NOTES:
The Company invests in primarily newly developed social housing
assets in the UK, with a particular focus on supported housing. The
assets within the portfolio are subject to inflation-adjusted,
long-term (typically from 20 years to 30 years), Fully Repairing
and Insuring ("FRI") leases with Approved Providers (being Housing
Associations, Local Authorities or other regulated organisations in
receipt of direct payment from local government). The portfolio
comprises investments into properties which are already subject to
an FRI lease with an Approved Provider, as well as forward funding
of pre-let developments but does not include any direct development
or speculative development.
There is increasing political and financial pressure on Housing
Associations to increase their housing delivery and this is
creating opportunities for private sector investors to participate
in the market. The Group's ability to provide forward financing for
new developments not only enables the Company to secure fit for
purpose, modern assets for its portfolio but also addresses the
chronic undersupply of suitable supported housing properties in the
UK at sustainable rents as well as delivering returns to
investors.
The Company was admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund
Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 8 August
2017 and was admitted to the premium segment of the Official List
of the Financial Conduct Authority and migrated to trading on the
premium segment of the Main Market on 27 March 2018. The Company
operates as a UK Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") and is a
constituent of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT index.
