Real estate
UK commercial real estate
The strategy targets income as the principal driver of long-term returns but also looks to achieve capital growth through strategic sector allocation, individual stock selection and the exploitation of perceived market mispricing.
The strategy has a strong focus on intensive and creative active management of a portfolio of well-diversified assets across the UK, to protect and enhance values. In addition to its main retail, office and industrial holdings, the portfolio also comprises rural land, student accommodation and healthcare assets.
We are among the largest owners of UK commercial real estate and have invested in this market for more than a century. Our scale, relationships and resources afford unique market insight and privileged access to opportunities across the risk-return spectrum.
