HCFT has two "concert parties"!The Kingerlee party which has circa 41%.The Kingerlees have been involved in HCFT since at least 1973 and I think were instrumental in it becoming listed on LSE.The family have other house building & property interests in Oxford area.HCFT was originally an investment company and gradually became a property company then a REIT.The unconnected Conn "concert party" own about 24% they also own property company Stewart & Wight which was formerly LSE listed.

spangle reads well but i noted this cautionary comment though

"second half has already started showing increasing signs that the impact of rising interest rates, soaring inflation and increasing negativity surrounding the economic outlook are starting to push out valuation yields which could negatively impact valuations"

Looks like they've recovered a fair amount of unpaid rent over last 6mths which is great but it flatters cashflow even so at the operating level they are covering the dividend even with reduced rental income.

Also i see Kingerlee is fully stepping down may have been reported before although given his concert party own 40% of HCFT he will be keeping a close eye on matters so hopefully this doesn't presage a move to sell down.

Somewhere HCFT has been tipped. I haven't found out where yet.

Superadams , this is not all time high, a few years ago they were higher.

NAV up 15.5% not to be sneered at but divi barely covered at the cash level.

Price recovered well here now so not sure much more to be gained here although many in the sector have had good traction since the sell off a few weeks back seems reliable yield is back in fashion.

I wonder if the results are going to be better than we anticipate, on the NAV front. Alternatively, they may have had an approach, perhaps, because one of the two major holders wishes to exit.

Looking at the price British Land just paid for some warehouses – see their announcement yesterday – there is certainly more value in HCFT than the current share price.

Of course, all of my comments above are highly speculative and may be unfounded.

Even with its eye-watering spread I'm finally up! [party hat on]

HIGHCROFT Investments (HCFT) – the next REIT to look anomalously cheap

HCFT is perhaps the smallest of the investable UK listed property companies, with Net Assets of £61.4m and a MCap of just £46.6m. It is a very conservatively managed company with antenna well attuned to the sector minefield; ie, where to allocate your funds – office, industrial, retail warehouse, retail etcetcetc.

Warehouse/Retail Warehouse (“W/RW”) together accounted for 72% of the portfolio at the Jun’21 Interim stage, with Retail at just 7%. This compares with 48% & 29% just 8yrs ago; and at that time they also had 4% in residential. So, they have moved the portfolio strongly in the right direction; and a perusal through the website also shows the quality of the tenant mix at each and every one of their W/RW sites.
The highlight of September’s Interim Statement was the 7.3% increase in the NAV to 1185p, a figure surpassing the pre-Covid high of 1175p. Less good was the fall in occupancy rate from 99% to 89%:

“At the period end three of our properties were void, representing 11% of our rental income. We are negotiating a new lease on one of these units representing 4% of our rental income, and we are actively engaged in seeking new tenants for the others.”

A post period completion on a sale takes their cash up to £6.2m; so news of an acquisition would be beneficial before too much earnings lag.
An obvious attraction is the yield. With last year’s dividend of 57p (inc. a 6p special dividend) the yield at 900p = 6.33%. At that same 900p the NAV discount = 24.1%. LTV is 31.4% and Debt Cost = 3.1%.

Trading is complicated by the fact that associates of one of the Directors, David Kingerlee, account for 41% of the equity; whilst another holding company with the awkward name of DG & MB Conn & Associates account for a further 23.2%. Conn (AKA Stewart & Wight Ltd) is a private property company and a long term holder which routinely adds c15,000 shares to their holding every year.

With the free float at just 35.8% of the 5.183m shares, ie just c1.85m shares, the Market is always tight and the spread usually wide; though not as wide as the headline figure. The spread at the moment is 888p-914p (2.9%) versus the headline figure of 870p-920p (5.7%).

Accordingly, buyers need to be patient, not over-pay, perhaps wait to follow in after a seller.

To summarise, HCFT is well managed, has an excellent portfolio and offers a yield and discount level now rather out-of-line with their larger peers. With talk of rationalisation amongst the smaller REITs, corporate action remains a possibility; and would likely deliver an immediate 33% upside.

A safe and secure high-yielder.
