The yield-to-maturity (YTM) on the Long-Term South African government bond (RLRS) de-rated by 9bps, ending the month at 8.90% (8.81% - 30 August 2019). On a YTD basis, SA Bonds were the outperformers with returns of 8.44%, followed by SA Equities (7.08%), SA Cash (5.45%) and SA Property (1.34%). The SA Listed Property (SAPY) and the All Property (ALPI) Indices continues to underperform other asset classes on a rolling 12-month period.
Globally, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Net Rental Index, recorded a net total USD return of 2.48% in September. The best performing listed real estate market was the UK, which recorded a total USD return of 8.32% for the month. Australia recorded the lowest total USD return of -3.17%. Year to date, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Net Rental Index has recorded a net total USD return of 21.20%. The best performing listed real estate market for the nine months was the US, with a net total USD return of 25.55%. Hong Kong recorded the lowest total USD return of 3.44% for the nine months.
The Fund’s offshore allocation is approximately 48.6% on a see-through basis. Overall, global real estate fundamentals remain healthy, mainly due to manageable supply levels relative to demand. Locally, despite the weak outlook for local property fundamentals & downward revisions to earnings growth over the medium term, should dividends remain intact and growth return over the medium to long term, SA listed real estate remains attractively priced. On average, SA centric companies are trading at forward yields above the long-term South African Government Bond proxy (RLRS).
The fund is an actively managed fund, which has a total return objective and seeks to offer investors a return in excess of CPI + 4% over the long term. The fund will have a flexible mandate allowing investment in both local listed property securities, global listed property securities and local and offshore cash.
