Lothbury Investment Management Limited (Real Estate)

Corporate overview 

Lothbury Investment Management Limited (LIM) is a UK real estate investment manager, formed in 2010. Our strong and cohesive fund management team has worked together for nearly 20 years and has a track record of delivering outperformance for investors.

LIM manages unlisted property vehicles on behalf of institutional investors seeking indirect exposure to the UK. Our flagship fund is Lothbury Property Trust (LPT) and we also manage a segregated secure income portfolio for a UK pension fund. We offer an innovative solution to clients, through our core/active strategy. Our predominantly core portfolio of prime assets provides stable returns, while our active management initiatives create additional value and enhance returns.

Since LIM’s launch in June 2010, we have progressively grown our funds under management to £2.1bn. We have continued to attract new investors to our funds and significantly diversified our robust base of UK and overseas institutional clients, the majority of which are corporate and public sector pension funds. Our clients also include treasury investors, collective investment schemes, insurance companies and charities.

Investment principles & strategy 

We apply an innovative investment strategy across all of our funds, giving us a clear competitive advantage by helping our clients to achieve their investment targets with the lowest possible risk profile. We accomplish this through a core/active investment strategy, which is proven to deliver outperformance throughout the economic cycle. A core portfolio will make up 80–90% of a fund’s assets and is designed to achieve stable returns, combined with an active portfolio where the fund undertakes management initiatives to add value and enhance returns for investors. The core portfolio comprises prime, high-quality, well-located properties, secured with excellent tenant covenants on strong leases. We stringently screen ten¬ants and maintain maximum ceilings for single tenants. Low void levels demonstrate the high calibre of the property assets.

The active portfolio enhances our core assets by refurbishing or reconfiguring them, and also includes the development of new sites. This creates new assets with¬out any buying costs and provides development profit, further enhancing returns.

Our core/active investment strategy has produced an extremely impressive track record. Lothbury Property Trust has delivered 17 years of excellent performance against the AREF/IPD UK Quarterly Property Fund Index, All Balanced Quarterly Property Fund Index.  All of these returns have been delivered without recourse to gearing. Lothbury Property Trust remained open during the downturn, meeting all redemptions received without suspension or delay through its portfolio of liquid assets.
