Impacted by discretionary retail weakness. - Charter Hall Long WALE REIT (CLW): -0.92%

- Top Holdings: VCX (7.23%), NSR (6.61%), SCG (6.55%), GPT (5.41%), CIP (5.24%)
Outlook
The macro backdrop remains mixed, with sticky inflation and delayed rate cuts tempering optimism. However, the portfolio remains well-positioned through selective exposure to daily-needs retail, long-WALE assets, and specialised REITs with pricing power. We remain patient, with dry powder available to deploy into any dislocations.
We continue to favour quality names with strong operating metrics, low gearing, and exposure to structural growth sectors such as data centres and logistics.
Global Property Portfolio (AUD) April 2025
Portfolio Performance
The global REIT portfolio returned -0.93% in April 2025. Volatility in interest rate expectations and persistent inflationary signals in key markets such as the U.S. and Europe kept property valuations under pressure.
Despite this, the income return component remained consistent, with a 12-month rolling dividend yield of 4.87%, highlighting the income-generating strength of the portfolio in turbulent equity conditions.
Geographic & Sector Allocation
- The portfolio remained heavily weighted to the U.S. (70%), with additional exposure to Japan, UK, Singapore, and Europe.

- The portfolio’s exposure to multi-family residential and self-storage also offered downside protection.

Outlook
As central banks remain data-dependent, property yields remain an attractive alternative to government bonds. With high levels of diversification and a clear tilt toward secular growth sectors, the global REIT portfolio is well-positioned to deliver a combination of stable income and capital preservation. Currency hedging remains a prudent risk-management tool, given potential volatility in AUD/USD.
