Performance
Our strategies have consistently delivered higher returns than the market average over one, three and five-year terms.
Pension Fund Allocation to Real Estate
As pension funds look to further manage capital volatility through a reduced exposure to global equities aligned with the need for increased income to match liabilities, the search for an alternative proxy for indexed-linked gilts has become more focused.
With indexed-linked real estate assets trading at a healthy arbitrage over the redemption yield on gilts, Cluttons Investment Management has made the case, in the downloadable research paper, for a strategic long-term increase to pension fund real estate allocation to both manage risk and reward.
Pension Fund
In every year, we have provided this client with investment returns that have been above market average. Since 2008, we have managed the commercial investment portfolio of this religious establishment, with a capital value of circa £75 million and annual rents of around £2.8 million. Income is key to this client to maintain operational buildings and to provide pensions for retired clergy.
We provide our client a comprehensive investment management service across the entire portfolio, from top-down planning to bottom-up stock selection and hands-on asset management. We also manage the ancillary services required for day-to-day running of their portfolio. Our work has repositioned their portfolio through restructuring into direct property investments with greater growth prospects that also met their overall objectives. Their portfolio has consistently outperformed MSCI indices over 3 and 5 years.
Educational Endowment
Our work with this educational institution has delivered above-average returns every year. We have worked with this client since the 1930s, and were reappointed by formal competitive tender in 2010. We manage their UK-wide commercial property investment portfolio, together with a small commercial and residential ground lease portfolio in London. The objective of their strategy is to provide income to fund their research work, so maintaining and growing a sustainable income profile, whilst minimising risk, is key to this client.
We are proud to provide our client with a comprehensive investment management service across the entire portfolio, combining a blend of research-led strategic portfolio planning with stock selection and active asset management. We also provide all ancillary services involved in managing the portfolio. Our work means that their portfolio has consistently outperformed MSCI indices over 1, 3 and 5 years.
Charitable Trust
Our work with this London charity involves the management of their portfolio, which has exceeded average market returns in each of the last 1, 3 or 5-year periods. Their portfolio has grown by acquiring prime assets across a diversified range of sectors, driven by strong property fundamentals with a long-term investment horizon in mind.
The portfolio has a balance between industrial, retail and offices, and is positioned towards the more dynamic sectors of the market to help maintain its strong performance.
