Saizen REIT: Sell the entire portfolio or find a larger partner.
Sunday, September 28, 2014
One of my more successful investments in the last few years is probably in Saizen REIT and regular readers who have followed the story would be quite familiar with it. So, I shan't repeat the narrative.
In the past issue of The EDGE, it was reported that a major investor in Saizen REIT is unhappy with the lack of growth in the REIT. Well, actually, the fact that Argyle Street Management (ASM) is unhappy isn't anything new and I blogged about my view in November last year.
Now, the CIO of ASM is suggesting that "we either sell the entire portfolio or find a much larger partner." There is quite a bit of frustration but it is probably justifiable.
This is because Saizen REIT's NAV/unit is $1.22 and it is trading at around 90c a unit. If all the REIT's properties were to be sold at valuation, shareholders would receive $1.22 a unit or a 35% gain from the current market price. So, if there should be a willing buyer, selling the entire portfolio at valuation makes sense.
In fact, I am inclined to believe that Saizen REIT's properties are worth much more since they managed to sell a property in May at 19% above book value and another one in August at 12.8% above book value. This suggests that the book values of the REIT's properties are rather conservative.
The REIT's NAV could be about $1.35 to $1.40 per unit. This means a potential capital gain of 50% to 55.5%. It is, however, I believe, harder to find a buyer for the entire portfolio at such high prices.
Well, whether or not the current managers of Saizen REIT are replaced, for me, is less important than how my investment in the REIT could be impacted.
I have examined before the sustainability of the current day DPU and, if I remember correctly, I said it should be sustainable for the next 8 years. Could we see the Japanese economy and currency strengthen in the next 8 years? I don't know but I do know that there is enough resources to maintain the current level of distributions for a few more years. Beyond that, I expect DPU to reduce, everything else remaining equal.
A DPU of 6.3c translates to a distribution yield of about 7% at a unit price of 90c. If I should be paid $1.22 per unit for my investment in the REIT, I would liken it to collecting many years of income distributions in advance which is not a bad thing. A bird in hand is worth two in the bushes, as the saying goes.
So, am I going to increase my exposure to the REIT? No. Why? Isn't it a good investment for income? I believe it is but my exposure to the REIT is already quite large and I estimate it to be some 12% or 13% of my entire portfolio. My only other two investments which are bigger are AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT and First REIT. I don't see any need to increase the weighting of any of these REITs in my portfolio.
What if I did not have any exposure? Well, if I should be happy being paid a 7% distribution yield buying into rather undervalued freehold Japanese residential real estate, I might initiate a long position. Then, all that is left for me to do is to wait.
