Risk-return profile
Key factors which play an important role with regard to the risk-return profile of the portfolio are:
Asset (e.g. maintenance and age of constructions and FF&E, look and feel)
Market (e.g. market purity, competitiveness, market position, regional economic development en prognosis)
Brand (e.g. distribution mix, top/bottom-line results, volatility of profit and rental guarantees)
These indicators form the foundation of the risk-return model, which is the basis for acquisitions and annual hold/ sell analyses.
Acquisitions
The Fund examined a wide range of potential new investments in 2015, and this led to one transaction in 2015:
We signed a € 23.8 million turnkey purchase agreement for Amsteltower Hotel in Amsterdam (three-star segment, 186 rooms) with seller Provast. We have also signed a long-term lease (25 years) with a fixed rent with tenant Meininger. Completion of the hotel is expected in Q4 2017 and forward funding started in Q4 2015.
Divestments
No divestments were planned for 2015 and none were executed.
