Dividend up, vacancy down

Regional REIT (RGL) issued a trading update on 25 May providing portfolio statistics and declared a dividend of 1.8p for Q117 and then announced a major new letting on 30 May. Management has continued to reduce tenant concentration and has further rebalanced the portfolio towards offices and away from Scotland, in line with the intentions stated when it listed in November 2015. Regional economies remain robust, supporting occupier demand, while investment in new buildings is still subdued, constraining supply. RGL offers an attractive dividend supported by a growing portfolio of high-yielding assets in markets that may be more resilient to macroeconomic headwinds than London real estate.
