Quarterly Client Update

Update as at and for the quarter ending 30 September 2024

Booster Investment Scheme 2

Investment outlook

Returns to the Private Land and Property

Fund (Fund) were 0.4% (after fees, pre-tax) for

the quarter. This was driven by income and

development gains (+0.97%) partially offset by

valuation movements (-0.57%). The valuation

movement was informed by two independent

valuations we received over the quarter for

the Fund’s Southland dairy farms (+$2.3m)

and its investment in Waimea West Hops

(-$3.7m). Investors can refer to the Fund’s

NZX disclosures for more details

www.nzx.com/companies/PLP/

announcements.

Returns to the fund have been 6.7% on an

annualised basis over the three year period

to 30 September 2024, and 9.0%p.a. since

inception.

The Fund aims to generate an average long-

term return of 6.5%p.a. after fees but before

tax over a rolling 7yr period. The Fund’s

key focus is on returns from income and

development gains as properties reach full

productive capability. Other returns to the

Fund can arise from property revaluations.

Overall, we remain pleased with the long term

performance of the fund, in particular with

how the portfolio has performed through the

top of the interest rate cycle.

Spotlight on Industrial Property:

Iport Drive, Rolleston

During the quarter we confirmed the Fund’s latest

acquisition, the purchase of a large prime industrial

building integrated with the Midland Inland Port in

Rolleston, Christchurch.

Our tenant is Lyttelton Port Company (LPC) which

is fully owned by Christchurch City Council. In

turn, LPC have sub-leased the warehouse to NZX-

listed freight company Move Logistics.

This purchase represents an exciting addition for

the Fund and supplements our core horticultural/

agricultural focus with further diversification

benefits. As we have previously noted, investments

in property outside of our core horticultural and

agricultural focus are actively considered where the

risk/return proposition is attractive.

At 31% of the value of the overall fund at 30

September, this is a significant acquisition that

will add value immediately in two ways; we think

that the additional diversification will reduce the

volatility of fund returns. Secondly, the cash return

from the fixed lease is accretive to the cash yield

component of the fund.

It’s important to note that property values do vary

over time, though a longer-term perspective is

important. The Fund’s investment objective remains

focused on producing returns over a 7-year rolling

period which allows for ‘peaks’ and ‘troughs’ in the

business and investment cycle.

As well as this opportunity, we continue to actively

explore opportunities to broaden and diversify the

portfolio and support its objectives.

Gearing Ratio1.5

The investment objective and strategy of the Wholesale Portfolio allows it to borrow

to invest in more land and properties or to develop land and properties it already

holds. Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) has provided a loan facility of up to 50% of

the value of the secured properties for use by the Wholesale Portfolio to effect its

gearing strategy which results in BNZ holding a security interest over most of the

assets held by the Wholesale Portfolio. For further information on the Wholesale

Portfolio, please refer to the Fund’s PDS and Other Material Information document.

The gearing ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has

undertaken as a percentage of total assets.
