THE
PREMIER DIVERSIFIED PROPERTY FUND
Landmark
achieved: £ 650 million under management
We
are pleased to announce that the Premier Diversified
Property Fund has acquired over £ 650 million of UK
commercial property assets, in a little over 20 months
since launch, whilst at the same time achieving excellent
returns. The returns are particularly impressive against a
backdrop of continued uncertainty in the world's stock
markets and a downturn in investment conditions generally.
Many investors are seeking alternatives to more
traditional investments and The Premier Diversified
Property Fund provides an excellent opportunity to invest
in the UK commercial property market, which in turn can
generate long term capital growth in a secure and non-correlated
environment.
The performance of the Fund since launch has been
impressive, and the underlying investment strategy has
been structured to help ensure that this continues. As can
be seen from the Portfolio Analysis below this strategy
includes:
-
"Blue
Chip" Tenants:
95% of properties leased to either major quoted plc's
or British Government
-
Long
Term Leases:
Nearly 80% of properties have unexpired leases of at
least 15 years. This increses to 100% for unexpired
leases of at least 10 years
-
Excellent
Locations:
The properties are spread throughout the UK but with
no exposure to London at present
-
Impressive
Yields:
Average rental yields of around 7% per annum
