Investore’s strategy is to invest in quality, convenience-based retail properties throughout New Zealand and actively manage shareholders' capital to optimise distributions and total returns over the medium to long-term. Our strategy is based on three core principles.
Considered acquisitions and developments which deliver growth, while continuing to enhance tenant and/or geographical portfolio diversification in key metro locations, and where appropriate, consider disposals to maintain balance sheet capacity and optionality, or to recycle capital into properties with stronger growth fundamentals
Optimisation of Investore's existing portfolio through collaborating with tenants on improvement projects and refurbishments that enhance customer amenity, support store performance and deliver incremental rental income and asset value, or acquiring sites adjacent to existing properties, to provide development options for the future
Proactive capital management to maintain a flexible balance sheet for growth, while delivering sustainable returns for investors
Convenience-based retail properties typically have high occupancy, with nationally recognised quality tenant brands
Investore considers that a focus on investing in convenience-based retail property provides a number of benefits:
