Brandeaux Student
Accommodation Fund is now in its 8th successful year and has well
exceeded its target rate of return of 8% to 10% over the last twelve
months.
Brandeaux was a pioneer in providing private student accommodation in
the late 1990s,and as one of the largest investors in this sector
benefits from economies of scale.
Brandeaux has built a well balanced national portfolio covering 13
cities in the top 20 university markets with 10,000 beds in 30 purpose
built residences, mainly at the premium end of the market. 54% of total
rents are secured under university nomination agreements which ensure
continuing high occupancy.The portfolio is marketed and managed under
the Liberty Living brand name, which is exclusive to Brandeaux Funds.
Fund Objective
• To deliver consistent
annualised positive returns of 8% to 10% while maintaining a profile of
low volatility performance.
• To invest in student and key worker accommodation throughout the UK.
• To provide investors with access to an actively managed Fund holding
assets with little correlation to traditional asset classes.
• To provide long term positive returns through a combination of secure
income and capital appreciation arising from increasing rental values.
Investment Strategy
The demand for student accommodation is driven by the continuing
increase in the number of students in higher education and the
attraction of the UK as a leading destination for international
students. Sector growth, and thus Fund performance, is not correlated to
the UK economic cycle or to the general UK residential property market.
• Annual rent increases.
• Bad debts low - typically under 1%.
• Occupancy high - typically 98%.
• Contracts either with the university or direct-let to students.
• Increasing number of overseas students;many demand premium
accommodation.
• In most UK cities, demand for quality student accommodation far
exceeds supply.
