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 Quay Global Real Estate Fund maintained its recent performance momentum by returning +1.7% in May, despite a -1% currency headwind. Since inception in July 2014 the Fund has returned +13.82% per annum. The Fund has returned +10.95% over the past three months compared to +1.50% for the Global Equity benchmark.

The largest contributors to performance in May included Educations Realty Trust (US student accommodation) and Stag Industrial (US Industrial). LEG Immobilien (German Housing) was one of the few detractors, having given up some recent gains. As the take-over of Pure Industrial REIT was completed Quay reinvested the proceeds across their preferred names and introduced a small position in data storage REIT - Coresite Realty Corp. Global real estate delivered +1.3% total return supported by strong gains in the UK, Canada and the US. On a relative basis the Fund benefited by avoiding weaker geographies such as Japan and France.

Quay noted they continue to expect the next move by the RBA to be down with a general trend toward a zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) over the medium term, and, as house prices continue to cool across the country, that expectation may soon become the new consensus.
