Listed real estate equity​

Columbia Threadneedle has been investing in listed real estate equities through through Thames River Capital (“TRC”), a specialist investor in real estate securities which has been part of the group since November 2021.
TRC has managed listed real estate equity capabilities since its inception in 2004. The managers combine their fundamental views about physical property markets and individual companies, their appreciation of the macro and thematic drivers of markets, and their experience of managing risk, volatility and net exposure.

The managers believe that the price of real estate securities may not always reflect the true underlying value of the assets. The physical real estate markets remain private with all transactions ‘over-the-counter’, thus limiting liquidity and transparency. This results in moments when individual listed real estate stocks are either over or under-valued relative to the wider market or their peers and consequently there are opportunities to generate outperformance.

The above information is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered representative of any particular investment. This should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments, or to provide investment advice or services.

Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Your capital is at risk. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The value of investments is not guaranteed, and therefore an investor may not get back the amount invested. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency fluctuations and different financial and accounting standards. Real estate investing involves risks, including, without limitation: (i) actual operating results; (ii) interest rates; (iii) availability and costs of financing; (iv) economic and market conditions; (v) date of expected exit; (vi) increases in costs of materials or services beyond projections; (vii) force majeure events (e.g., terrorist attacks, extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, war); (viii) supply/demand imbalances; (ix) currency fluctuations; (x) litigation and disputes relating to investments with joint venture partners or third parties; (xi) changes in zoning and other laws; (xii) inability to obtain necessary licenses and permits; (xiii) competition; and (xiv) changes in tax law and tax treatment and disallowance of tax positions.
The value of directly-held property reflects the opinion of valuers and is reviewed periodically. These assets can also be illiquid and significant or persistent redemptions may require the manager to sell properties at a lower market value adversely affecting the value of your investment.
