Positive inflows were noted in industrial, commercial, logistics, and data center REITs, with CapitaLand Ascendas Reit and Frasers Centrepoint Trust among the top gainers. Acrophyte acquired Suntec Reit's manager for $190 million, while Hongkong Land purchased a 10.8% stake in Suntec for $541 million.
