  • In summary, if interest rates continue to rise, Custodian REIT is well insulated from the short to medium-term impact.
  • Occupational demand is reducing vacancy rates and driving rental growth, both of which are strongly supportive of earnings and underpin the Companys dividend strategy.
  • We still see value in the market as recent acquisitions demonstrate and the ongoing intensive asset management of the portfolio will maintain cash flow and support values.
