(Alliance News) - Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust Ltd on Thursday reported an increased net asset value and dividend for its latest half year.
The trust, which actively manages a diversified portfolio of UK commercial real estate, reported an NAV per share of 61.9 pence as of September 30, up 0.5% from 61.6p at March 31.
Shares in Schroder Real Estate were 0.6% higher at 55.00p each on Thursday afternoon in London.
The NAV total return for the six months ended September 30 was positive 3.5%, against plus 4.0% for the previous year but above the MSCI Benchmark index's return of plus 2.8%.
Schroder Real Estate declared an interim dividend of 0.897p per share for the quarter ended September 30, up from 0.879p the year before.
"While the UK currently faces economic and political headwinds which continue to weigh on investor sentiment, following yesterday's Budget and with an expected market recovery underway, we are positive on the outlook for a sector rerating in 2026, commented Chair Alastair Hughes. "Real estate fundamentals remain strong: there continues to be steady demand from an occupier perspective and new supply remains broadly constrained, owing to a scarcity of modern good quality space, persistently high construction costs and capacity constraints in the construction sector.
"This will create opportunities for our strategy to actively reposition assets and drive higher rental growth."
