In H116 MedicX Fund continued to selectively add assets, despite a highly competitive UK investment market, and it maintains a strong investment pipeline in both the UK and Republic of Ireland. Profit progression during the period was limited by the time between drawing on funding and income generation from investment; as this unwinds, earnings growth should pick up, supported by the new management fee structure. As a long-term investor in modern primary care properties in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the fund should benefit from growing demand to meet healthcare needs. Leases are long, substantially government backed, and funded by fixed rate debt (c 52% LTV) of similar duration, underpinning secure cash flows to support the 6.8% prospective yield.
