  1. Looking at your graph, the DPU from Oct to Mar 2016 should be 3.777 cts. THis is different from the The Staits TImes's MGCCT article of 3.771 cts.

  4. Just got a reply from MGCCT.

    MGCCT’s distribution is on a semi-annual basis. The DPU that Unitholders will be receiving for the half-year period from 1 October 2015 to 31 March 2016 (“2H FY15/16”) is 3.771 cents. This DPU is derived based on the total distributable income for the half-year period from 1 October 2015 to 31 March 2016 over the number of issued units as of 31 March 2016.



    The 2H FY15/16 DPU of 3.771 cents is not derived by adding 3Q FY15/16 DPU of 1.854 cents and 4Q FY15/16 DPU of 1.923 cents.



    As of 31 Dec 2015 (end of 3QFY15/16), the number of units was 2.749 billion units. On 24 Feb 2016, there were new units (8.9 million units) issued to the Manager as payment of base fee and property management fee for the period from 1 Oct 2015 to 31 Dec 2015. This brought the total number of units as of 31 Mar 2016 (end of 4Q FY15/16) to 2.758 billion units. The quarterly payment of base fee and property management fees in units to the Management is detailed in the Prospectus.



    The above information regarding the calculation of 2H FY15/16 DPU can be found in footnote 1 on page 5 of the Media Release.
