Target Fund Manager's Commentary

European equity markets moderated in March after a strong start to the year. The threat of a rising oil price and its impact on the global economic recovery affected sentiment, although fears of systemic risk in European markets receded a little. In property equities both corporate and transactional activity was plentiful. US retail real estate investment trust (REIT), Simon Property Group, surprised the market by acquiring 28.7% in Continental retail REIT Klpierre from its major shareholder BNP Paribas, paying a 20% premium to the previous days closing price and stoking general investor interest. In the UK there continues to be strong demand for prime investment property. Boston Properties (a US REIT) is said to be interested in a City office building and several sovereign wealth funds are interested in acquiring a large out-of-town shopping centre, Meadowhall, near Sheffield. Elsewhere, Hammerson disposed of a prime retail property, Rue du Faubourg St Honor in Paris, and Land Securities made several disposals. French property companies attracted interest on the funding side, with Unibail-Rodamco and Mercialys issuing longer-terms bonds at attractive margins, which were several times over-subscribed. Overall, the funds benchmark index (FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Capped Net Total Return Index (in Euros)) rose 4.5%.

Performance and activity

Fund performance was slightly behind that of the index for the month. An underweight in Klpierre was detrimental as its price appreciated as a result of the Simon Property Group transaction.However, other European retail stocks benefited from broader interest in the sector and our positions in Corio and Eurocommercial Properties benefited. The funds holding in German residential owner GSW Immobilien also performed well following positive results. However, news that the City of Dresden had settled a legal dispute with Gagfah caused the stock to jump almost 50%. An underweight position here was the biggest detractor in the fund. In the UK, the funds positioning in the majors was particularly beneficial being overweight in the two outperformers, Land Securities and Hammerson, while not owning laggards Segro and British Land. The UK Budget dealt the selfstorage industry a blow, proposing changes that would make value added tax payable on self-storage charges. Both Big Yellow and Safestore reacted negatively to the news; the fund has no position in Big Yellow, having taken profits last month, but an overweight in Safestore weighed on performance. Trading activity in the portfolio was subdued during March. Late in the month we increased our UK exposure, initiating a position in British Land after a sustained period of underperformance relative to the other UK majors. We also added to Swedens Wihlborgs and took some profits in GSW Immobilien after a strong run.

Outlook
The possibility of a European recession and the need for governments to deleverage is likely to make 2012 a challenging year for the property sector. In this scenario, the negative effects on employment and consumer expenditure will have an impact on property values, but not symmetrically. Some assets and companies will do relatively well and, in an uncertain market, prime assets are likely to remain a safe haven. Management initiatives will also be key factors in generating income growth. Equity market volatility is likely to persist in the coming months, but markets are pricing in significant weakness already. This will present opportunities, but, for now, we take comfort in the dividends of the sector and the fact that many listed property companies are in a strong position to take advantage of the opportunities presented by banks, receivers and others.
