“During the quarter, the Investment Division delivered robust performance despite subdued market conditions. Our high quality portfolio and strategic positioning have continued to serve us well.
“Our decision to take an overweight position in the office sector and a continued focus on sub-regional shopping centres driven by non-discretionary spending is working in the current economic climate,” said Mr Butler.
