Given your comments on Centuria, do you have any comments on Industrea, and the 360 Capital Funds, namely TIX (Industrial fund) & TOF ( Office Fund)?
TOF is similar to Centuria, with a potential share buyback forthcoming.
All have 8%+ returns with TIX & TOF paying quarterly, whilst IDR pays half yearly.
A: Thanks for the question.
The 3 REITs you mentioned are each yielding over 8.0% pa. TIX is geared at 43.3%, IDR at 33.4%.
Not being a huge fan of industrial property, I am possibly more inclined to TOF with its very low gearing. That said, I would really want to know more about the strategy with each of its 3 buildings.
The reason that most attracts me to Century (apart from the yield and relatively low gearing) is that I think there is a good repositioning/exit strategy with each of the buildings – and that helps overcome my reluctance with metropolitan property. In relation to the trusts you mentioned, I would be looking hard at the Manager’s strategy for each property.
