Took some at the 92p offer this morning. Hopefully a decent trade but if not at least a decent dividend.

Morning carcosa

There doesn't seem to be much about AEWU in there. Is this just spam, or have I missed something? :-)

gco - a good trade. AEWU now a good buy again at 93.5p.

Divi yield now back at top of the REIT leader board

AEWU pops up in The Telegraph's Questor column this morning!(apologies for formatting)

The prospect of further interest rate cuts by the Bank of England as inflation falls, lifting the pressure on businesses and consumers, has sparked a recovery in real estate investment trusts (Reits).
This makes it a good time to review our tip of AEW UK Reit, which we first recommended in July 2020 when shares in the top-performing commercial property fund languished 22pc below asset value in the first coronavirus lockdown, and offered an attractive 11pc dividend yield.
Our timing was good and the shares have gained 28pc since then as we correctly bet the company – now on an 11pc discount and still offering a high 9pc yield – would continue to pay shareholders 2p a share each quarter.
AEW UK has delivered its 8p annual payout for nearly nine years. This is an impressive feat given the dividend cuts and suspensions some Reits were forced into, either during the pandemic when many tenants couldn’t pay rents, or when borrowing costs soared as the Bank hiked base rate from nearly zero in December 2021 to 5.25pc 20 months later.
However, it’s not been a smooth ride for shareholders in the portfolio of 33 offices, shops, retail warehouses and industrial parks. The shares have tumbled 22pc since we last assessed them two years ago, shortly after they peaked at 128.6p in April 2022.

End of interactive chart.
The decline to 93p today largely reflects the indiscriminate selling of listed property funds in 2022 and the mark-down of real estate as the yields on benchmark government bonds rose in response to rising interest rates.
In AEW’s case there was also concern about whether the dividend could survive intact, as for a few years there wasn’t sufficient rental income to fully cover the payments.
The uncovered dividend was mostly a byproduct of the trust’s buy-low, sell-high investment approach. Henry Butt, Assistant fund manager, says he and lead manager Laura Elkin are value investors who buy smaller commercial properties at low prices and high yields on comparatively short leases of four to six years. They then refurbish them and sell at higher prices when their rental values improve.
Because it can be easier to sell properties unlet and because it can also take time to reinvest the proceeds of property sales, this strategy can lead to periods when quarterly earnings per share slip below 2p.
Concerns about the dividend cover were heightened last year when a couple of tenants, including hardware retailer Wilko, fell into administration. This is why we didn’t include AEW UK in our roundup of generalist Reits in June when we picked Picton Property Income, up 10pc since we recommended it on a 30pc discount.
Happily, an update in July saw AEW UK take a big step towards restoring dividend cover with underlying quarterly earnings rising from 1.75p to 1.92p per share. A 2.4pc increase in its properties following a meagre 0.4pc rise in the previous three months provided evidence that commercial real estate had bottomed out.
AEW UK key facts
Market value: £147m
Year of listing: 2015
Discount: 11.7pc
Ave discount over past year: 11.1pc
Yield: 8.6pc
Most recent year’s dividend: 8p
Gearing: 35.8pc
Annual charge: 1.6pc
News of the £6.3m sale of an industrial estate in Worcestershire for 33pc more than its valuation in March also showed an improving market and highlighted the fund managers’ successful record in locking in good gains.
Over five years, the trust’s net asset value has grown 61.9pc, well ahead of the 10.8pc average of its rivals. Despite the setback of the past two years, the shares have largely passed on this growth with a total return of 55.2pc.
With further rental growth in prospect and £8.3m of cash on hand to buy or upgrade properties, this trust continues to be a good way to capture the recovery in commercial property. With two other Reits, Balanced Commercial Property and Tritax Eurobox, falling to bids this week, it’s possible predators will eye AEW UK Reit which we continue to rate a “hold”.

Does anyone know if the AEWU dividend is likely to ever increase. I understand the dividend has never really been covered solely by rental income and through their shrewd buying and selling of properties they have managed to keep the 8p per year payout going. If we strip out the extra dividend contribution from doing this and just look at the rental income, has it been increasing over the years and there will come a point when it will go beyond the 8p per year.

Or is this a trust you simply buy for the starting yield and the capital kicker if the interest rate environment becomes more favourable.

I also disagree. I’ve held from 63p in 2020 slump when the AEWU dividend yield was 13%. No way would I want the dividend cut. AEWU is also the best performer of the REITS I bought in 2020 so there’s nowt wrong with overall performance either.
Posted at 04/7/2023 13:17 by kenmitch
SOCAL. That IS how I see it now too. I.e other REITS are better choices for new buyers now. My key point is that AEWU is NOT a sell for any of us clever or lucky enough to have bought in a previous big dip (in my case 2020 covid dip)for reasons so well put by Tag57.

And SKYSHIP, as Tag57 and Spangle93 have just pointed out, my AEWU dividend yield IS 13% at my buy price, and it’s that yield that counts for me and not the yield now at a significantly higher share price! My current AEWU profit with dividends included is 100%. That’s good during a sector downturn.

And building on this point; I also bought Mining Trusts BRWM, CYN and BERI during a Mining sector dip in 2020 too. All 3 have fallen back but CYN is still more than 3 times higher than my buy price, and that’s EXCLUDING dividends on top, and the other two are still up over 150%. And the yield on big dividend paying BRWM is currently about 15% on my buy price and was more before a modest cut. And the yield on the other two though more modest is also high at 10% for CYN and 9% for BERI at my buy prices. So very useful income every year and far better than cash. i.e note my comment about John Lee’s dividends. Mine are pathetic in comparison, but at last I’ve woken up to a method that works a treat!

But my key point remains simply that AEWU is not necessarily a SELL. And for me and others using similar methods, AEWU is a strong hold. For new buyers, for now there are better choices.
