Fund Overview
Investment Opportunity
L1 Capital believes the outlook for U.K. residential property (excluding London) offers a compelling opportunity. The combination of high rental yields, low borrowing costs and attractive long-term supply-demand dynamics makes for an attractive investment case. To take advantage of the opportunity, L1 Capital is launching its fourth U.K. Residential Property Fund, having successfully been investing in the strategy since September 2017. The investment strategy is centred on purchasing large blocks of fully tenanted apartments in Tier-1 U.K. cities, adding value throughout the purchase and asset management process.
Investment Objective
The objective of the Fund is to deliver clients a minimum net return of 10% p.a., including a dividend yield of 6% p.a. (after fees and expenses, before tax).
Investment Strategy
The Fund’s strategy is focused on investing in existing and fully tenanted modern residential property in major U.K. cities (excluding London) that provide an attractive and reliable income stream with the potential for capital growth. The Fund typically purchases in bulk and is able to transact at a significant discount to open market values (~20% discount) and rebuild costs (30-40%).
