Greetings IGW REIT Member-Partners,
I am pleased to announce that the unit value for League's IGW REIT has increased this past quarter by .021 cents to a new value of $1.104 per unit. This puts us well on target to achieve the goals we set for the year.
All new subscriptions will be based on this new unit value - until the next re-valuation on August 1st.
The annualized return since the REIT's inception is 16.62%, which includes your cash distribution plus an 10.4% increase in the unit value since inception.
Because the commencement dates for some new leases will not occur until later this year, the amount distributed per unit remains unchanged for now at 10.05 cents per unit per annum. When new rents are available for distribution, this amount will increase.
To review how the revaluations are performed, please review the Frequently Asked Questions section of the current Investment Overview available in the Members Area of League's website.
How the Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated
As you know from our previous re-valuation, we consulted with our accounting and valuation specialists to confirm that our formula for calculating the new equity value was appropriate, and that it followed Canadian GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
The NAV will continue to be calculated as it always has, as follows:
NAV = (the total book value or last appraised value of all properties) - (the discounted present value of League's incentive management fee) - (discounted present value of real estate sales commission*) + (The net book value of the short-term assets and the short-term and long-term liabilities)
*Sales commission refers to fees paid to real estate brokers in the event of the disposition of an asset, and assumes a 10% portfolio turn-over annually
You can read more about how the Net Asset Value is calculated and certified here.
Reminder: Regular Quarterly Re-Valuations
New unit values are announced May 1, August 1, November 1, and February 1. This means you can expect to see regular increases in unit value on these dates (assuming there is at least one property to re-appraise each period). Prior to each re-valuation we will give advance notice so you can better time future investment purchases. We hope you'll tell your friends.
Best regards,
Emanuel.
