Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trusts

The Securities Commission Malaysia issued these guidelines under the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 to regulate the establishment and operation of conventional and Islamic unlisted real estate investment trusts. The document sets out comprehensive requirements for management companies, trustees, delegation, investments, and related party transactions to protect investors and ensure orderly industry development. It supersedes previous specific guidelines for listed REITs and Islamic REITs, establishing a unified regulatory framework for unlisted schemes targeting sophisticated investors.
