This regulatory green light permits the entity to conduct fund management activities specifically restricted to real estate investment trusts (REITs).
According to the original publisher, the approval was granted by the Securities Commission through an official letter dated August 18, 2026. The document was formally received by IOI Properties following their submission for the fund management license.
