Cross-listings of Malaysian Real Estate Investment Trusts in Hong Kong
The Securities and Futures Commission establishes requirements for Malaysian REITs to obtain authorization for secondary listings on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong under a mutual recognition framework. Eligible REITs must maintain a market capitalization of at least HK$3 billion, have no less than 300 unitholders, and ensure publicly held securities have a market value of at least HK$125 million. The REIT Manager must remain licensed by the Securities Commission Malaysia, provide books and records upon request, and ensure simultaneous disclosure of information to investors in both jurisdictions. The streamlined authorization process anticipates a decision within four weeks of application take-up.
