About Redefine International
Redefine International is an opportunistic, income focused FTSE 250 UK Real Estate Investment Trust (UK-REIT) committed to delivering superior distributions to its shareholders throughout the property cycle, enabled by a diversified portfolio.
Our income driven total returns are underpinned by a quality and segmented portfolio, together with an efficient capital structure. We are committed to delivering superior distributions to our shareholders, as is evidenced in our proven track record in delivering market-leading dividends throughout the property cycle.
The property portfolio, independently valued at £1.5 billion, is focused in Europe's two strongest economies, being the United Kingdom and Germany, within the retail, commercial and hotel sectors. The portfolio is weighted towards well-located properties across a range of asset classes, which benefit from strong demand and from which we believe we can capture income and value growth by attracting high calibre occupiers on long leases.
We hold a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and are included within the FTSE 250 and EPRA indices.
