Webinar
REITAS and WongPartnership LLP jointly organized a webinar on “Blockchain and Tokenisation: Impact on Property Investment?”.
What is the impact of these new technologies on property investment, fund raising and the REIT sector? Will they live up to their hype? What are some legal and regulatory issues that need to be considered in this regard?
This in-person course was held on 12 May at Orchard Rendezvous Hotel. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of the various fund raising instruments available to a REIT, including a session on sustainable finance. The course will also cover key regulatory considerations when raising funds and 2 case studies by Lendlease Global Commercial Trust and Ascendas India Trust.
We are excited to announce that our refreshed & updated Online Rules & Ethics Course for 2022 is now open for registration!
Similar to last year, the course is designed such that you can work through the different modules at your own pace and time. CMS licensees will be awarded 6 core SFA CPD hours on successful completion of your selected 6 modules.
We have a total of 11 modules on offer this year which includes one brand new module (on Tax) and two expanded modules (on Environment Risk Management and Technology Risk Management, Outsourcing Management & Business Continuity Management). This is in addition to updated and refreshed modules from last year.
IBF subsidy is available. Please register by 30 June as the current subsidy rates are only valid if you register before 30 June and complete by 30 September. IBF is likely to revise (potentially reduce) the subsidy rates thereafter.
As a gentle reminder, all Capital Market Service (CMS) licensees are required to complete 9 CPD hours every calendar year, of which 6 hours have to be on Rules & Ethics. However, do note that the course is not limited to CMS licensees and can be useful for anyone involved in the S-REIT sector.
