I’ve had this share for a long time and have sadly been put in the position of a sell. Been up to the 150 area and down again, never top sliced.
Entry to the UK Reit scheme has been the crux of selling, losing 20% on the PID is too much when you are offshore and stuck with no DT treaty to claim it back. Like many trusts who have followed the same path ...bye.
Who says living in a tax haven is advantageous, it’s the complete reverse. No ISAs, no divi allowance, no savings allowance, no UK bank account, doesn’t post to...the list just goes on and on. I must be mad living here!
This share just keeps going up and up and it offered a superb regular return on investment as well. I don't understand why it's not on everybody's radar.
Had a look at HCFT and looks like I'm a bit late as they already had a good rise this year. Will keep an eye on them over the summer and see what they do in the run up to div date in Sept. Thanks for the tip. Just blown the last of this years ISA allowance on BNC. Pays quarterly div = 10% yield. Great to see FCPT still creeping up and giving us a monthly bung.
Funnily enough was looking at those last week...a couple of hours after blowing my budget on HCFT, where I am currently Billy no mates (first and only poster, begad!) - must be THE most obscure share; love it! Yeah, summer's my busy time so any share which can look after itself and now and then smuggle a 6%+ divi into the a/c is the absolute dog's thingies. SLI on radar - thanks. ATB
Hi Wilks, Found another property trust that fits our boring as he** high div criteria. Have a look at SLI. Dropped a bit in the last week so could be a buying opportunity. Pays quarterly divs 8.1% yield. Bought a few today, can buy at mid price.
up on a no frills rns: http://www.investegate.co.uk/f--38-c-com-pty-tst-ltd--fcpt-/rns/interim-management-statement/201305171100269997E/ Sleep easy over the weekend with this.
Thanks for that - they all look tempting, especially UKCM...just love those frequent divis! Had enough fun and games with flash in the pan oilies etc, looking for calmer waters of FTSE 350, financials, trusts etc..and 'off the beaten track' companies. High hopes for BDV which pays ginormously, twice a year, although boring as h***. Middle aged me loves that! ATB
A rare post on FCPT. I'm in these too. If you are interested in property trusts take a look at UKCM, RDI and SREI. All pay excellent divs( 7 to 8%) and can be held in an ISA. UKCM and SREI pay quarterly divs, RDI twice yearly. Between these and FCPT monthly divs they provide a regular income.
one of my steadiest investments, this. Optimhttp://www.mideasttime.com/fc-commercial-property-trust-limited-pt-raised-to-2-05-fcpt/8787/ism; but never mind that - this pays a hefty dividend....MONTHLY! Drinks all round... BW out there.
BIAS TO PROPERTY IS SAFE AS HOUSES Strong performances in property have prompted investors to consider the asset class, particularly the commercial and residential British markets, which are well regulated and transparent. As the crisis in the eurozone looks set to rumble on, the appeal of safe havens has only grown in recent months. With many asset classes already looking expensive, property, once the darling of the investment community, may be due a revival. Richard Kirby, the director of property funds at F&C and the lead manager of the F&C Commercial Property trust (FCPT), says the sector has seen some strong performance in recent years. “We had very strong performance last year. The underlying properties delivered a top decile return, which has continued our top quartile performance over both three and five years,” he says. Over five years the FCPT has lost 3.40% against an IT Property sector average fall of 35.48%. Moreover, the trust has returned more than 70% over the past three years, versus 51.28% from the sector. Kirby says the driving factor behind the recent success has been the trust’s focus on prime British property. “We’ve seen rents and capital values under pressure. Under these conditions prime is holding up better than secondary, and London and the South East is doing better than the rest of the country,” he says. “We have a significant weighting to central London and much lower exposure to the regions. Within that we have no exposure to shopping centres.” One of the most interesting developments of recent years that has allowed central London to shrug off the sector’s woes elsewhere is that buying has been dominated by foreign investors. Indeed the pricing is such that domestic buyers are finding it progressively difficult to compete with the strength and depth of overseas buyers. This disconnect helps explain how the trust has distanced itself from its peer group and perhaps suggests a reason for optimism despite ongoing macroeconomic concerns.

With the performance of the UK commercial property sector linked closely to the performance of the underlying economy, it is no surprise the uncertain outlook is dividing investors’ opinions. Is this, however, reflected in the “rating” of the F&C Commercial Property Trust (FCPT) and UK Commercial Property Trust (UKCM) where the share prices are trading at a 12% premium to the underlying net asset value? Does the prospect of a generous dividend yield and a combination of lacklustre net asset value and dividend growth merit paying such a hefty premium? The Scotsman would argue that it does not.
Where is the stimulus going to come from to see some advance in the SP?
