We tap into our deep market insight to appropriately price and incorporate risk into every asset decision in a portfolio.

The investment process is driven by both top-down and bottom-up analysis and reinforced by constant monitoring of our existing assets.

Portfolio analysis

Our portfolios are constructed based on a well-diversified mix of asset type and geography with long-term target weightings based on expected risk-adjusted return analysis. Market research is conducted on an ongoing basis to support informed portfolio decisions within the target ranges.

Investment analysis

Each asset held within our portfolios or considered for new investment undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure that only high quality properties that are consistent with our portfolios' targets are included in our portfolios.

Performance monitoring

Each asset held within our portfolios is individually monitored in all aspects of its performance and then collectively the portfolio results as a whole are similarly monitored.
Low relative volatility compared to public markets and non-domestic real estate markets
Potential for attractive risk-adjusted total returns
Operating income providing yield that is linked to long-term domestic inflation
Low correlation with other asset classes
Diversification

Taken together, these qualities may make core real estate an attractive opportunity worthy of consideration in prudently diversified portfolios.
