Suddenly withdrawing liquidity from an owned security is amongst the most damaging things one could do from the perspective of risk. They would cover this off by saying that you can still sell the security, but as we can see, the penalty for this one-way liquidity is a 5% or so drop from the get-go. I am assuming a high degree of cause and effect here, but I would largely stand by it.

They would also point to the greater good - protecting a larger number of unsophisticated investors from potential harm. However, the simple solution is one of self-declaration, thereby avoiding all of this n nonsense. And so easy to do.

Specto is entirely on the button by saying that it for US to make risk decisions, and NOT HL. After all, their own credentials in this regard are - and I use a mild word - underwhelming. There are harsher words which are possibly more descriptive and even accurate, and are improved by adding the odd adverb.

I wouldn't let them dictate what I can't buy, id switch to AJ Bell or Interactive investor.

Pathetic, they've done this to a couple of mine - how on earth did the rules come to this? HL happily ramped customers into Woodford, yet they want to stop purchases in SHED because they've not been given an assessment as to whether SHED are "...Achieving good outcomes and delivering value for investors"?

Guess what HL - I can make that decision for myself, it's why I have a self-select ISA.

Interestingly HL have restricted me buying more, anyone else had the same

Authorised fund managers are required to provide an annual fair price and value assessment for each of their investment funds.

We need assurance that this assessment has been completed to ensure the investments we offer are achieving good outcomes and delivering value for investors. We collect this from third-party providers.

The assessment for Urban Logistics REIT plc Ordinary 1p has not been made available to us from the third-party provider for the required period and so we’re removing the option to buy any more of the investment until it’s been received.

What this means for you

This means you can continue to hold it and sell at any time, but you’re currently unable to buy any more of the investment through us.

If, however, you have an existing income reinvestment or regular saving instruction into the investment, it will currently continue.

What happens next

We’re continuing to actively monitor this and will look to reopen the investment for investors to buy, if appropriate, when this information is made available to us. We’ll provide an update on the purchase status of your investment as soon as we can, but can’t guarantee at this stage when this will be.

Just looking at this for a possible buy.

Could the recent Segro capital raise be a factor in the SHED price weakness..more capacity to come on market..?.

Or because of the aborted merger with API, investors have concluded SHED will now remain a relatively small Trust, while some others continue to grow.

The above may be too rudimentary a view.

Smaller property stocks left behind today, LAND, BLAND up 3 -4 %, guess institutional buying, retail investors on side lines still. SHED liked by IC & Mail, so will be recommended soon.

Cant post the graphs in the FT article, sorry. Its dated 21 Feb
==================================================================
UK’s scramble for sheds could be the start of a deals boom.
Deals could beget deals, with bigger companies meaning increased share liquidity which should broaden investor appeal

"Men in sheds” usually refers to British retirees discussing gardening. A more active group is shaking up London’s listed property sector.

There has been a flurry of share-based takeovers focused on warehousing space. Urban Logistics REIT, whose stock ticker is SHED, is the latest to pounce, launching a counter-offer for Aberdeen Property Income Trust this week with aims to create a vehicle worth £800mn.

Commercial property is in the spotlight because of the turmoil that writedowns on US offices are causing lenders. Higher interest rates have slashed valuations across the sector. Industrial property values and logistics in particular are about a quarter lower since the pandemic-era boom in demand. But the scramble for sheds is a sign that the cycle is nearing its trough.

Shares in Segro reflect the decline — they are down about two-fifths since the start of 2022. Smaller peers have performed little differently but ambitions of replicating Segro’s success as the largest UK Reit need one thing; scale.

Hence consolidation. Before the Urban Logistics offer, API was considering a lower bid from Custodian Property. It was low enough, in fact, that some API shareholders were pushing for the fund’s liquidation over a sale.

Other deals are in the offing. LondonMetric’s all-share offer for LXi REIT, at the start of the year, will bring the urban logistics owner together with LXi’s diversified portfolio with a market value of just under £4bn.

Tritax Big Box, which owns larger out-of-town sheds, has agreed to buy UKCM to become the fourth-largest UK Reit worth about £4bn. Simply sticking property assets together doesn’t create much value; Green Street’s Rob Virdee thinks Tritax is overpaying given that UKCM’s more diversified portfolio may not fit well with its specialism.

But deals could beget deals in this sector. Bigger companies mean increased liquidity in the shares, which should broaden investor appeal. Higher valuations will be important in an expected wave of dealmaking, says Paul May at Barclays.

Assets equivalent to the size of the European-listed sector could come to market this year as private owners, including pension and insurance funds, bail out of commercial property. Private equity firms in particular are expected to shift out of less attractive property assets as funds approach their end dates.

This would reverse trends of the low-rate era whereby assets moved from public markets to private owners. The winners should be those with the ability to raise equity more cheaply: greater scale translates into lower costs of capital and improved prospects.

Unlike offices, the fundamentals of the warehouse market look solid in terms of demand for space and rental levels. That should mean plenty more action for the City’s men in sheds.

CREI have just come out and said they're still keen - and made this point, similar to ours:

"...ULR provides investors a ‘pure play’ on exposure to logistics real estate, acquiring only ‘last mile’ assets which are well located close to urban areas(2) and the ULR Offer states the combined group would “focus on the last-mile / last-touch mid-box area of UK logistics”.
The API portfolio is highly diverse across Industrial (48%), Offices (25%), Retail warehousing (11%), High street retail (4%) and Other (12%) (% of API’s portfolio by income as at 31 December 2023)(3).
The CREI Board notes that 52% of the API portfolio (as a % of API's portfolio by income as at 31 December 2023) does not represent industrial properties;"


So more than half of API isn't a fit with SHED.

Surely the API-owned offices will already have been pitched to potential buyers.

The unfixed part of API's funding is through an RCF at SONIA +150bps i.e. 6.7%. If this could have been repaid through sales, particularly of offices, surely it would have been done.

Of course, the API NAV, or at least the office part will have fallen in Q4. So at least offices will be a smaller percentage than currently stated :-)

SHED have a better chance of sorting out the API mess that API have on their own (and they could be lucky with interest rate cuts) but I'd rather they didn't take that risk.

Investors bought SHED because of their clear strategy and sensible financing. Hopefully that means that any bid which threatens this will be voted down. If the SHED management are deemed to have lost their way and motivated purely by selfish considerations then this could make SHED vulnerable to a bigger and better-financed rival

Urban Logistics swings to a loss but pricing 'equilibrium' in sight
The last-mile warehouse investor has been hit by the selloff in commercial property but says investors are being tempted back by repriced assets.

Urban Logistics (SHED) swung to a full-year loss as the warehouse investor counted the cost of the commercial property selloff but says a pricing ‘equilibrium’ will return more quickly than in previous downturns.

The £556m real estate investment trust (Reit), led by chief executive Richard Moffitt, reported a 31 March net asset value (NAV) of 162.44p, which represents a 14% decline for the full year and an 11% drop over the six-month period since 30 September, when the disastrous mini-Budget caused a gilt meltdown and a sharp repricing in property markets.

The fall was, unsurprisingly, driven by a 9.8% decline in valuation over the year. The Reit fell to a pre-tax loss of £82.7m from a profit of £171.8m the year before.

As is the story with most commercial property trusts, while valuations took a hit, rental income was buoyant, with estimated rental value growing by 9.5% over the year. Rents increased most in the ‘active management’ part of the portfolio, up 10.9%, where tenant covenants were improved and leases lengthened.

Moffitt, whose management contract has been extended to 2027 on the approval of shareholders, said this helped ‘protect against the impact of negative yield shift’ in the portfolio.

‘By holding firm to the strategy first set out in 2016, we aim to mitigate the worst effects of the economic downturn,’ he said.

High demand
Despite the valuation write-down, Moffitt said the portfolio of last-mile, single-let logistics assets is ‘in high demand given the undersupply of assets of this type, driven by long-term structural shifts in our economy and a chronic lack of supply’.

‘This supports the occupational market and allows us to offset yield erosion with rising rental rates, captured in 42 lease events over the year, generating £6.1m in additional rental income,’ he said.

Property investors had hoped for a swift uptick in price after the selloff but Moffitt said the ‘macroeconomic and geopolitical picture for 2023 and beyond continues to evolve’.

‘Given the repricing of real estate assets and land values in 2022, we believe the equilibrium level where buyers and vendors will trade has been found more quickly than witnessed in previous cycles.

Investors are already returning to the market, attracted by re-based higher yields, rental value growth and the long-term drivers of the logistics sector.’

Moffitt said e-commerce, which powers much of the logistics sector, remains a ‘fundamental and growing part of the economy’ and therefore provides a ‘sound footing to our business model of last-touch, mid-sized logistics assets, let to financially resilient tenants’.

Low vacancy rates also provide confidence to investors wanting to buy properties and although the cost-of-living crisis is burdening the consumer, and higher labour costs and business rates are weighing on companies, Moffitt said the logistics sector remains ‘attractive217;.

‘We continue to take pride in what we have achieved in what has been a challenging 12 months,’ he said.

‘We have renewed leases with existing tenants, built warehouses for new tenants, and welcomed new team members and shareholders to the company. We see significant opportunity and value within the portfolio and look to the future with a mix of caution, ambition and excitement.’

Leasing success
Numis analyst Andrew Rees said the Reit has a ‘strong track record of leasing success’ that the trust should be ‘well placed to capture over the next 12 months’.

‘This runway for top line rental growth, combined with relatively low cost of debt, should help further improve dividend cover towards 100%,’ he said.

‘In the current environment transaction activity will be focused on the “active management” portion of the portfolio, and we would therefore not be surprised to see further disposals of “core” assets in addition to the £15m since year-end.’

Shares in the trust have been weak recently and are trading at a 27% discount to NAV, which Rees said is ‘not reflective of the attractive occupational demand story, notwithstanding the scope for further yield driven valuation weakness as interest rates look set to be raised further’.
