Net Asset Value
Net Asset Value
The unaudited net asset value (‘NAV’) per share of the Group as
at 30 June 2017 was 139.4 pence. This represents an increase of 1.5
per cent from the unaudited NAV per share as at 31 March 2017 of 137.4
pence and a NAV total return for the quarter of 2.5 per
cent.
The NAV has been calculated under International Financial
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). It is based on the external valuation
of the Group’s direct property portfolio prepared by CBRE
Limited.
The NAV includes all income to 30 June
2017 and is calculated after deduction of all dividends paid
prior to that date. As at 30 June
2017, no adjustments were required to the NAV in respect of
dividends for which the share price had gone ex-dividend.
Share Price
The share price was 145.3 pence
per share at 30 June 2017, which
represented a premium of 3.9 per cent to the NAV per share
announced above. The share price total return for the quarter was
1.4 per cent.

Performance
The capital value growth of 1.4% over the quarter compares
favourably with the IPD Monthly Index, which recorded capital value
growth of 1.1% over the same period.
The major drivers of performance over the quarter related to a
9% increase in the value of Cassini House, London W1, which is attributable to the
completion of a new lease with the office’s major tenant and an
agreed refurbishment programme. The valuation of St. Christopher’s
Place Estate increased in value by 3.5%, reflecting the completion
of the development at 75 Wigmore Street and a number of new
lettings.
