COVID has greatly impacted the performance of all hospitality trust. However, with multiple vaccines are under trial phase and more countries selectively open borders, the worst is likely over. CDLHT on and off will perform capital recycling in which CDLHT has just completed its divestment of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay and the acquisition of W Singapore - Sentosa Cove in July. With asset disposal, management could choose to use the fund to top-up distribution (one type of capital distribution), albeit there is no such top-up in 1H 2020. CDLHT also taking this time to perform some AEI works.
