CapitaLand
CapitaLand is a Singaporean headquartered company focusing on investment, development and management of real estate. It is the owner and manager of a portfolio comprising integrated developments, shopping malls, lodging, offices, homes, business parks, industrial and logistics assets, as well as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and funds. Present across more than 260 cities in over 40 countries, the company focuses on Singapore and China as its core markets while it continues to expand in markets such as India, Vietnam, Australia, Europe and the USA. CapitaLand has one of the largest investment management businesses globally, with a stable of six listed real estate investment trusts (REITs) and business trusts, as well as about 30 private funds. Since it pioneered REITs in Singapore with the listing of CapitaLand Mall Trust (now merged with CapitaLand Commercial Trust to form CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust) in 2002, CapitaLand's portfolio of REITs has expanded to include Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust, Ascott Residence Trust, CapitaLand China Trust, Ascendas India Trust and CapitaLand Malaysia Trust. In August 2021, CapitaLand's shareholders voted in favour for the company to restructure its business to form two distinct entities; CapitaLand Investment (CLI), its real estate investment management business; and CapitaLand Development, its privately held property development arm. Later on 20 September, CLI debuted on the Singapore Stock Exchange under the trading name CapitaLandInvest and stock code, 9CI. History 
On 12 July 2000, DBS Land (DBSL) and Pidemco Land announced a merger to form a company eventually owning about $18 billion in assets, making it the largest listed property company in Southeast Asia when completed. Although this followed a new measure imposed by Monetary Authority of Singapore to separate financial and non-financial activities of banking groups on 21 June 2000, DBS Bank had already divested most of its investments in DBSL and was holding 5.4% of DBSL, well below the 20% shareholding threshold for non-core  banking activities under the new measure. More details of the merged entity were given on 31 July 2000. Named as CapitaLand on 6 September 2000, the merger was approved by shareholders on 18 October 2000 and was thus officially launched on 28 November 2000. On 13 September 2012, CapitaLand announced that it was listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index in recognition of its sustainability efforts. It has been listed on the Index since then. On 14 January 2019, the Group announced that it would acquire Ascendas-Singbridge, a real estate group, from Temasek Holdings in an S$11b deal, which is approved by 90% of shareholders on 12 April 2019. The acquisition was completed on 30 June 2019. On 20 February 2019, CapitaLand said that its 2018 net profit jumped 12.3%, the highest in a decade. On 3 July 2019, it announced that Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit) and Ascendas Hospitality Trust would be merged, forming Asia's largest hospitality trust with S$7.6b in combined assets. This comes after the acquisition of Ascendas-Singbridge on 30 June 2019. On 29 September 2020, unitholders of CapitaLand Mall Trust and CapitaLand Commercial Trust voted in favour of the merger of both REITs to form CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, which would become the largest Singapore REIT and one of the largest REITs in the Asia Pacific with an asset base of S$22.4 billion. On 20 September 2021, CapitaLand Investment listed on the SGX, following the Group's proposed restructuring of its business to focus on investment management. Group structure
