There were no new distributions paid during the current quarter. With a distribution of SGD0.030 per unit paid in the first half of the calendar year 2026, when annualised this is aligned to the total distribution paid out during the calendar year 2025 amounting to SGD0.060 per unit.
With a closing share price of SGD0.935 per unit as of 31 August 2026, this translates to a dividend yield of 6.36%. For my benchmark, a reasonable yield would be around an average of 4.50%. The dividend yield for FLCT is Favourable.

Do note that DPU has been declining over the past few years. As such, there is a risk that this trend may persist, which could negatively impact the share price.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Federal Reserve officials held interest rates steady on 29 July 2026, Wednesday over the objections of three bank presidents who wanted an increase, underscoring how pressure is building inside the central bank to act on inflation that has run above its target for five years.
The Fed held its benchmark rate steady, in a range of 3.50% to 3.75%, in a 9-3 vote. The rate-setting panel issued the same policy statement as it did in June, when it also held rates steady. The decision left Chairman Kevin Warsh’s vow to end the run of above-target inflation to rest for a second straight meeting on words rather than action.

FLCT have disclosed that every potential +50 bps in interest rates on variable rate borrowings is estimated to reduce DPU by 0.10 Singapore cents per annum. With a DPU of SGD0.0595 per unit for FY2025, the impact is illustrated as below:
| Change in Interest Rates | Impact on DPU (SG cents) | Impact on DPU (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 bps | 0.10 | 1.7% |
| 100 bps | 0.20 | 3.4% |
Other Metrics
Tenant Profile
FLCT has an enlarged portfolio covering logistics and industrial properties, CBD commercial assets and office and business parks, FLCT has government related entities, well-established multinationals, conglomerates, and publicly listed companies among its tenants.
The high quality and diverse tenant base provide resilience to the FLCT portfolio across challenging events. The top 10 tenants accounted for 22.6% and 11.4% and the top tenant accounting for 3.8% and 4.1% of GRI contribution for the Logistics & Industrial tenants and Commercial tenants respectively. This provides income diversity to the portfolio.
