The portfolio

SCREF is focused on enhancing its alternative asset exposure.  In 2017, the Fund acquired its own self-storage company, with five assets located around London and the M25.  We recognise the opportunity created by structural demographic shifts, including changing housing occupancy patterns, and our early entry into the self-storage market means the Fund is well-placed to capitalise on the expected growth within the sector.

SCREF’s investment focus in the industrial and logistics space is on identifying well located, multi-let estates that offer strong rental growth prospects and are well positioned to adapt to change, including demographic shifts, the growth of new technologies, and growing demand for assets with high sustainability credentials.  Located in London, Acorn Industrial Park provides last-mile logistics capabilities, and stands to benefit from the growth of e-commerce generating tenant demand for high-quality and well-located assets.
