Retail woes extending beyond the property sector and into financial markets
Some commentators had anticipated that persisting retail sector challenges might disrupt more than the make-up of the high street or commercial property negotiations between landlords and tenants.
Some commentators that persisting retail sector challenges might disrupt more than the make-up of the high street or commercial property negotiations between landlords and tenants.
The suspension of the M&G property fund on Wednesday provided the clearest sign of property market concerns affecting the wider financial markets. The 拢2.5 billion fund has already shrunk approximately 拢1 billion this year and the suspension comes following difficulties in selling properties quickly enough to meet investors鈥 demands to access their money. The fund Brexit uncertainty and refers to decreasing performance in the retail sector, stating that 鈥渢he value of certain retail properties has declined as retailers continue to adjust their business models in response to changing shopping habits and rising costs.鈥
This has from Gina Miller regarding the FCA鈥檚 role in protecting investors following the recent collapse of Woodford Investment Management; this is a topic in itself. Commentators and fund managers are also that most investors will understand that property is more illiquid than most investments, and numerous funds are more varied; the M&G fund is particularly exposed with retail property comprising up to 36.4% of its assets.
This development does, however, provide a useful reminder of the factors which affect the bottom line of each party to a property negotiation. It鈥檚 not just about landlords and tenants, but also investors and consumers.
