I actually blogged a lot on FCT. My poor memory was thinking it was a year ago. (Corrected)
Key Takeaway
NAV $1.93. Last closing share price is $1.965. Slightly above book value. Management has said they will maintain 100% payout of roughly 5.9% yield.
The AEI trough expects in May'17 and recover after. AEI completion in Sept'17. Expecting possible further few percentage reduction in NPI in the next report.
Gearing at 29.7% and the weighted average debt maturity was 2.6 years. The all-in average cost of borrowings in 1Q17 was 2.1%. FCT has approximately 56% of its borrowings on fixed or hedged-to-fixed interest rates. Good !
There is potential of lower share price for 1st half of 2017 but I believe the dividends will be able to cover more than it. And with the potential boost in future DPU in the 2nd half of 2017, this maybe a relatively attractive stock to own.

Since I last blogged, it has moved up more up 9 cents after dividends. In-addition I like to move my some fund to Reits with foreign exposure in view of weak S$. Though FCT is still quite attractive but I will timed my entry again once the market simmer down a little.
