Bull, Bear & Beyond – Custodian Property Income REIT: executive interview

In this interview, Richard Shepherd-Cross, fund manager of Custodian Property Income REIT (CREI), discusses the £36m corporate acquisition of a highly complementary, diversified family owned portfolio, its second such transaction in the past nine months. The acquisition provides a further demonstration of CREI’s ability to effectively marry its investment strategy and listed REIT structure to facilitate the corporate acquisition of family property companies using majority-share consideration. The transaction delivers immediate earnings enhancement, improved dividend cover and offers the potential for value creation through asset and portfolio management opportunities. It is also a further step in CREI’s strategy to increase scale through selective portfolio acquisitions.
