Creating economic value

The majority of our occupiers pay rent quarterly in advance, converting our revenue quickly into cash.

Many of our costs are partially or wholly fixed, so we turn a rising proportion of our income into profit as we grow. As a REIT, we do not pay corporation tax on profits and capital gains from our qualifying property rental business, supporting our ability to pay progressive dividends to shareholders.

We also generate capital growth through our asset management activities, higher rents and market yield compression, contributing to our NAV growth.

We create value for our lenders through robust interest cover and attractive assets, which provide a high level of security.
