Investment summary

Recent portfolio updates provide evidence of the group's ability to extract strong returns from its investments despite the tough UK retail market. A disposal in Great Yarmouth returned a 43.2% IRR in just five months. Lease renewals/extensions in Newcastle upon Tyne have enhanced asset values, while the acquisition of a long leasehold in Skegness (at a 9.5% NIY) and a freehold in Wallsend open up redevelopment opportunities and release capital value. The shares are attractive, supported by a c 8% prospective yield, substantial asset backing and potential for medium-term growth.

Industry outlook

The investment focus on relatively resilient, better placed secondary retail centres and food and ‘value’ retailers underpins rental growth prospects and resilience of future cash flows, as these are less discretionary areas of consumer spending. The limited UK retail development pipeline will also support demand for affordable provincial units, to the benefit of selective investors/asset managers such as NRR.
