$APAC Realty(CLN.SG)

Context: What interests me about APAC Realty is that it offers exposure to Singapore’s property market through transactions rather than property ownership. Through ERA, the business participates across new launches, resale, leasing and other property services, so its earnings are closely tied to market activity and transaction volumes. In FY2025, brokerage contributed more than 90% of gross profit, while the group handled about S$33.3 billion of brokerage transaction value.

My trade: I see APAC Realty as a different kind of Singapore exposure — less about collecting rent or betting directly on property prices, and more about the flow of transactions through the market. That gives me a way to participate when buying, selling and leasing activity improves, while keeping the business model relatively asset-light.

Takeaway: Sometimes you don’t need to own the asset to benefit from the activity around it. In property, the transaction platform can be just as interesting as the property itself.
