OUR INVESTMENT THEMES
Ways in which we put our experience to work
We focus on five investment themes spanning markets, asset classes and return profiles. This gives us the flexibility to pursue compelling opportunities, aligned to our investor’s requirements, while applying the same discipline to how each investment is selected, executed and managed. These themes also reflect the considerable knowledge and experience of our core team.
Investment Theme
Innovation
Cross-sector innovation encompassing technology, science, engineering, advanced manufacturing and other knowledge-intensive businesses - each with different real estate requirements.
Investment Theme
Long Income
Long Income focusing on the durability and predictability of cashflow. We look for assets where long leases, strong tenant covenants and robust underlying real estate combine to create dependable income over time.
Investment Theme
Central London
Central London, including the West End, City, King’s Cross, London Bridge and other established sub-markets. Each has different demand drivers, occupier profiles and investment characteristics.
Investment Theme
Active Beta
Active Beta - beginning with good real estate. Our objective is to gain broad exposure to attractive parts of the private real estate market, and then, through better implementation and management steer those assets to outperform. To do this successfully requires expertise across asset selection, acquisition and execution.
Investment Theme
Controlled Alpha
Controlled Alpha, focusing on opportunities where planning, development, restructuring or significant repositioning can create additional value, because certain assets offer greater potential due to their complexity. The word controlled is important; we are not interested in risk for its own sake.
Track Record
Over £2bn managed. Turning opportunity into exceptional long-term performance
We have managed institutional real estate portfolios over nearly three decades, with an aggregate value of over £2bn, on behalf of more than 100 investors. Our track record is not defined by the size of the funds we’ve managed, but by the value we’ve created. Through disciplined investment, active asset management and hands-on execution, we’ve consistently turned opportunity into long-term performance.
