Capital growth

Capital growth as a percentage is equal to the net result (INREV) minus the distributable result, divided by the INREV NAV at the beginning of the period, plus any capital calls (time-weighted) and less any distributed dividends/capital distributions (time-weighted).

Direct property return

Direct property return as a percentage is equal to the net rental income of investment properties divided by the value of the investment properties including purchaser’s transaction costs, on a monthly basis (IPD methodology).

Distributable result

Distributable result is the total rental income and other income net of all expenses, costs, fees (including management fee), financing costs and taxes borne by the Fund available for distribution to the shareholders.

Estimated rental value

The estimated rent at which space within a property could reasonably be expected to be let given current market conditions.

Financial occupancy rate

This is the average occupancy rate of the portfolio over the year calculated on the basis of rental revenue according to contracts as at the reporting date, as a percentage of the theoretical rent.

Gross Asset Value (GAV)

The total property portfolio plus the value of any further assets at market value as per the chosen valuation principles.

Gross initial yield (passing)

Passing rent divided by the gross capital value of the investment property including purchaser's transaction costs as per end of period.

Gross initial yield (market)

Theoretical rent (market) divided by the gross capital value of the investment property including purchaser's transaction costs as per end of period.

Gross rental income

The gross rental income is the total contractual rental income over the reporting period from let properties reported under IFRS, including the net effects of straight-lining for lease incentives, including rent free periods.

Income return

Income return as a percentage is equal to the distributable result, divided by the INREV NAV at the beginning of the period, plus any capital calls (time-weighted) and less any distributed dividends/capital distributions (time-weighted).

Indirect property return

Indirect property return as a percentage is equal the increase/decrease in the value of a property or group of properties net of capital expenditure divided by the value of the investment properties including purchaser’s transaction costs, on a monthly basis (IPD methodology).

INREV NAV

INREV NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date, and adjusted for the spreading of costs that will benefit different generations of investors.

Investment property

Property that is fully operational on the reporting date

Investment property under construction

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property.

Lease incentive

Any consideration or expense borne by the property company, in order to secure a lease.

Net rental income divided by the gross capital value of the investment property including purchaser's transaction costs as per end of period.

Net rental income

Net rental income is gross rental income for the period less ground rents payable, service charge expenses and other non-recoverable property operating expenses such as insurance, real estate taxes, marketing and other vacant property costs.

Passing rent

The annualised cash rental income being received as at a certain date, excluding the net effects of straight-lining for lease incentives. For the avoidance of doubt, where no rent is currently being paid due to operation of a rent-free period, the passing rent will be shown as zero.

Payout ratio of distributable earnings

This is the distributed dividend in the reporting period divided by the distributable result in the reporting period.

Real Estate Expense Ratio (REER)

Annual vehicle-level and property-specific costs over a 12 month period as a proportion of average vehicle assets (average GAV and average NAV).
