BlackWall Group Funds Update Q1 2020
WHO ARE WE?
BlackWall Limited (ASX: BWF)
We look for assets that have a problem that we think we understand and can fix. We look at real estate that is suitable for adaptive reuse and urban renewal at a price that mitigates, at least in part, the risks associated with changes of use. Our strategy requires patience but can generate material value gains and sustainable income especially during periods of dislocation in financial markets. BlackWall’s property development, management and funds activities are essentially the same as they have been for over 25 years. We generate management, performance and transaction fees from our real estate investments, the largest of these is our listed BlackWall Property Trust.
BlackWall/WOTSO Demerger Update
The demerger is now complete. As previously disclosed on 20 December 2019, BlackWall shareholders approved a transaction under which BlackWall made an "in-specie" distribution of WOTSO shares (Demerger). WOTSO is now a separate company owned by shareholders that were on the BWF register on 7 January 2020. BlackWall itself holds a 14% investment in WOTSO.
The BlackWall shares will continue to trade on the ASX under the stock code BWF. WOTSO is now an unlisted public company but has plans to list on the ASX later in the year.
BlackWall Property Trust (ASX: BWR)
This is our listed real estate investment trust (A-REIT). We generate and distribute income returns from assets. There are 11 properties in the portfolio with a gross asset value of $317M. Last year we sold our largest property the Bakehouse Quarter and in doing so we doubled the size of the trust. To maximise our return on cash reserves we have elected to repay debt rather than hold cash on deposit which has had the effect of reducing our gearing to 18%. This may appear like a lazy balance sheet but we believe that we are now strategically positioned to take advantage of future opportunities.
With property yields at record lows we think it unlikely that BWR will acquire passive real estate investments in the near term but we are on the hunt for active investments and special situations where we believe we can succeed regardless of market conditions.
