Fortress REIT | Appendix: From order comes chaos

The sum of FFA and FFB shares outstanding (or a proportional investment in FFA and FFB shares) will deliver the same risk and return characteristics as a theoretical single ordinary share class structure would. Thus, the combined market cap of FFA and FFB shares outstanding must be treated as equivalent to a single share class structure for valuation purposes.

We thus believe that, rather than being independently valued, the fair price attributable to FFB shares is an explicit function of the market price of FFA shares. All else constant, the value attributable to FFB shares declines by 54.5c for every 50c increase in the price of FFA (determined by the ratio of shares outstanding). Variability in the relationship between FFA and FFB units can only be explained by growth or contraction in Group-level NAV or changes in the fair Group-level P/NAV multiple.
