers' website. Some cash calls are worded slightly differently (e.g. "fundraising", "equity", etc). I have tried not to miss out on cash calls that are worded differently to the best of my abilities. However, I am sure that I may have missed out on one or two of these cash calls.
3). Some cash calls are executed waaaay back in time. To exacerbate the problem, information pertaining to these cash calls cannot be found in both the SGX Corporate Action section and the REIT manager's website.
4). Sometimes, preferential offerings and private placements are both executed at around the same timing. Do you classify this sort of scenario as a single cash call or two cash calls? It's up to you, the reader, to decide.
To reiterate, what I present below is not exhaustive; there could be errors as well as missing information. Do drop me a comment if you spot any discrepancies. The information is presented in the following format: the name of the REIT, followed by the date/s of the cash call/s and the type of the cash call (e.g. "Rights Issue", "Preferential Offering", "Private Placement", etc) on subsequent lines, in order of recency.
