For the quarter to the end of December, the real estate investor collected 89% of rent, ahead of the 87% of rent collected for the previous two quarters.
In addition, as at December 31, Schroder European's property portfolio was valued at EUR276.1 million, up 2.8% from the EUR268.6 million figure at the end of September.

Schroder European Real Estate said that it will announce its net asset value and dividend for the quarter in early March.
