gPt’s PrinciPles for driving success

factor

gPt aPProach

capital allocation

asset quality

Strong NAV growth beyond capital growth Ability to allocate the right amount of capital to the right assets at the right time Taking advantage of diferences between NTA and the security price Assets consistently attracting high levels of demand for space Provides stronger income growth over time and ensures greater resilience in performance through difficult periods

capital management

Strong balance sheet management, low leverage, low cost of capital, and better access to capital sources Having capacity to access opportunities when pricing is most attractive

scale Delivers economies and the opportunity to reduce the expense burden Provides opportunities to invest in areas outside the core sector focus Sector specialisation creates advantages through relationships, operational excellence or asset quality development Lower than average exposure to development as a proportion of total assets

gPt’s principles for driving success 06 / 57

The GPT Group 2013 Investor Presentation

imPlications for gPt

driven by total return

→ Sector specialists in a diversified framework with flexible approach

→ Capital allocation is fundamental to everything we do

$10 billion increase in fum

frugal approach and fortress balance sheet

→ Earnings: 90% passive, 10% active

→ Active earnings to comprise predominantly Funds Management fees

→ Target low MER of less than 45 basis points

→ Capacity to be opportunistic

Key drivers of total return performance within GPT business model:

→ Flexibility to allocate capital into individual sector opportunities that have the superior business case at a point in time;

→ Stock selection rather than sector weighting;

→ Ability to ‘dial up’ or ‘dial down’ different sector streams at appropriate times in the cycle; and

→ End to end capability within sectors.

GPT has delivered strong historical 10 year returns above the benchmark of 9 per cent.
