Thematics

Picton Property Income is an internally managed UK REIT that invests in a diversified portfolio of commercial property across the UK. It is total return driven with a strong income focus and aims to generate attractive returns through proactive management of the portfolio.

Across much of the commercial market, especially for industrial and logistics, occupier demand remains robust, new supply restricted and rents are increasing. Investment demand has begun to pick up from very low levels and the turn of the interest rate cycle should provide further support.

H125 results will be released on 12 November. Since reporting on FY24, strong letting activity and ongoing active asset management have continued to unlock portfolio value, generating increasing rents and occupancy and reducing void property costs. Q125 DPS of 0.925p (an annualised 3.7p) was 102% covered by EPRA EPS and NAV per share of 96.0p showed no material change. NAV total return was 0.9%. Like-for-like portfolio valuation increased 0.4% over the quarter, slightly above the 0.3% capital return for the MSCI UK Monthly Property Index. Data to end-FY24 showed Picton outperforming its MSCI benchmark for 11 consecutive years, with an upper-quartile performance since launch in 2005.
