UK Commercial Property Trust - Sustainable income with reversionary upside

UK Commercial Property Trust (UKCM) is one of the largest UK real estate investment companies and aims to be among the lowest risk in the sector, reflected by its low level of gearing. The portfolio was repositioned in 2015 and UKCM has outperformed its benchmark since March 2016. In recent months, UKCM has moved underweight the weaker shopping centre subsector, as well as making its first hotel investment, which increased the proportion of RPI-linked and long-dated income to 15.2%. The manager sees significant reversionary potential for the portfolio, with its estimated rental value (ERV), based on market rents, indicating c20% upside to rental income, giving the prospect of near-term earnings growth and potentially providing scope for future dividend increases.
