PLife flagship property is the well-known Mount Elizabeth Hospital. All the 3 properties in Singapore are leased to Parkway Hospitals Singapore Pte. Ltd., which is the top tenant. The lease expiry is in the year 2022, very likely Parkway Hospitals Singapore would exercise the option to extend their term for another 15 years. 

PLife is the only SREIT that does not issue shares to pay management fee, which means there is no share dilution. However, REIT manager is slowly reducing their shareholding throughout the past 5 years, from 0.45% @ 3Q 2015 to 0.333 @ 2Q 2020. Nonetheless, it is a well managed REIT with many favorable points.
