First REIT makes it to MSCI Singapore index

First Real Estate Investment Trust says it has been included in the MSCI Singapore Index with effect from 1 June 2011.

MSCI is a leading provider of investment decision support tools worldwide, including indices, portfolio risk and performance analytics and corporate governance services.

The MSCI indices are among the most widely tracked global equity benchmarks covering companies with good operational results and growth prospects. By being a constituent stock on the MSCI Singapore Index, First REIT can be better tracked by a wider group of institutional investors and funds on a global platform.

MSCI’s indices are market capitalisation-weighted and serve as the basis for over 400 exchanged-traded funds throughout the world. MSCI conducts its index reviews four times each year, with the latest changes being implemented at the close of market on 31 May 2011.
