Schroder Global Real Estate Securities (SGRE) is an actively managed closed-ended fund providing exposure to global real estate through investing in a concentrated but diverse portfolio of listed securities. Following the appointment of Schroders as investment manager in July 2014, a total return strategy was adopted, the portfolio repositioned and the dividend re-based to a sustainable level. Subsequent performance has been ahead of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed index and one-year performance is comparable to open-ended peers. The manager follows a disciplined approach, focusing on higher-quality assets, aiming to maintain a portfolio resilient to changes in the economic environment and capable of delivering sustainable returns over the long term.
