Frasers Cpt Tr

Opportunities come and go. I had intended to averaged down my cost basis for $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SG) but missed adding near the low of 1.968 as I was "busy" enjoying my overseas holiday. But then, there are no regrets and it's better to enjoy life than fret over missed opportunities (which I'm sure will present itself again).

Iggy’s Journal: FCT’s Gearing Is 38.7% Today and 36.8% After the White Sands Repayment. What Is Still Missing?

Sat 31 Oct 2026 | Afternoon

The N umbers

FCT paid a record 12.350 cents per unit. The distribution pool grew 8.2% while DPU grew 2.0%, so more units are now sharing the income. Reported gearing is 38.7%. The FCT manager’s estimate after the White Sands repayment is 36.8%, which is 1.9 percentage points lower. Interest cover is 4.37 times. $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SG) 

My Personal Take

The record payout is the headline, but I read the gearing line first. 38.7% is what has been reported. 36.8% is an estimate that has not been reported yet. The income pool also grew about four times as fast as the payout per unit, which leaves me with two questions. Why did the pool outgrow the payout per unit by that much, and does the 36.8% become a reported figure? Both the video and the Substack article work through the unit count and the two gearing figures.

Bloodbath is starting! Lets go

When will the selling stop? High beta stocks are getting hit the hardest as investors pull out of the stock market to turn to bonds with higher yields amidst a relatively unstable equities market and expectations for yet another interest hike soon.

Looking forward to REITs share prices adjusting upwards, I believe they’re current abit undervalued as compared to the yield they offer.

I believe the market pullback is healthy especially in tech. Much needed if we want the bull market to continue which has been pretty resilient considering all the headlines and narratives.

Good to see yields dropping, but.. people are still expecting military actions. Midterms is also coming soon, uncertain on what Trump is going to do next

The market reaction highlights the distinction between beating current expectations and demonstrating the ability to sustain future growth. For investors, the key questions are how quickly supply bottlenecks can ease, whether pricing power can offset cost pressures, and whether elevated AI-related semiconductor spending translates into stronger cash flow. Until visibility improves, strong results alone may not support higher share prices, particularly if valuations already reflect substantial growth expectations.

A key lesson is that evergreens are evergreens. A timeless advice is to hedge with bonds. Even when investors were shorting bonds, good to keep a balanced portfolio. Now, with chip stocks crumbling, investors have fled for safety ie Treasuries, leading to a rally

AI risk seems to increase, or at least investors require real return…
