UOB APAC Green REIT ETF posts 6‑month total return of S$2.64m as NAV rises to S$29.3m, lagging 10.35% benchmark on underweight Australia
Summary:
-
For the 6 months to 31 December 2025, the ETF delivered 6‑month NAV growth of 9.48% versus 10.35% for its benchmark, with 1‑year NAV performance of 19.66% against 21.84%.
-
Total return for the period was S$2.64 million after tax, lifting net assets attributable to unitholders to S$29.32 million from S$27.98 million despite net redemptions of about S$0.69 million and distributions of S$0.62 million.
-
Portfolio remains almost fully invested in listed APAC REITs (98.44% of NAV), with country exposure led by Australia (38.86%), Japan (30.18%) and Singapore (21.82%), and top holdings including CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Scentre Group REIT.
-
Management cites underperformance mainly to lack of exposure to the Australian market in the index methodology earlier in the period and notes the fund continues to closely track the iEdge‑UOB APAC Yield Focus Green REIT Index.
-
The ETF maintains its objective of providing around a 4% annual dividend yield on a semi‑annual payout schedule, with COP29‑driven climate finance commitments and REITs exposed to data centres and logistics seen as key structural tailwinds for the strategy.
