Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust (“SLIPIT”) aims to generate an attractive income with the potential for income and capital growth from investments in UK commercial property.
Over the last five years it has produced the second-highest NAV returns in the sector while generating an attractive yield; the yield of 5.3% is still above average.
The portfolio is biased towards industrial assets and very underweight retail, as the manager, Jason Baggaley, thinks the latter sector is facing secular and shorter-term headwinds.
Jason is cautious about the outlook for the UK economy, which means he is focusing on high quality, resilient assets and has reduced significantly the gearing on the trust.
The trust has fallen to a discount of 2% from a premium of 5% in the market sell-off since the start of September, even though it has continued to generate returns above that of the market.
