I invest in the management
im sure they hedge their fx risk so they may not gain as much with the strengthening yen...as for tourist...limited impact for them since their retail malls are all in the heartlands non-tourist areas...this is a very good reit...dont miss chance to be shareholder...

Agree that investors have to get more clarity on the exact hedge instrument used.
Does this mean also that CRT benefits from any strengthening of Jap Yen for both revenue and capital gains, but is hedge if the Yen weakens against S$ beyond these hedge rates?  It would be clearer if we knew what type of hedge instruments they were using, ie currency options or futures etc.

If you look at their recent investor presentation, found at SGX Website, it said that their expected   distribution hedge for SGD/JPY for FY2016, FY2017, FY2018 at average hedge rate is 85.03, 84.16, 76.37 respectively.
So in the long term, yen is getting stronger than sing dollar?

Great. This one surging fast too. People start to realise that reits and trust provides a much much higher dividend return than the miserable 0.25% hike (or 1% hike by end 2016) by US.
