Centuria’s unlisted funds lead quarterly index
Five unlisted Centuria Capital real estate funds have dominated the ‘Top 10 Performing Core Funds’ in the recently released Property Council of Australia / MSCI Australia Unlisted Retail Quarterly Property Fund Index (PCA/MSCI Index).
The March 2020 Quarter results showed a continuation of Centuria’s past performance, with 4-6 of the property company’s funds making a continuous appearance in the Top 10 for the past 15 quarters.
The Centuria ATP Fund topped the chart having delivered a 65.3% total annualised return within the past 12 months. This was followed by the Centuria 8 Central Avenue Fund No.2 in second position, delivering a 32% annualised total return.
Jason Huljich, Centuria’s Joint CEO, said, “We take pride in actively managing the $2.1 billion assets under management across our unlisted, retail portfolio and seeing our funds regularly appear in the PCA/MSCI Index is very encouraging.
“The index was established a year after Centuria was founded and during this time we have seen the unlisted sector’s sophistication continue to evolve. This is why it is such an honour to be included within the Top 10 funds again. It illustrates our strategic approach – to ensure our active asset management combined with conservative gearing levels – is proving to be a market-leading formula.”
Since the March Quarter 2020, all Centuria unlisted syndicates now pay monthly distributions in line with the industry’s best practice standards. Centuria’s unlisted funds include assets across the office, business park and healthcare property sectors.
