Social housing REITS and HYP - thoughts
Posted: November 2nd, 2017, 9:42 pm
There was an article (I think in the Times) on social housing REITS. It seems almost too good to be true paying any where up to 10% dividend. However thinking about it this is a genuine long term investment with constant demand.
Examples included
https://www.trustnet.com/factsheets/o/j ... -z-acc-gbp - Threadneedle UK Social Bond Z Acc
Currently Civitas Social Housing has an IPO out
Fixed rate dividend of 3%1 p.a. on the C Shares
> C Shares will convert into Ordinary Shares
(within 12 months or once 90% of proceeds have been
invested/committed)
> These Ordinary Shares will then target a dividend of
5%1
p.a. paid quarterly, expected to increase broadly in
line with inflation
■ 100p issue price/98p opening NAV
as does Golden Lane Housing (fixed at 3.9%)
The value of the bond seems to be between £150 million and £350 million)
Any thoughts
