Objective

Benchmark

CBRE GMM advocate a generally higher weighting to core specialist funds than ING; these are preferred
on account of expected stronger performance from core specialist operators which have only moderately
higher overall gearing
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
London Borough of Newham Superannuation Fund | 11
Mandate Strategy

The current portfolio is unlikely to meet its performance objective for the following reasons:
− The portfolio’s weighted average dividend yield of 3.9% is below the current benchmark yield of 4.2%*
− The legacy RREEF holdings (21.8% of NAV) are expected to underperform. We are actively engaging with RREEF to exit
these holdings. Igloo Regeneration Partnership (6.4% of NAV) is also likely to drag performance over the near term
− The existing exposure to balanced funds (47.7% of NAV) is not consistent with the strategic allocation required to meet the
performance objective

The mandate’s minimum investment exposure to open-ended funds, which is currently in breach (48% vs.
50%), would mean an immediate requirement to acquire an additional open-ended holding to remedy this
breach

If this restriction were relaxed then we would seek to bring the portfolio’s strategic UK allocations in-line with
our standard proposition and improve performance going forwards via:
− Increasing exposure to prime dominant retail and industrial/logistics assets
− Taking advantage of current discounts to NAV in preferred core specialist funds e.g. the Henderson UK Shopping Centre
Fund at a 7-8% discount to NAV
− Make commitments to newly originated club transactions which fit strategic themes such as the lack of high quality logistics
assets or the constrained property lending environment

Consider widening mandate to include a global property exposure
*Excluding managed funds that do not distribute

Expected Return
20%+ IRR

Opportunity to invest in a newly established specialist private industrial/logistics development fund whose
activity will be focused in the East Midlands and South East regions in the UK.

The management team are very experienced and have a strong track record in this market segment. This was
highlighted by a recently announced development partnership which the company entered into with the largest
specialist UK industrial REIT.

The fund will be focused on the development of prime industrial and ‘big-box’ warehouse assets. The risk of this
activity will be minimized through the signing of pre-lets by tenants prior to any major works being undertaken.

There is the potential in the future for GMM to access the completed assets on behalf of its clients. These will be
prime well located properties, let on long lease terms, with a significant proportion of the income stream having
RPI linked leases.

Debt Investment Opportunity

GMM view Debt as an attractive investment
opportunity and have already invested in a preferred
debt fund on behalf of a number of clients

There is a general shortage of Debt supply given the
reduced appetite of banks in the wake of the financial
crisis and due to the ‘re-financing gap’ we believe debt
yields are mis-priced relative to prospective equity
returns

Proposals for investment are in the mezzanine layer of
financing (between the senior debt and equity
positions) and whole loan or ‘stretched senior’
positions (mezzanine and senior) on good quality
income producing assets

Both mezzanine and whole loan positions require
documentation with appropriate covenants and
features to protect the lender in a downside scenario

Property Derivatives Opportunity

Property Derivatives can provide a range of synthetic exposures to the property market

Derivatives include swaps, structured notes, and the InProp UK Commercial Property Fund

Such holdings are generally used on a tactical basis when derivative pricing provides a return opportunity
relative to projected market performance

Alternatively inProp, an ungeared balanced UK fund, has a target to perform in line with the IPD Annual
Property Index, which measure the performance only of direct property investments

inProp has low tracking error and can provide additional liquidity in a portfolio via monthly redemption windows

Risks (including counterparty and structuring) are appropriately assessed and contracts requiring open
positions and short term margin calls are not maintained

We believe Property Derivatives can be utilised to positively benefit portfolio performance; opportunistic pricing
may on occasion only be available for a relatively short period – hence our request for inclusion in the IMA

Global Real Estate Opportunity
 CBRE Global Investors estimates that the global institutionally-investable
real estate market has a value of $26 trillion
2011 Global Investable
Universe
 This is predominantly (c. 76%) made up of developed markets
 However with the demographic and structural trends underway, emerging
markets are expected to increase their share to c. 37% by 2020
 The UK has a relatively large investable real estate investment market, yet
represents only 5% of the global universe
 By broadening allocations to include markets outside the UK, investors
can substantially increase their opportunity set
2020 Global Investable
Universe
 CBRE Global Investors believes that a key attraction of the global
market is that it offers significantly greater opportunities for skilled
managers to outperform by allocating capital, top down, to markets
which out-perform, as well as by good stock selection within markets


European Central Bank liquidity injection has helped


Construction pipelines are limited in developed markets,
resulting in shortage of space meeting modern
requirements
Economic growth and limited new supply expected to
drive rental recovery, especially in US, Japan, Australia

Property attractively priced relative to current bond yields
in most markets

Opportunities for higher return seeking investments
where general risk aversion is mis-pricing risk

Return Per Unit of Risk
Source: CBRE GMM, Dec 2011

Since global real estate is not perfectly correlated with UK property, adding global will initially reduce risk

We have analysed the mix of domestic UK exposure and global exposure that will provide the best risk
adjusted returns in an absolute sense

This analysis suggests an optimum mix in the region of 50:50 between domestic UK and global real estate –
but the mix will depend on client’s overall needs and objectives

 Accessing direct real estate market returns is all but impossible given the quantum of capital required to reduce
specific risk in property portfolios
 Over recent years the real estate fund management industry has evolved to meet increasing cross-border
investor demand and there is now a $2.2 trillion (gross asset value) universe of unlisted real estate funds
 The challenges are the use of leverage in funds, tax, fees & costs, currency risk, and illiquidity. These should all
be accounted for when considering a global allocation

IMA Investment Restriction - Proposed Amendments

To ensure that we are best able to manage the mandate in accordance with your performance objective we
would recommend the following:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–

Minimum allocation to open-ended funds of 25% 50% of NAV
Maximum investment in RREEF controlled vehicles controlled by a single manager of 30%
Maximum portfolio average gearing level of 30% LTV
Maximum portfolio average gearing level of non-balanced funds of 50% LTV
Maximum investment in Continental Europe Global Property of 20% of NAV
Maximum investment in a single investment of 20% of NAV
Maximum cash exposure of 10% of NAV
Maximum listed securities exposure of 10% of NAV
Maximum property derivatives exposure via indirect funds and/or structured notes of 10% of NAV
Maximum allocation to funds with predominantly property debt related investments 10% of NAV
The other options which are available to remedy the existing investment restriction breach are to either:
– Adjust the minimum investment exposure to open-ended funds restriction to 45%; or
– Maintain the existing investment restrictions and top up an existing open-ended holding or purchase a new open-ended
holding. This would be achieved via a secondary market transaction using available monies

RREEF UK Core Fund

Newham’s largest holding (19.3% of NAV) is a legacy investment in the RREEF UK Core Property Fund – an
underperforming UK balanced fund that has a significant redemption queue

Following investor action, RREEF have conducted a comprehensive review of the fund to address liquidity
requirements and a stabilisation of fund performance while maintaining a well balanced portfolio of assets

The outcome of the review is a recommendation to merge the fund with another core balanced fund
−
The preferred fund to merge with is the BlackRock UK Property Fund

Ongoing due diligence is being conducted by BlackRock and investor approval will be required to approve any
transaction

We are actively monitoring the process and will keep you informed as this progresses further
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
London Borough of Newham Superannuation Fund | 39
Conclusion
 The portfolio is projected to underperform the performance objective due to the current portfolio composition
(vs. target allocations) and underperforming legacy holdings, inc. those of RREEF
 Recommendation to amend mandate investment restrictions enabling increased weighting to core specialist
funds and widening of mandate to include Global exposure, Debt and derivatives
 We believe this will best enable Newham to achieve its performance objectives
 Ongoing engagement with RREEF regarding progress concerning the RREEF UK Core Property Fund

Appendix 2 - UK Market Overview
UK Market Overview

Environment is being overshadowed by concerns over sovereign debt crisis and growth outlook. The
indications are that this is starting to impact the real estate markets as transaction volumes slow and investor
unease increases

The ongoing problems in the wider Eurozone and uncertainty over its direction have had and will continue to
have a material effect on both fundamentals and sentiment in the UK

The UK has gone into recession in 2012, as a combination of austerity, ongoing de-leveraging, higher taxes
and weak business sentiment and consumer confidence impacts activity

Occupier market conditions remain subdued, especially outside of London and the South East due to the
impact of austerity measures. The majority of property segments will see rental value declines this year

Investors have shown strong demand for relatively low risk Grade-A assets leading to a historically wide
pricing divergence between prime and secondary (Grade B) property assets; this gap is likely to widen

UK total returns, as measured by IPD, are starting to decelerate as a weak rental recovery is offset by a
marked slowdown of yield compression; negative total returns are anticipated this year

Property lending conditions are now more constrained than last year and lending capacity to property is
shrinking

We are now starting to see banks working through their loan books more meaningfully and as a result bring
assets to market
