INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ENGAGEMENT In FY2024, the IRCC team kept up its institutional engagement via participation in roadshows and conferences, one-on-one meetings with institutional investors and also organised property site visits. Through these engagements the IRCC team was able to provide valuable insights into the REIT’s operations, strategies, and address stakeholder concerns amid persistent macroeconomic volatility and its consequent impact on the REIT. The IRCC team was invited to participate in various conferences both locally and overseas where they had the opportunity to connect with a diverse range of investors. The team’s participation in these conferences has proven to be a key factor in expanding the REIT’s investor base and enhancing its overall market position. This has not only led to increased trading liquidity but has also unlocked new investor pools. The REIT’s enhanced visibility through its committed investor outreach activities translated into significant support from institutional investors for its growth initiatives and operational strategies, reinforcing confidence in ESR-REIT’s long-term vision. RETAIL INVESTORS ENGAGEMENT Retail investors remain a key focus of the Manager’s communications and engagement initiatives. ESR-REIT is an active member of the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (“SIAS”) Shareholder Communication Programme, which aims to enhance investor communication with the public. Additionally, ESR-REIT is a member of the REIT Association of Singapore (“REITAS”), reinforcing its commitment to best practices in investor relations.
