Investment Policy

The investment policy of the Company is to hold a diversified portfolio of ground rents, including freeholds and head leases of residential, retail and commercial properties located in the United Kingdom.

What are the risks?

  • The Company may be concentrated in a limited number of geographical regions, industry sectors, markets and/or individual positions. This may result in large changes in the value of the fund, both up and down, which may adversely impact the performance of the fund.
  • The Company may borrow money to invest in further investments, this is known as gearing. Gearing will increase returns if the value of the assets purchased increases in value by more than the cost of borrowing, or reduces the returns if they fail to do so.
  • As a result of fees being charged to capital, the distributable income of the fund may be higher but there is the potential that performance or capital value may be eroded.
  • The Government has been considering reform to the residential leasehold sector since 2017, the timescale and outcome of which is uncertain and could adversely impact the value of the Company’s portfolio.
