Unit-Linked Life Insurance

LPI Income Property Fund

Fund aim

To provide an income stream that rises annually in line with LPI (RPI between 0% and 5%).

Fund characteristics

The fund invests in freehold and leasehold property in the UK with a view to securing long let, secure income streams. It does so by focusing on high quality real estate, often newly developed, let to low risk tenants (including the UK Government and investment grade corporates).
The return profile is expected to be less volatile than traditional UK property and be more defensive in weaker market conditions. The fund aims to achieve a significant yield premium over index-linked gilts.
In some cases the fund will invest in income strips where the tenant has the option to buy back the freehold from the fund on lease expiry for a nominal amount. The fund does not engage in higher risk activities for example development of unlet property or gearing on directly held assets.
