SKAGEN m 2 Statusrapport juni 2015

SKAGEN m 2 Statusrapport juni 2015

Hovedtrekk juni 2015 SKAGEN m2 var ned 4,5 prosent i juni, mens MSCI sin eiendomsindeks var ned 3,3 prosent. Måneden var volatil som følge av de pågående forhandlingene om Hellas og korreksjonen ble forsterket mot slutten av måneden. Vi solgte oss ut av 2 selskaper i juni. Det amerikanske boligbyggerselskapet, Hovnanian, ble solgt etter nok et skuffende kvartal. Vi solgte oss også ut av General Shopping pga. valutagjeld de ikke klarer å håndtere. Vi frykter at de vil være nødt til å selge eiendommer på en måte som ikke er bærekraftig for å kunne betale renter og kommende låneforfall. Shimao Property ble solgt siden vi ikke lenger tror at de kan levere på våre triggere innen en fornuftig tidsramme. Vi har også vært bekymret for den ekstreme oppgangen i aksjemarkedet i Kina som kan ha smitteeffekt på Hong Kong noterte selskaper som Shimao. De beste bidragsyterne i juni var våre to spanske selskaper, Melia Hote og Axia. Melia kom med gode resultater i mai og fortsatte oppgangen i juni, mens Axia hadde en liten gjenhenting etter en aksjeutvidelse som doblet selskapets market cap. De svakeste bidragsyterne i juni var vårt greske innehav, Grivalia som følge av de pågående forhandlingene og en mulig Grexit. Bekasi Fajar var ned også i juni, hovedsakelig som følge av den negative salgs guidance de annonserte for hele 2015. I tillegg har den pågående skatteimplementeringen av luksusboliger påvirket hele det indonesiske eiendomsmarkedet negativt. Men Bekasi Fajar er ikke påvirket av de nye skattelovene. Det beste markedet i juni var Sør Afrika. De svakeste markedene var India og Indonesia. De 10 største postene er nå 38 prosent av porteføljen. SKAGEN m 2 består nå av 51 poster og har 1 prosent i kontanter. * Med mindre annet er oppgitt er alle avkastningstall for fondet i denne rapporten knyttet til klasse A, og etter fradrag for gebyrer. 2

Vi brukte denne muligheten til å øke våre beholdning. Spekulasjoner rundt oppkjøp av en portefølje i USA dro ned aksjen. Investorer er generelt fokusert på vekst i Kina og ønsker å bruke kapital i Asia i stedet for i USA. Vi tror det kan være en god ide å øke eksponeringen mot USA for diversifisering. Generell volatilitet i USA. Selskapet kom med negativ guidance for salg hele året 2015. På toppen av dette er nye skatteregler negativt for indonesisk eiendom innen luksussegmentet (5 prosent skatt ved kjøp, men vil bli implementert sammen med mer fordelaktige låneregler) som ikke har påvirket selskapet, men som har vært negativt for alle eiendomsaksjer. Pågående oppkjøp av Adler Real Estate og over 95 prosent av aksjonærene I Westgrund har godkjent sammenslåingen. Det har vært tekniske bevegelser I aksjen siden budet er en kombinasjon av aksjer og kontanter. Også påvirket av frykt for Grexit. Bare gode nyheter. Økte renter vil vanligvis påvirke aksjer negativt. 9 Note: Bidrag til absolutt avkastning

Key earnings releases and corporate news Aimco, US (3.2%) Strong Results above expectations, creating significant share price appreciation. Summary: Aimco provided results above expectations which led to a significant jump in share price. The company is almost at the end of its repositioning process and has become a socially accepted company with low debt (but still higher than peers) and improved quality of residential (two acquisitions of A-quality, and disposal of affordable housing). The company has been repriced since the launch of SKAGEN m2, but still trades below peers. They continue to improve free cash flow. Their high interest level debt is maturing and this will mean further improved cash flow going forward. Implications for the investment case: The company has acted in accordance with its statement, but has not been repriced accordingly. As it offers healthy residential exposure in the US with sensible cash flow, we choose to keep it in the portfolio. BR Properties, Brazil (1.4%) Q1 results in line with expectations. Battle for company overshadows results. Summary: BR Properties, which owns some of the best offices in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, announced results while fighting a bad bid from the main shareholders. The result was in line with expectations. The increased vacancy is due to weak markets and increased cost percentage due to disposal. However, it is important to focus on the extremely cheap assets that this company owns. This has resulted in bids and some bad proposals regarding the future of the company. Implications for the investment case: We will buy this company as long as no corporate governance issue appears. However, there is a battle to acquire this high quality company. We hope that the main shareholder will work in the best interests of all shareholders. The main hope is that the focus on Brazilian corporate governance issues will improve behaviour and that the company can survive on its own. Ashford Hospitality Trust, US (3.6%) Bought 4 hotels for USD 220m and intends to sell 23 select services hotels. Summary: Ashford announced that they bought 4 new hotels in June and that they intend to sell 23 hotels in the select service segment. They also stated their intention to increase analyst activity to ensure that they are up to date with their analysis. Implications for the investment case: The company is trading at a significant discount to NAV, but the external management agreement has a negative value to be included. The company is obviously under-researched. Only 3 analysts are up to date. Undervalued; yes, due to external management fees. Unpopular; Too much debt, but the secured non-recourse model is not widely understood. 15

Key earnings releases and corporate news (cont.) British Land, UK (2.6%) Issued convertible bond at 0% interest, 27.5% above trading share price Summary: British Land issued a 5-year senior convertible bond with 0% coupon and conversion price that was 27.5% above trading price. NAV is slightly above GBP 8. The proceeds will be used to develop 1 Sheldon Square. Implications for the investment case: British Land is decreasing its cost of capital to an extremely low level.. Gecina, France (1.3%) Acquired two offices in Paris CBD. Summary: The acquisition is quite substantial, approximately 12% of EV, but they stressed that they will use loan and credit lines in the medium term and proceeds from the sales in the long term. The company is trading at a premium to NAV, and it will obviously be tempting to issue equity for financing purposes. Implications for the investment case: Gecina increased their leverage after having reduced the level over the last two years, and increased guidance for 2015. The share may be hurt by the uncertainty regarding the equity issue that they stressed they don t need. However, most companies want cheap money and the question is whether this uncertainty will remain an issue for some time. Hovnanian, US (0%) 2Q15 (Feb-April) result was a big disappointment Summary: Hovnanian, the US homebuilder, provided a weak result with a substantial decline in gross margin (before interest and GA) from 20% to 16%. The result was in line with 08/09 and a big disappointment. The company promised much better results in the coming two quarters and may be 0 for the year. However, the results confirmed that homebuilders as a group are not able to increase their prices in line with cost increases after firing almost 70% of workers following the financial crisis. Implications for the investment case: This will cause a decline in cash flow and the investment thesis was based on recovery that they are not able to achieve. Due to the high debt level and upcoming debt maturities, the investment case has become significantly weaker and may no longer be sustainable. We sold out. 16
