Investec;
We continue to like real estate debt as an asset-class and our preferred stocks are:

¢ Real Estate Credit Investments (RECI), which offers investors access to a diversified pool of bonds and direct property loans, managed by Graham Emmett and the wider Cheyne team. As a “one stop shop” for property debt exposure we think RECI is unbeatable, and we like the increasing allocation to direct property loans. The company distributes at least 6%pa of NAV as dividends, which was increased at the end of 2013 to a minimum of 7% of the most recent issue price (152.2pps) for 2014 (ie investors can expect at least 10.654pps in dividends for FY2014). So far, RECI has paid dividends totalling 7.7pps in 2014, with the final quarter’s dividend still to be declared.

¢ And, for a more specialist and conservative exposure, IC

RECI's NAV total return was +1.4% in September after adjusting for the dividend of 2.7p paid in the month. NAV per share at Sep-14 NAV was 158.7p. The bond portfolio delivered a 2.52% return in the month, with no purchases made, but £8.4m of disposals at an average sale price of 0.93. The average purchase price of these bonds was 0.62.

A further drawdown of £2.7m of RECI's £6.1m commitment (highlighted in the August factsheet) to a new loan investment in UK distribution assets was made. We calculate £1.2m remains to be drawndown from this commitment.

Secondly, RECI funded a €9m mezzanine loan towards the acquisition of a major German residential development company.

Liberum view
The number of loans in RECI's portfolio now sits at 14, with total loan commitments of £92.6m. Drawn loans to date stand at £69.9m, or 50% of the investment portfolio. The weighted average yield of the portfolio is 13.2%.

NAV total return calendar YTD is +9.8% and RECI now trades on a 4.9% premium to the Sep-14 NAV, versus a sector average of 5.5%. September was a particularly active month for the company, and demonstrated RECI's unique proposition where shareholders capital can be transferred out of bonds and into loans on a relative value basis. Share price total return remains strong (+14.2% YTD), and RECI remains our top sector pick.

Strange holdings RNS this afternoon which indicates a 9 month delay(!!) between the transaction and the notification - and all for 110,000 shares.

Loan commitments rise by £14m

Event

NAV per share at 31 August 2014 was 159.1p (Jul-14: 158.1p) which represents a 0.6% increase in the month.

£2.2m of the £6.1m loan commitment announced last month was drawn down during August. This was previously highlighted as being lent to a purchaser and developer of UK distribution assets - we now know it to be a distribution warehouse in Wolverhampton. A further drawdown is expected in the near-term.

RECI's German multi-family properties whole loan was restructured during the period, and also increased to fund new portfolio acquisitions. Total loans increased €5.7m to €15.5m from €9.8m.

Finally, RECI took a €0.9m gain on an in specie distribution of shares in a borrower as part of a loan deal, which RECI have subsequently been selling in the public market.

Looking to the bond portfolio, a small negative 0.48% movement was recorded in the month. £1.5m of bonds were sold in the month at an average price of 1.02 (vs. an average purchase price of 0.94 - a 9% uplift). £0.7m of bonds were purchased during the month at an average purchase price of 0.98, in line with July.

Liberum view

Following the activity in August, drawn loans have increased from 34% of gross assets to 39% of gross assets, with total loan commitments rising £14m from £74.1m to £87.9m - now greater than 50% of gross assets for the first time at 55%.

Positive NAV performance continues, with NAV total return of 8.0% YTD. RECI trades on a 4.4% premium to NAV after adjusting for the 2.7pps dividend (ex-date 3 September) - lower than peers SWEF (6.1% premium) and LBOW (4.6% premium), offering a dividend yield of 6.5%.

Mr Draghi, the ECB president, said this was the final rate cut as it unveiled its latest move to revive lending across the bloc: policy makers will start purchasing bundles of loans, known as asset-backed securities, and covered bonds in October.

Investec on SWEF vs. RECI;




Property

Starwood Real Estate Finance (SWEF) Half Year Results from 1 Jan
to
30 June 2014.

¢ NAV: 98.91p/share

¢ Committed: As of 30 June the company had committed 96%
of
the net IPO proceeds and tap issues of £233.8m. Shortly
after
30 June 2014 the Group committed a further €25m to the W
Hotel in Amsterdam meaning that all Net Proceeds have now been
committed.

¢ Yield: Once the W Hotel loan has been substantially
drawn,
the Group will be generating a net portfolio yield of 6.9 %.

¢ Syndication to achieve yield: Some properties still
require
subsequent syndication to achieve target return levels. Of the
loans originated to date the Group expects to syndicate
approximately £42m, releasing this for reinvestment in
order
to increase the net portfolio yield to target levels. SWEF are
‘in advanced discussions with credit approved
acquirers’ in respect of these loans and expect to
complete
the syndications during the second half of the year.

¢ Extended Investment Remit – to include Spain and
Italy
and the residential for sale sector: Now that the Company has
fully
deployed the Net Proceeds within the parameters of the original
investment policy and will continue to focus on the relative risk
/
return of opportunities which fall within this extended
investment
policy. The company’s borrowing limits have been clarified
to
exclude foreign exchange hedging facilities.

¢ Dividends Paid: At launch, the Company had targeted a
dividend of 7.0 p/ordinary share upon full investment. It has
taken
roughly 18 months to achieve full investment and as noted
above,
the Group will be delivering a net portfolio yield of 6.9 %
once
the W hotel loan is substantially drawn and credit facilities
are
negotiated

¢ Outlook: It is the intention of the Company to seek to
implement permitted liquidity facilities up to an amount of
£50 m (and in any event limited to 20% of NAV) for
bridging
purposes.




Portfolio Summary

Investec Insights

¢ SWEF has traded up to a 5.65% premium to
yesterday’s
closing price since the portfolio reached substantial
investment.

¢ We highlight that the average loan term is relatively
short
at 4.1 years and Euro exposure is currently 43.80% (although
hedging may be utilised at a cost)

¢ Our preferred stock of a comparable nature is RECI and
is
achieving (and exceeding) the dividend target, and has a
considerable pipeline of accretive loan deals, mainly in
creditor
friendly regimes such as UK and Northern Europe.

¢ LBOW may be more comparable in that it does not have RMBS
/
CMBS (although is entirely senior deals and UK focussed). This
portfolio is unlikely to be replicated due to the dynamics
prevalent at the time.

¢ Performance: NAV +2.6% to 158.1pps, up from 154.1pps at the start of the period.

¢ Dividends: 2.7pps dividend declared for the quarter, after the 2.7pps dividend for the previous quarter. Ex-dividend date is 3 September 2014, with pay date of 26 September.

¢ Bonds: Portfolio valued at £78.6m (49% of gross assets) with a nominal value of £96m. Bond portfolio performance has been strong, with positive net performance each month from the start of the financial year.

¢ Loans: The funded loan portfolio grew to a value of £54.1m as at 31 July 2014, accounting for approximately 34% of gross assets. £23.9m of new loan commitments were made through 5 loans closing, with undrawn commitments of £20m. Two loans repaid during period at levels accretive to NAV and another loan generated an in specie distribution of shares in the borrower.

¢ Cash: At 31 July was £23.3m. New commitments and loan drawdowns in excess of £20.0m are anticipated before the end of September.

Investec Insights

¢ The manager's active approach has been adding value, with capital rolled out of bonds that have benefitted from a pull to par, and in some cases early repayment, into the more attractive loan space. The manager is also in a strong position compared to competitors as the fund can access much larger deal sizes through the wider Cheyne platform. A larger loan component to the portfolio going forward will boost overall returns given the compression in bond yields, and will also lead to a more stable NAV.

¢ We see RECI as ideally positioned in the current market environment to continue to grow the loan portion of the portfolio and deliver strong risk adjusted returns.

Real Estate Credit Investments (RECI) July factsheet

¢ NAV at end-July 158.1pps (vs 156.5pps at end-June) showing a strong return over the period.

¢ The bond portfolio rose 1.25% over the month.

¢ The manager has been active, deploying £6.1m of new commitment to a new investment loan to a purchaser and developer of UK distribution assets.

¢ The manager expects to see borrowers make further draws on their loan facilities along with making several new loans in the near future.

Investec Insights

¢ Portfolio metrics: The current LTV on the top 10 positions has moved from 67% at the end of June to 66% as at the end of July. The weighted average effective yield is now up from the 10.2% level at the end of June to 10.5% at the end of July. Bond purchases were made at a slight discount to par (0.98) compared to May, where bonds were purchased at par.

¢ Background: Overall we see RECI as an attractive way to gain a high level of income from the property debt sector, where background conditions are supportive. The manager has shown strength in his active management and demonstrated the ability to efficiently invest proceeds from the last raise. The benefit of the relationship with the larger Cheyne Group has also become apparent, as RECI is able to take portions of larger deals that it would otherwise not able to participate in.

¢ RECI is trading in line with the rest of the sector at a stable premium, and in our view offers strong risk adjusted returns with a high level of yield (C.7%

£6.1m new loan commitment

Event

NAV per share at 31 July 2014 was 158.1p (Jun-14: 156.5p) which represents a 1.0% increase in the month.

A new £6.1m loan commitment to a purchaser and developer of UK distribution assets was made, and RECI also expect borrowers to make further drawdowns on their unutilised loan commitments in the near future. Several new investments are also in the near-term pipeline.

The bond portfolio delivered a strong 1.25% return in the month. £2.5m of bonds were sold in the month at an average price of 1.04 (vs. an average purchase price of 0.94 - an 11% uplift). £2.9m of bonds were purchased during the month at an average purchase price of 0.98.

Liberum view

The latest £6.1m new loan investment forms part of the £30m pipeline discussed in the year-end results published in June. We believe there to be two further remaining investments in the pipeline with expected loan commitments by RECI of c£17m. Drawn loans now comprise 34% of gross assets with total loan commitments as a percentage of gross assets standing at 47%. We estimate this could rise to 57% based on loan investment projections.

RECI's shares continue to perform well, delivering 11.8% TSR YTD and 26% over the last 12 months. We forecast NAV total return to average 9.6% over the next 3 years with further NAV growth potential from the early repayment of bonds and credit spread tightening.

RECI has delivered NAV total return of 4.3% over their financial year to date (since Mar-14) and now trades on a 4.5% premium to NAV (6.4% dividend yield), in line with peers LBOW, SWEF and TFIF which also all trade on a 4.6% premium to prevailing NAV.

From IC :-

Share tip summary

RECI's set-up is relatively complex, but it works well, and there are significant checks and balances to accommodate adverse swings in sentiment. That said, the preference shares do increase risks and a turn in the property credit market could prove painful. Developing its own loan portfolio makes sense too, and the potential for further gains makes the small premium in the share price to net asset value well justified and the yield is highly attractive. Buy.

Real Estate Credit Investments (RECI) Portfolio Update & ERII Mandatory Announcement

RECI

¢ The investment portfolio now stands at £132.5m, with cash at £24.8m and derivatives at £1.9m, bringing total gross assets to £159.2m

¢ Liabilities total £45.2m, of which the preference share accounts for £41.9m and the ordinary dividend £2.0m. Other liabilities which include the accrued performance fee total £1.3m

¢ Net assets therefore stand at £113.9m, representing 156.5 p/share (after the deduction of the dividend)

¢ Bond Portfolio: number of bonds = 76 with the dirty fair value at 30 June 2014 being £79.1m and the nominal face value being £97.57m

¢ There were no new bond purchases during the month.

¢ Bond Sales: £7.2m of bonds were sold at an average sale price of 1.00 which had an average purchase price of 0.86.

¢ Loan Portfolio Summary: Number of loans now totals 12 with the drawn dirty value of £53.4m and total loan commitments of £68.6m. Loans now stand at 33.5% of GAV (drawn loan balance) with a weighted average LTV 71.1%

¢ New Loans: The total number of loans has increased, bringing further diversification to the book. The two new loans have total drawings of £6.6m.

¢ The first new loan is a £2.2m senior loan to a site in Stratford, London which benefits from a pre-let agreement with Accor Hotels.

¢ The second loan made was a £4.4m mezzanine loan investment in a South East of England focused residential house builder with security over residential properties under construction and with planning consent.

¢ ERII Cell

¢ Redemption: ERII is to redeem 73.7% of the cell's issued share capital on 25 July 2014. The redemption will be effected pro rata to individual holdings, with fractions of shares being ignored.

¢ Payment: The aggregate payment to shareholders will be €7.85m, equivalent to €0.51 per each of the 15,392,148 current outstanding shares.

Investec Insights

¢ The NAV of 156.5 p/share is ex-div after the declaration of an ordinary dividend of 2.7p/share which meets the company's 7% dividend target.

¢ Premium Rating: RECI is today trading at a premium of +5.3%, having broken through par during the last month.

¢ Index Inclusion: RECI joined the FTSE Small Cap on 20 June, and consequently traded volumes have been significantly larger since the inclusion. 1 month average traded value per day is £456,000 versus 6 month average traded value of £160,000. The enhanced liquidity may be attractive to larger investors.

¢ The redemption of 73.7% of the ERII cell is encouraging news as it will go some way to simplifying the structure of the company. At 30 June the number of positions were 4, with cash held in the cell being €8.35m

¢ RECI remains our preferred option for those seeking a higher / mezzanine return through the property debt asset class.

¢ The top ten exposures are formed of 6 loan investments and 4 bond investments and have a WA effective yield of 10.2%.

¢ Mitigates underlying risk: RECI mitigates underlying risk to some extent through holding mezzanine tranches with restrictive covenants that trigger ahead of the senior debt holders.

¢ This acts as an early warning signal and can enhance the level of control of the mezzanine holder through a pre-agreed standstill period or allowing the Mezzanine to take control via its security over the shares in the Borrower, without triggering a change of control covenant in the Senior Debt. The quality and methodology of the real estate underwriting is also a critical part of RECI's mezzanine investing.

¢ Cheyne have an established framework to underwrite loans, a significant network and in many instances will work with sponsors with whom they have a historic relationship.

¢ Since 1 Jan 2013 RECI has produced a total return of 64.3% versus SWEF total return of 4.16%

Accept your reasoning, Skinny, but all the announcements you post are easily and instantly available in chronological order on the News Tab, so you could follow the dateline there. Alternatively, you could have a document on your own PC with the information.

Readers on this particular thread are, IMO, probably (if not definitely) more astute and seasoned investors (compared to the many pump and dump thread participants). They automatically have news alerts and know their way around investor websites, so making this thread longer than it need be tends to be counter-productive, as we should be interested in "comment" on RNS's rather than the RNS's themselves.

However, having said that, don't worry if you want to continue posting RNS's as, for readers such as me, it isn't too difficult to scroll through them quickly.
