Elite UK REIT Management Pte. Ltd. has announced that units of Elite UK REIT, traded under the stock code SGX:MENU, are now included in the Central Provident Fund Investment Scheme (CPFIS) as of 9 June 2026. This inclusion allows investors to use their CPF ordinary account savings to purchase these units on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).
The units, denominated in Singapore dollars, can only be sold through trading on the SGX-ST, with sale proceeds credited back to the investors’ CPF ordinary accounts. This move offers Singaporeans an additional avenue to diversify their investment portfolios using their CPF savings.
Joshua Liaw, CEO of Elite UK REIT Management, expressed satisfaction with the inclusion, highlighting the potential benefits for investors seeking to leverage their CPF savings for investment in real estate. The REIT, constituted under Singaporean law since 2018, continues to expand its investment opportunities for local investors.
This development is significant as it provides CPF account holders with more flexibility and options in managing their retirement savings. By enabling investments in real estate through the CPFIS, Elite UK REIT aims to attract a broader base of investors looking for stable income-generating assets.
As the units are now part of the CPFIS, investors are advised to consider the risks involved, including the potential for loss of principal, as the value of the units may fluctuate. The inclusion does not guarantee a liquid market for the units, and investors should conduct due diligence before making investment decisions.
