Investment Philosophy
Our approach to Strategic Property Investment is founded on the following:
- Listening to investors and tailoring a strategy to suit their requirements
- Property generates a quarterly cash flow that is responsive to asset management and contributes significantly to total return
- Property must be considered in relation to other asset classes and not in isolation
- Portfolios should be managed against a clearly defined strategic framework derived from detailed market knowledge and quantitative analysis
- Stock selection within this framework remains fundamentally important. This requires not only significant access to market opportunities but also the application of analytical techniques within the framework of a robust investment process
- In recognition that property is a real asset, it needs to be managed effectively so as to exploit ‘added value’ opportunities
Opportunistic approach:
- Property is an imperfect asset class which creates opportunity
- Independence provides a wide range of market contacts and access to opportunities
- Co-investment and alignment of interests are key to our success and important to our investors
Focus on four key competencies:
- Strategy
- Stock Selection
- Asset Management
- Market Timing
"Exploiting property's inefficiencies and delivering returns from them are core to our investment style"
