Fund OverviewQuay is a boutique investment management business established in 2013 with a focus on preserving and creating wealth for investors through investments in real estate securities. Quay uses a dual manager approach to the investment and portfolio management decision making process. This involves both Principals collaborating to determine significant portfolio investments and positions.

The Fund will invest in a number of global listed real estate companies, groups or funds. The investment strategy is to make investments in real estate securities at a price that will deliver a real, after inflation, total return of 5% per annum (before costs and fees), inclusive of distributions over a longer-term period.

The Investment Strategy is indifferent to the constraints of any index benchmarks and is relatively concentrated in its number of investments. The Fund is expected to own between 20 and 40 securities, and from time to time up to 20% of the portfolio maybe invested in cash. The Fund is $A un-hedged.
Manager CommentsQuay Global Real Estate Fund increased +3.1% for the month of February 2017, comprising +4.4% in stock performance, while the stronger AUD deducted -1.3%. The local currency has proven to be a major headwind for the Fund performance over the past 12 months. In local currency terms, total Fund returns have been +13.9%, however, the strong 12 months rally in AUD has reduced reported AUD returns to +4.8%. Since inception, the Fund has an annualised return of 15.35% p.a.

The largest contributors to the month's return were Stag Industrial (up +12% in local currency terms) and Equity Lifestyle Properties (US). The smallest contributors (mainly due to their low portfolio weights) were RLJ Lodging (US) and Camden Living (US). Apartments (18%), Storage (11.6%) and Industrial (11.5%) were the most heavily weighted sectors in the portfolio. The Fund holds around 10% in cash as the investment team looks for better entry prices or new opportunities.
