MARKET UNCERTAINTY AND STRATEGIC POSITIONING
This is an update due to the market uncertainty relating to Covid-19 (Coronavirus). The following key points
underpin Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc’s ("SEREIT"/ the "Company" / "Group") defensive
position during this period of uncertainty:
• Diversified: The SEREIT portfolio comprises 13 assets and approximately 100 tenants across multiple
countries, winning cities and sectors, with a broad spread of lease expiries.
• Stable balance sheet: Loan to value of c. 30% LTV as at 31 December 2019 is within the target range with
no loan maturities until 2023.
• Office / industrial / mixed use data centre exposure : c.75% of the portfolio invested in business space
assets in cities such as Paris, Stuttgart and Hamburg. These assets are let at affordable rents to tenants
across a range of industries and located in winning cities and regions with diverse economies.
• Limited retail exposure: Retail represents c. 25% of the portfolio of which 15% is invested in a Lidl
supermarket in Frankfurt and a Hornbach DIY unit in Berlin let for c. 5 and 6 years respectively. The
Metromar Shopping Centre in Seville represents 10% of the portfolio value.
• Local market presence: Schroders local market presence brings us closer to our tenants, to understand
how each of them will be impacted, what support we can provide and the potential effects on the portfolio.
The Manager continues to be focused on active management to improve the defensive characteristics of the
portfolio. The Company remains an attractive and differentiated long term investment proposition given its
underlying diversification and exposure to those winning cities and regions in Continental Europe.
