Governance Structure

Governance structure to maximize unitholder value

Asset management fee linked to total assets and net income
Our asset management fee is linked to two separate components; total assets and pre-tax net income. We believe that this fee structure will provide enough incentive for the asset management company to maximize unitholders’ value by the same target sight for improving profit.

Decision-making process for property acquisitions

To maximize unitholders’ value, we have adopted a multi-tiered decision-making procedure for property acquisitions, asset management, and other critical decisions.
