28/8/2013 07:30 | Quarterly dividend of 1.15p (against 0.7p last time), so that's annualised to 4.6p which gives a pretty respectable return, partially indexed. Presumably the earlier 0.7p was due to funds incompletely invested. | jonwig | |

12/5/2013 13:54 | Analyst - thanks for that. GRIO seems to be paying an annualised 2.8p (say 2.5% on offer price) which is largely index-linked to ... something! (As mentioned before, there's no forecast in the prospectus or since.) I suspect this might be a good rate in that it's lots better than index-linked gilts and (I think) just about as safe, in that the freeholder (GRIO) will have legal power over any owner who defaults on a pretty minor amount. It will be interesting to see how the take-up of the new shares goes. | jonwig | |
12/5/2013 12:53 | There is an article in The Times (Sat 11th May) about Ground Rent investing. It does not mention this Real Estate Investment Trust Ground Rents Income Fund plc (GRIO), but mentions a Property Authorised Investment Fund (a type of OEIC) called TIME Investments Freehold Income Authorised Fund (formerly called Freehold Income Trust), which has a superb long-term performance record. You can't buy that without going through an IFA though, min £5k. | analyst | |
03/5/2013 06:22 | £36.8m placing of 2% Convertible Preference Shares. Essentially 'C' shares which will convert to ords (not 1:1) in about a year's time. Yield will be index-linked to some measure. | jonwig | |

04/4/2013 16:42 | Dated 2009: Ground Rent Investment Yields Graph 7 shows the performance of ground rent investments over the past 10 years. The analysis splits those interests having between 80 and 125 years to run from those that have terms of 800 years or more unexpired. Yields from ground rents in the former category have remained fairly steady over the period. However, from a low of 5.08% in 2006, average yields in the 80 to 125 year market have moved out latterly to 7.23% in 2009. There has however been a more prevalent reaction to the recession in the 800+ year unexpired market with a notable fall in average yields from a peak of 6.36% in 2007 to 4.33% so far in 2009. This arguably reflects investors' preference for long term secure income in times of turbulence and identifies longer term ground rents as the only area in the residential investment market to show a rise in values over the last two years of economic uncertainty. I'd think commercial yields a bit lower, in general. | jonwig | |
03/4/2013 09:46 | jon - agred, they didn't specify the target yield in the listing particulars, just a 90% distribution (which is in the REIT rules anyway). I would hope c4% net of expenses once fully invested, but will be much lower in Y1 and there will be a lag on these new funds being invested. | 18bt | |
03/4/2013 07:17 | Yes, I have a few as part of my "alternative assets" allocation. They say in the RNS: The investment which has taken place in the last three months will put the Company in a good position to achieve its target year-one dividend yield. But I haven't been able to find anywhere guidance on the expected yield for shareholders. I hope it's better than 2% indexed once fully-invested! | jonwig | |
03/4/2013 06:45 | Have gradually created a position in these as inflation protection in my SIPP at around £1.04, the last yesterday. Reasonable trading update - index linked yield of 5.4% on the new investment. Hopefully one for the long term. | 18bt | |
03/4/2013 06:33 | Non-dilutive capital raise: a [£50m] convertible preference share issue so that current shareholders are not unfairly diluted by a straight capital raise. The convertible preference shares will carry a 2% coupon which will be payable quarterly in line with the current dividend payment timetable (from September 2013). The placing is expected to close before the end of April 2013 and will be subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting of the Company expected to be held in May 2013. | jonwig | |
24/10/2012 08:02 | Their balance sheet hasn't the distributable reserves to pay a dividend, so they are going to the trouble and expense of convening a meeting and a high court ruling on removing the share premium account, simply in order to give investors of two months a bit of their money back. Since most of these will be institutions, they might need the income to satisfy income fund targets. Ultimately, retail investors will bear the costs. I've no idea what the settled-down earnings will be here, but the share price seems to be deflating, which suits me. Reminder about the warrants: Under the Placing and the Subscription, Warrants will be issued for nil consideration on the basis of one Warrant for every five Subscription Shares. The Warrants are constituted by, and will be issued subject to and with the benefit of the Warrant Instrument.

The number of Ordinary Shares to which each Warrant relates is (prior to any adjustment in accordance with the Warrant Instrument) one Share. | jonwig | |
18/8/2012 06:53 | CITYWIRE 13/08/12: Brooks Macdonald revamps ground rent fund after Ucis concerns Brooks Macdonald Funds has revamped its £13 million Braemar Ground Rents fund following the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) concerns over unregulated collective investment schemes. The group has launched the Ground Rents Income Fund, a closed-ended fund listed on the Channel Islands stock exchange, which has acquired the assets of the Braemar Grounds Rents Ucis fund. The fund has also listed on the London Stock Exchange's SETSqx platform with around £50 million of assets. Brooks Macdonald funds investment director James Agar will manage the fund, and is targeting £150 million of assets within three years. Agar said the shift in structure followed concerns from the FSA over Ucis. 'We've seen a change from the regulator in their view towards Ucis vehicles,' he said. 'Given the nature of the underlying assets, we believe a closed-ended structure to be more appropriate. The underlying assets are long dated, very secure and provide stable streams of income.' Agar said that ground rents had bond-like properties. The fund invests as the freeholder of a property, to which the leaseholder typically pays a small annual sum of between £50 and £250. Agar added that the new fund would be likely to achieve better liquidity and risk profile, as well as lowering the total expense ratio from over 2% to 1.2%. The annual management charge will be 0.55%. | jonwig | |
15/8/2012 13:37 | mhawthorn - thanks for your comments. I never chase new issues soon after IPO, and certainly won't with this one. My research had hardly begun! | jonwig | |
15/8/2012 12:21 | This fund appears to be be the Braemar Ground Rent PCC, which was CISX listed - in fact I will go as far as to say it is the same portfolio under a new name! The previous performance was shockingly bad, especially when compared to other ground rent funds. I am unsure why an ungeared portfolio with a gross yield of around 6% (according to their figures) was unable to return 1%. Ground rents offer a range of additional income streams therefore a basic yield of 6% should be bringing in around 8 - 12% without much effort on a portfolio such as this. The only thing I think they deserve complimenting on is their ability to reinvent themselves on a regular basis, all the while taking fees but not returning anything like what they should to investors. I am tempted to buy a small amount of shares just to attend the AGM and pose a few questions. You may have guessed I am invovled in the industry and we run a small private fund (fully subscribed) as well as a number of our own vehicles | mhawthorn | |
15/8/2012 08:34 | This is probably a safe but boring investment - maybe the board and managers will find it interesting as they draw their fees? Anyway, it will need to drop back to 100 (issue price) before I consider a purchase. | jonwig | |
