Target Healthcare REIT is a specialist investor in modern, purpose built residential care homes, the demand for which is rising, driven by structural demographic changes throughout the UK. The manager selects modern, purpose-built assets suited to their local area and population. The assets are acquired at yields of c 7% and let on long leases (c 30 years) to high quality operators, with regular contact to ensure they are well-run. These long and secure income streams underpin a growing dividend yielding c 6% which, on our estimates, will be 100% covered once the group is fully invested, expected by the end of FY18.
