Strategy

The Fund reflects an active value property investment strategy with the aim of achieving an attractive income return for investors.

 

The Fund targets investment in commercial assets in the UK, with the focus on the three main commercial sectors of office, industrial and retail (including high street and retail warehouses).

 

The Fund’s sector allocation and geographical spread will be subject to ongoing review by the Managing Trustee.

 

With a strong focus on stock selection, the Fund will invest only in direct real estate assets with minimal exposure to debt and no exposure to indirect property vehicles. The main source of added investment return is expected to be achieved through the picking of good-quality assets offering attractive income returns, good value, or asset management potential. Active asset management will include change of use; new lettings; refurbishment; and extending leases.
