“SERT delivered resilient results year-to-date in 2025, underpinned by higher occupancy, stronger rent growth and proactive capital management,” says Simon Garing, CEO of the managers.
He adds that the REIT is expected to return to “selective, modest acquisitions” in 2026 as it continues to pivot toward more than 70% exposure to the logistics, light industrial and data centre sectors, and over 90% exposure to Western Europe.
“Looking ahead, we see potential NPI growth driven by occupancy, under-renting, and indexation, and SERT’s three-year AEI and development pipeline and benefits from increasing our exposure to data centres,” says Garing.
Units in SERT closed 1 cent lower or 0.44% down to $2.28 while units in its European-denominated counter closed 1 Euro cent lower or 0.65% down to EUR1.53 on Nov 5.
