Case study
Our client is a Nairobi based business man who had
accumulated wealth during his 40 year business career
in petrol and tyre retailing. He had significant Real
Estate holdings in Kenya, Canada and the
United States.
He approached Aprirose in 1989 with £1m to build a
UK real estate portfolio for him. This was invested into a
portfolio of single let buildings with a weighted average
lease length of some 15 years and geared
to 60%.
This was managed through the recession and high
interest rates of the early 90’s by a mixture of fixing
interest rates, careful acquisition strategy and actively
managing the assets.
aiming higher… exceeding expectations
As this case study shows, we are experts at identifying and
realising potential. We create true value through well judged
selection, meticulous due diligence, robust negotiation and
proactive asset management.
Our client continued to add further funds to the
surpluses generated by his portfolio and built up a
portfolio of property worth £5m by 1995.
After various asset management initiatives, refinancing
and the reinvestment of surpluses, the portfolio is
now worth some £25m with borrowing against it of
some £12m.
Furthermore, our client has over time withdrawn
£3m of equity for investment in various
Aprirose syndicates.
Today, the combined value of our client’s portfolio and
investments in Aprirose syndicates is approximately
£75m and his initial equity has generated an
average internal rate of return of approximately 14%
compounded every year for the last 20 years.
