Investment Manager Commentary
During the 4th Quarter of 2010 the Company maintained its active investment record. It completed the purchase of a commercial mixed use investment in Westminster London, and exchanged on the purchase of an office in Staines (which completed on 7th January 2011), along with completing the pre let development in Aberdeen with a new 20 year lease to Hydrasun, thus reducing the Company's cash to £11.5m (6.5% of gross assets).
As a result of the investment activity the Company expects a fully covered dividend for 2011, and has revenue reserves of £3.9m to utilise when required (calculated under IFRS and includes a provision for payment of the interim dividend for the quarter ending 31 December 2010).
The Company's total return on its property portfolio for the quarter was 2.3%, slightly ahead of the monthly index return of 2.2%. Over the 12 months to 31 December 2010 the Company's property portfolio had a total return of 16.4%* against the IPD Monthly Index 14.5%.
