Phillip 4Q21 Singapore Strategy – Investing in inflation
Review: 3Q21 was sluggish, with the STI down 1.4%. Despite a jump in vaccination rates to 82% of the population in September, COVID-19 cases in Singapore spiked to record highs. Dining and office restrictions returned. The virus also triggered record high cases in Southeast Asia. This hurt regional consumer stocks on the STI, namely the Jardine Group of companies (Figure 2). Of the 30 STI names, only nine made gains during the quarter. Restructuring themes outperformed, namely CapitaLand Investment and Singtel (Figure 3).

ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust (ALLT SP) The Hunter Or The Hunted?
ALLT is able to grow organically riding on the expansion of 3PL and e-commerce in Singapore and Australia and via acquisitions tapping on its huge sponsor pipeline. We expect ALLT to benefit from cap rate compression from 5.1% to 4.5% in Australia, which increases NAV per unit by 7% to S$0.73. ESR Cayman’s acquisition of ARA Asset Management raises the prospects of ALLT being acquired by ESR REIT to prevent conflict of interest. Re-iterate BUY. Target price: S$1.07.
