All reits in Sg employ an external manager i.e. the P&L of the manager belongs to another party.
E.g. Manager buys Japanese mall for CRT and gets $1mio as fees. The $1mio goes to manager.
Now CRT wants to buy over the manager so essentially it is internally owned i.e. P&L of manager belongs to CRT now.
In the above scenario, the manager still gets $1mio fee. But since CRT owns the manager, the fees go back to CRT and is eliminated on a group level.
This comes at a price of course - CRT is doing a 1 for 22 rights issue to fund the acquisition of the manager for ard $50mio.
