BWP Trust’s Interim Distribution Per Unit Rose 1% To End 2019

February 4, 2020 — BWP Trust reported that its distribution per unit hit 9.02 Australian cents in the 6 months of 31 December 2019, up from the 8.93 Australian cents seen in the 6 months to 31 December 2018.

Net profit for the period was $135.6 million, including $78.5 million of unrealised gains in the fair value of investment properties.
