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.
The commercial property market is cyclical, historically exhibiting substantial swings in capital values through cycles while income returns have been significantly more stable. Commercial property has the potential to offer a degree of inflation hedging but rising government bond yields have begun to weigh on asset valuations across the main sectors.

Positive leasing activity and rental growth drove Picton Property Income’s H123 income returns, softening the impact of weaker market-wide property values and continuing its long track record of property outperformance versus the index. Significant opportunities for further growth in income and fully covered DPS are protected by 95% of drawn debt being fixed rate. Low gearing provides protection against further weakness in property values and NAV.
