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 CommentsThe end of July represented a significant milestone for the Bennelong Quay Global Real Estate Fund, bringing up their three-year track record. The Fund has outperformed its benchmark (FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed Index Net TR AUD) consistently since inception, with an annualised return of +14.4% p.a. against its benchmark which has risen by +9.4% p.a. over the same period.

Although the Fund fell by -1.3% for the month, it outperformed its benchmark by +0.8%. Approximately +1.6% of the Fund's performance was derived from underlying investments, while the stronger AUD detracted -2.8%. The Manager notes that the RBA's discussion of a neutral cash rate of 3.5% contributed to the strength of the Australian dollar.

The biggest positive contributors include Brixmor (US Retail), Hispania (Spain Diversified) and CyrusOne (US Data Centres), while the biggest detractors for the month were Ventas (US Healthcare), Pure Industrial (Canada Industrial) and Mid America Apartments (US Multi-family).
