Industrial Property Investment Fund
The Industrial Property Investment Fund (IPIF) was launched in 1997. The fund aims to invest primarily in good quality, predominantly multi-let, industrial estates as well as distribution warehouses with an emphasis on London and the South East. It also invests, to a lesser extent, in regional assets, trade parks, self-storage units and targeted development projects.
Our strategy
The fund maintains a rolling refurbishment and lease negotiation programme.
The portfolio maintains a South-East bias.
The fund seeks to actively manage its buildings in order to add value where such opportunities exist.
Core strengths
Diversified portfolio
The fund has grown to over £2 billion with 169 properties let to over 1,400 tenants (as at 31 December 2020).
Management intensive
The fund seeks to drive performance through the efficient management of a large number of tenant relationships and a continuing programme of new lettings, lease renewals and rent reviews to add value.
Experienced team
The dedicated fund team has significant industry experience. Its knowledge of market dynamics and strength of occupier relationships, we believe, is second to none. The ability to leverage this insight is key in delivering the investment performance demonstrated to date.
As at 31 December 2020.
A focus on sustainability
The fund actively promotes the importance of the circular economy, so aiming to improve society and the wider environment. The fund works alongside property management partners to, where possible, reduce, reuse and repurpose waste rather than it ending up in landfill or an incinerator. All of this, with a view to benefiting both local social enterprises and the environment.
Case study
