Equiti has a focus on selective, value-based investing and employs a top down macroeconomic approach and a bottom up microeconomic approach to the identification and acquisition of property assets.
Macroeconomic Approach – The top down macroeconomic approach helps us to identify and select specific property markets and sectors that are likely to offer the best economic performance. This approach includes monitoring population growth, economic development, unemployment, government policies in relation to housing approvals, rezoning, infrastructure development and land releases. The aim is to identify areas which exhibit favourable trends in supply and demand characteristics.
Microeconomic Process – The bottom up microeconomic process focuses on specific property development analysis and helps us to identify those individual property development assets that will best enable each fund to achieve its investment objectives within the geographical areas identified in the macroeconomic top down approach.
Due Diligence Process – A rigorous due diligence process is employed by Equiti Capital Limited and, combined with the support of the Investment Review Committee, ensures a strategic and quantitative approach to the selection of suitable property and that each asset selected fits within the risk profile and investment objectives of the fund.
- Danny H Assabgy, CEO
