FUND MANAGERS
KEILLEN NDLOVUBCom(Hons), CAIB(SA), Treasury and International Keillen manages the largest, most successful listed property fund in South Africa (the STANLIB Listed Property Fund), with assets under management of R28billion for institutional and retail clients (as at June 2015). After beginning his property career with Standard Bank Properties in 2004, Keillen transferred to STANLIB in 2005 as a Listed Property Analyst. On successfully assuming increased responsibilities and fund management exposure, he was appointed Head of STANLIB’s Listed Property Franchise in 2010, after becoming a full-time fund manager in 2008. The Listed Property team has won numerous awards over the past decade, and under his tenure has expanded its listed property offering from South Africa to the rest of Africa, Emerging Markets and Developed Markets
FUND COMMENTARY
As evidenced in the second quarter of 2017 and reflective of weaker South African growth dynamics, the preference of investors in quarter 3 for offshore exposure that offered increased defensiveness to a weakening South African environment. Listed property delivered 5.74% for the quarter, outperforming local cash and bonds and underperforming local equities. Overweight positions in MAS Real Estate and Sirus Real Estate contributed to performance of the fund. MAS continues to be a core holding and a strong performer in the portfolio, while Sirius Real Estate continues to offer defensive exposure to the German property market. The top detractors from performance were the underweight position in Greenbay and the overweight position in SA Corporate Real Estate Fund. Exposure to Greenbay is held indirectly through exposure to Resilient and Fortress, while SA Corporate’s outlook statement remained reasonable, but did not surprise positively. The manager has increased exposure to Greenbay, MAS Real Estate, Sirius and Echo Polska Properties in the past 6 months. Company results reported during the quarter continued to show that the local economic environment remains challenging, rental growth in SA remains under pressure, with rental negotiations becoming increasingly difficult. Results from companies with material offshore portfolios did not disappoint expectations. Looking ahead, the manager expects some South African companies with significant offshore exposure to increase their growth in Rand terms over the next 12 months. The manager also anticipates a 7% distribution growth for the sector's dividend paying companies with largely South African property portfolios. The manager remains well-positioned for this eventuality and has positioned the fund's SA property exposure towards SA property companies with both defensive South African and offshore property portfolios.
