As at 31 December 2008, the Fund was invested in 41 different property funds.
4. Strategy and Investment Sector Overview
The Manager will be continuing to seek to further reduce debt where proceeds are realised from investments in unlisted trusts and syndicates. This will correspondingly reduce the weighting to unlisted property vehicles and increase the weighting to domestic and overseas REITs (or listed property trusts) which in the current environment offer more attractive long-term prospects and better relative value than some unlisted property funds.
Consistent with this, during the month the Manager announced that it was able to redeem investments in ING Real Estate Direct Office Fund and its preferred equity investment in APGF’s Diversified Property Fund. This allowed the Manager to use the proceeds from these redemptions of $4.5 million to reduce debt to $45.5 million. This equates to a 27% loan-to-value ratio as at 30 December 2008.

December 2008 saw the A-REIT sector down over 10% for the month, on the back of further capital raisings that were conducted within the REIT sector and further cuts/suspensions in distributions being announced. Whilst the A-REIT sector is showing value, the continuation of tight lending conditions and the impact of depreciating valuations will remain the main challenges in 2009.
