Investment Strategies


Acquisition Growth Strategy

  • Pursue acquisition opportunities that provide attractive cash flows and yields relative to the Trust's weighted average cost of capital, and opportunities for future income and capital growth.

Active Asset Management Strategy

  • Mitigate re-leasing risks and grow organically, thereby increasing the yield of its properties, and correspondingly, the NAV per Unit.

Focused Development Strategy

  • Prudently undertake development activity when appropriate opportunities arise, while mitigating construction and leasing risks.

Capital and Risk Management Strategy

  • Employ an appropriate mix of debt and equity in financing acquisitions, and utilise interest rate and currency hedging strategies where appropriate.

Divestment Strategy

  • Free up capital for re-deployment as and when appropriate.
