Investment Manager Commentary

 

Capital values continued to increase in Q1 2010, although at a slower rate than in Q4 2009. The IPD Monthly index showed capital growth of 3.9% for the 3 months to 31 March 2010, giving a total return of 5.7%. The Company's property investments provided a total return of 6.3% for the quarter, with a 4.5% capital gain.

 

During the quarter the Company completed the sale of Capital Court Uxbridge (£19.2m, a yield of 6.6%) and Century Plaza Edgware (£6.4m, 7.0%) and the purchase of a Focus retail warehouse in Norwich (£5m, 8%), a logistics unit let to Tesco in Bolton (£14.06m, 8%), completed the funding agreement and site purchase for a pre let in Aberdeen with a total commitment of £11.7m (8%) and in April the Company bought a retail warehouse unit let to B&Q for £5.3m, 7%). The purchases are accretive to the revenue account and help to further diversify the Company's income source.

 

 

The Company announced its intention to pay a quarterly dividend of 1.1p per share in 2010, showing a 10% increase from 2009, to reflect the income expected from the purchases made and the pre let development.
