expected to be paid in December 2019.

Performance 
 
The property portfolio delivered an ungeared total return of 0.8 per cent over 
the quarter to September, ahead of the MSCI UK Monthly Property Index for 
standing investments which recorded 0.6 per cent. The capital value of the 
portfolio decreased by 0.4 per cent, versus a 0.7 per cent fall in the MSCI UK 
Monthly Property Index over the same period. 
 
Standard retail, 14.0 per cent of the portfolio by value, was again worst hit 
with capital value falls of 5.5 per cent from the regional assets and 2.1 per 
cent from the South East holdings. Inclusive of the Company's retail warehouse 
assets the value of the retail portfolio fell 1.7 per cent in aggregate. 
Investor sentiment remains particularly negative towards this sector, with 
continued poor news-flow from the occupier markets and transaction volumes 
depressed. 
 
The Office assets, which make up 26.8 per cent of the total portfolio increased 
in value by 0.5 per cent over the quarter driven by strong relative returns 
from the regional properties, supported by a robust return from the central 
London assets. 
 
Values were flat for the Industrials which comprise just over 40 per cent of 
the portfolio. There are additional opportunities to enhance the income profile 
of the industrial portfolio and further asset management initiatives are 
underway. 
 
Occupational demand for the Company's property remains encouraging with a 
portfolio vacancy of 2.0 per cent. The vacancy itself is largely the result of 
a new value-add initiative linked to the refurbishment of an office building in 
Chelmsford where half of the accommodation has already been pre-let to the 
Secretary of State. The average weighted unexpired lease term is 6 years.
