Target Healthcare REIT (Target) continues to approach full investment, having completed the acquisitions of four care homes in the quarter to 31 March and one more in April. Portfolio value stood at £274.6m at the quarter-end (31 December: £253.1m). The Q217 dividend was the main cause of a slight decrease in EPRA NAV per share to 101.5p (31 December: 101.8p); we expect full dividend cover to be achieved in FY18 as the company becomes fully invested. The secular trends of an ageing population and a persistent lack of modern care homes create a significant opportunity for further investment to underpin the attractive dividend yield.
