The Company's income driven total returns are underpinned by a diversified portfolio, together with an efficient capital structure. The continued transformation of both the corporate structure and asset base offer a solid foundation to drive further value. At 31 August 2016, the diversified portfolio, independently valued at £1.5 billion, is focused in Europe's two strongest economies, being the United Kingdom and Germany. The portfolio is weighted towards well located properties across a range of sectors, including retail, offices, distribution and hotels, which benefit from strong demand and from which they can capture income and value growth by attracting high calibre occupiers on long leases. The Company's investment philosophy is to effectively allocate recycled capital from mature assets into sectors and locations with strong occupier fundamentals and individual assets with realisable upside.
The secure income stream is supported by a diversified portfolio and tenant base, with a WAULT of 7.8 years complemented by an average debt maturity of 6.9 years of which over 95% of interest costs are either fixed or capped.
