                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>The Australian unlisted direct property market has not escaped the credit squeeze, impact of rising interest rates, corrections in the global property markets and sharemarket volatility. These adverse factors have ultimately contributed to a reduction in property investment values over the past two years. Peter Flynn, Senior Investment Analyst, provides an update of direct property sector.</p>
<p>A mixture of structural drivers (through higher interest rates and scarcity of capital), together with more moderate economic growth and cyclical forces (through reduced rental demand) has negatively impacted the Australian property market. In addition, there has been a change in market sentiment and potentially higher risk in property investment markets.</p>
<p>Many funds have frozen distributions over the past two years, due to the need to reduce debt (to comply with bank loan-to-value covenants) and also pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. Liquidity is an issue with the majority of funds freezing redemptions over the past two years. Fund managers that have not suspended distributions, are only distributing free cashflow, with no income support applicable.</p>
<p>Large open-ended funds continue with ongoing efforts to reduce debt, mainly via asset sales, internal restructuring and revised investment strategies. Debt refinancing continues to remain more onerous and expensive for fund managers negotiating with banks.</p>
<p>Underlying property markets are now showing early signs of stabilising as current valuations (revalued late 2009 to June 2010) are now more realistic and the threat of fire sales recedes due the A-REIT capital raisings over the past 12-18 months. Office and industrial rents are expected to remain relatively stable over the next 12 months, until the economy and property markets demonstrate signs of a sustainable improvement.</p>
<p>In general, property funds with a higher gearing ratio and/or secondary grade property portfolios (with B-grade assets, substantial vacancies or off-shore exposures), have recorded a lower level of performance over the past year to June 2010, compared to funds with A-grade assets and well leased properties.</p>
<p>The following table provides a brief overview of the average range for key investment metrics in the direct unlisted property fund sector:</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Lonsec considers that in this current environment, it is appropriate to focus on investing in funds with quality properties, managed by experienced personnel with a good ‘track record’, together with utilising conservative capital structures (gearing ratio). Experienced fund managers will focus on managing the property portfolio and extracting any added value from assets, by efficient strategic and operational management and refurbishment programs.</p>
<p>Fund managers with robust balance sheets may be in a position to take advantage of the potential lower priced quality investment grade property over the next 6-12 months, due to the current subdued Australian property investment markets. In addition, Lonsec considers that there will be opportunities for fund managers seeking to acquire existing fund management groups/companies, coupled with further industry consolidation.</p>

                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Australian unlisted direct property market has not escaped the credit squeeze, impact of rising interest rates, corrections in the global property markets and sharemarket volatility. These adverse factors have ultimately contributed to a reduction in property investment values over the past two years. Peter Flynn, Senior Investment Analyst, provides an update of direct property sector.</p>
<p>A mixture of structural drivers (through higher interest rates and scarcity of capital), together with more moderate economic growth and cyclical forces (through reduced rental demand) has negatively impacted the Australian property market. In addition, there has been a change in market sentiment and potentially higher risk in property investment markets.</p>
<p>Many funds have frozen distributions over the past two years, due to the need to reduce debt (to comply with bank loan-to-value covenants) and also pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. Liquidity is an issue with the majority of funds freezing redemptions over the past two years. Fund managers that have not suspended distributions, are only distributing free cashflow, with no income support applicable.</p>
<p>Large open-ended funds continue with ongoing efforts to reduce debt, mainly via asset sales, internal restructuring and revised investment strategies. Debt refinancing continues to remain more onerous and expensive for fund managers negotiating with banks.</p>
<p>Underlying property markets are now showing early signs of stabilising as current valuations (revalued late 2009 to June 2010) are now more realistic and the threat of fire sales recedes due the A-REIT capital raisings over the past 12-18 months. Office and industrial rents are expected to remain relatively stable over the next 12 months, until the economy and property markets demonstrate signs of a sustainable improvement.</p>
<p>In general, property funds with a higher gearing ratio and/or secondary grade property portfolios (with B-grade assets, substantial vacancies or off-shore exposures), have recorded a lower level of performance over the past year to June 2010, compared to funds with A-grade assets and well leased properties.</p>
<p>The following table provides a brief overview of the average range for key investment metrics in the direct unlisted property fund sector:</p>
<div id="attachment_3420" style="width: 434px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3420" href="https://adviservoice.com.au/2010/10/update-australian-unlisted-direct-property-funds/untitled-16/"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3420" class="size-full wp-image-3420" title="Key investments" src="https://adviservoice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Untitled3.png" alt="" width="424" height="62" srcset="https://www.adviservoice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Untitled3.png 424w, https://www.adviservoice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Untitled3-300x43.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-3420" class="wp-caption-text">* if applicable</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Lonsec considers that in this current environment, it is appropriate to focus on investing in funds with quality properties, managed by experienced personnel with a good ‘track record’, together with utilising conservative capital structures (gearing ratio). Experienced fund managers will focus on managing the property portfolio and extracting any added value from assets, by efficient strategic and operational management and refurbishment programs.</p>
<p>Fund managers with robust balance sheets may be in a position to take advantage of the potential lower priced quality investment grade property over the next 6-12 months, due to the current subdued Australian property investment markets. In addition, Lonsec considers that there will be opportunities for fund managers seeking to acquire existing fund management groups/companies, coupled with further industry consolidation.</p>
