Commercial property investment trusts stand out as one of the most attractive sources of income in the market today, according to Philip Matthews, co-manager of the TB Wise Multi-Asset Income Fund.
While investors continue to avoid open-ended property funds owing to liquidity concerns, Matthews said the yield on offer within UK commercial property investment trusts makes them an appealing source of income, after what has been a tough year for the sector.
“Despite entering the covid crisis on depressed share prices following three years of uncertainty post the Brexit vote, the impact of covid has seen the net asset values (NAV) of many quoted property companies reduced by valuers in the face of material uncertainty over the sector’s outlook,” he said.
