REITAS conducted a new in-person course specifically designed for aspiring and new directors of REIT Managers to equip them with the foundational knowledge required for this role. As Singapore REITs have a trust structure, potential directors of a REIT manager need additional understanding with regard to REIT regulations, taxation and management that go beyond that required by directors of other listed companies. This 1-day course covered the unique aspects of being a director of a REIT manager and was taught by senior practitioners from the REIT industry.
Senior market participants working in REITs and other companies, fund managers, analysts, and other market participants are also welcome to register!
