Update: Growing secure cash flow

The 7.2% prospective yield on MedicX shares is supported by secure cash flows on a broad portfolio of modern primary care properties, on long leases, with quasi government backing. Debt is currently fixed at c 4.5% with similarly long duration. FY14 saw new equity of £48m invested, and more; we forecast further asset growth in FY15 and beyond, with some modest re-gearing from a low c 50%. Growth prospects for the primary care sector are strong and, despite some yield compression, the spread over funding costs remains attractive.
