Investment strategy

With 28 years experience of investing into the highly fragmented and constantly evolving European real estate market, Rockspring is uniquely placed to help investors identify and capitalise on new opportunities. While our acquisition activities are largely guided by the unique strategies and risk profiles of each of our funds, all of our activities share an 'income and growth' investment strategy based on the following principles:

Buying for 'income and growth'

  • Income component is highly persistent and a significant proportion of total return expectation
  • The long-term compound effect
  • Development only where income returns accretive to portfolio yield on completion

Managing for performance

  • Real estate is highly responsive to active management
  • Each asset has an individual business plan
  • Cash component of total return highly persistent

Timely sales to capture growth

  • Quarterly check against each 'business plan'
  • Annual look-forward IRR prognosis
  • Annual hold/sell discipline

Research-aided, empirically supported investment strategies
