 Property brings highs and lows for Independent
Independent (IIT) investment trust may have been ‘wrong-footed’ by housebuilders last year but manager Max Ward is backing West End property company Derwent London (DLN).
In final results to 30 November, in which the £288m trust reported a net asset value decline of 2.2%, Ward said he took a new stake in Derwent London.
He said the group was ‘a high-quality West End property company whose shares looked cheap following concerns about the impact of working from home on office property prices’.
Not all of Ward’s property plays paid off last year and he said he has put housebuilders ‘under review’ after the trust was ‘badly wrong-footed by the appearance of Covid-19’.
He admitted he was ‘slow to recognise’ the change in sentiment towards the sector as the pandemic hit and was forced to make ‘substantial sales at what turned out to be distressed prices’.
‘This net result was that we ended up buying high and selling low – a textbook example of how not to ply our trade, about which we feel suitably sheepish,’ he said. |

DLN rental update issued this morning and pretty positive as expected being an office centric operation. Nothing on leases so we won't know where there headed until next report as i doubt they will RNS adverse news on lease deals. |
philanderer that was retail side offices were at 95% so DLN should expect similar outcome but im interested in lease renewals but suspect they won't say anything on a rental collection update. |
British Land said that it had only collected 46% of the rents for the three months to the end of December as the lockdown and restrictions continue to see its tenants struggling to pay up.

Still feel DLN are exposed to the c20% of leases on break or expiry over next 18mths so best upside is they roll over at same rents worst case lots of vacancies. |
