Why Invest Through a Fund High Developer Returns Investment Strategy Location of Investments Research Philosophy
| Strategy |
| The Fund will
employ an investment strategy that is a natural
extension of the management’s proven and well
established experience. Wherever possible, the Fund
seeks out properties that are in need of renovation
and have the potential for space enhancement. The
Fund also takes care to assess the rental potential
of all properties considered for investment, rather
than relying purely on capital gains. |
|
The core principles of that strategy are:
A Focus on Fundamental Value
In general, the Fund will focus on properties and/or
projects with strong basic attributes, such as location,
quality of construction, flexibility of space, adequacy of
parking, depth of market and ability to resell. Such
properties are likely to maintain their value during
volatile market conditions and to attract favorable
valuations upon disposition.
Cash Flow
Because the timing of exit in real estate assets is
unpredictable, the strength and quality of potential cash
flow to be generated from an investment are important in
order to ensure that investors receive strong returns. This
is particularly important in a period when real estate
markets are in constant flux.
Taking Significant Equity Positions.
The Fund intends to purchase significant positions in
development opportunities and participate actively in
corporate governance. This practice will be particularly
important in the current global environment. Accordingly, to
the extent that investments are made in real estate
companies rather than specific real estate assets, the Fund
anticipates that it will sometimes take capital positions
along with other co-investors that will provide such
investment consortium as a whole with meaningful management
rights and the ability to impact the acquired company’s
strategic management and to improve the possibility for exit
through sale to a strategic investor. The Fund will pursue
an opportunistic strategy that will be global in scope,
while mostly targeting investments in the residential
sector.
A Focus on Risk Management and Multiple Exits
The Fund intends to pay particular attention to
anticipating and structuring multiple exit strategies
suitable for each investment, which include exits through
the capital markets, bulk sales of multiple assets to
strategic or financial investors and sale of assets on a
standalone basis.
