3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 3 The last three years has seen an increase in both investor interest in real estate, and new vehicles created for investment across all four quadrants (Public/Private, Debt/Equity) However, we do not believe that there has been a commensurate level of research identifying the expected level of risk and returns from vehicles in each of the four quadrants, both on a comparative basis and specifically relative to an underlying real estate benchmark The purpose of this study, which is the first in a series on this topic, is to generate a series of returns for each quadrant with the returns in the direct market as a common factor This study will present the methodology employed and quantify the returns in each quadrant over identifiable stages of the cycle

4 BACKGROUND Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 4 The traditional valuation metrics within each segment make no reference to the valuation levels in any other segment We seek to ascertain whether there are linkages between the quadrant returns If so, analysts that monitor pricing trends in one quadrant may be able to predict future price movements in another This paper considers the first stage of the portfolio construction process This requires return series for each quadrant that removes the impacts of differences in vehicle asset allocation and manager alpha

5 BACKGROUND INTER-RELATIONSHIPS Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 5 Any real estate investment, regardless of the quadrant in which it falls, is exposed to tangible real estate assets as well as to other influences that are specific to each quadrant Each segment is influenced by its own particular set of pricing drivers, so each segment will relate in a varying manner to the trends in prices and income on the underlying private real estate market The outcomes in each of the four quadrants will also indirectly influence the direct market and, potentially, the other segments too

6 BACKGROUND CONSTRUCTING INDICES FOR THE FOUR QUADRANTS Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 6 This study generates comparable return series for each of the four quadrants from a single common factor to returns: the ungeared market return The ungeared market return represents the underlying real estate market return before the influence on vehicle returns of: 1. Leverage / LTV / Seniority 2. The activities associated with the operation of real estate investment vehicles Asset allocation / stock selection (alpha) / style Liquidity mechanism (closed / open ended, bid-offer spread, equity raising) Costs Cash We have not de-smoothed the market return

7 METHODOLOGY Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 7 This study focusses purely on the UK market, over the period 1992-2012 For consistency, we have taken the IPD All Property Index as a proxy for the returns available for the direct market In order to decompose returns and provide a framework for understanding the relationship between them we have then created synthetic across each of the four quadrants as follows: 1. Private Equity – applying a LTV proxy to the IPD ungeared returns, deduct costs and cash drag 2. Public Equity – applying the prevailing sector NAV discount / premium and a sector LTV proxy to the IPD ungeared returns 3. Private Debt - we have modelled the delinquencies using assumptions regarding movements in direct asset capital values and the interest received from estimates of fees and margins over swap rates. Marked-to-market the nominal debt using current lending costs. 4. Listed debt – As for private debt but marked-to-market the nominal debt using corporate bond yields For the actual returns we have taken the EPRA UK Total Return Index for listed real estate and the IPD AREF Pooled Funds Index for unlisted real estate.

8 METHODOLOGY Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 8 In order to better understand the performance of each of the quadrants at different stages of the cycle we have broken the twenty year period 1992-2012 into the following five style periods: End Sep 1992–End Mar 1998Interest led recovery End Mar 1998-End Mar 2002TMT Boom End Mar 2002-End Dec 2006The Bull Market End Dec 2006-End Mar 2009The Bear Market End Mar 2009-End March 2012QE Driven Rebound

15 MARKING-TO-MARKET QUADRANT THREE: PRIVATE DEBT Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 15 Q: How can / should the debt be marked-to-market each period? 1. Adjust loan value for changes in interest rates 2. Adjust loan value for changes in risk of the loan / Expected Loss No real data on margin versus LTV over time Approach taken: As LTV changes through time the appropriate margin is increased by 1bp per 1% of extra LTV. For example A 60% LTV = 1.0% margin A 70% LTV = 2.0% margin Example: Loan made in January 1990, Swap rate = 12.4% Loan Amount Collateral value LTV Swap RateMarginMark-to- market Jan '90£60£10060% 12.4%1.0%£60.0 Jan ’91£60£8769% 12.8%1.9%£54.7 Jan ’92£60£8174% 10.0%2.4%£64.7 Jan ’93£60£7481% 8.7%3.1%£67.9 Jan ‘94£60£8075% 6.7%2.5%£87.5

21 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Consilia Capital 2013 www.consiliacapital.com 21 The four quadrants are bound together by their common exposure to the underlying commercial real estate market Investors must make careful and continuous assessment of the prospects in the direct market when assessing the prospects for any individual quadrant When assessed independently, from two different perspectives, credit and equity analysts can reach different valuation judgements Investors that monitor all four quadrants are more likely to identify the investment opportunities that most closely match their investment requirements Once a quadrant is selected investors must then choose from a wide array of individual investment vehicles comprising the investible universe
