Among the REITs that have released their financial results so far, CDL Hospitality Trusts (SGX:J85) (CDLHT) stands out for its high proportion of floating rate debt.

As at Dec 31, 2024, CDLHT has 32.1% of its outstanding debt on fixed rates, while 67.9% are on floating rates.

Vincent Yeo, CEO of CDLHT's managers, says this was deliberate throughout 2024 “in anticipation of interest rate decreases, which have actually happened”.
