This is a financial promotion for The First Sentier Global Property Securities Strategy. This information is for investors in the UK and elsewhere where lawful. Investing involves certain risks including:
- The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may get back significantly less than the original amount invested.
- Currency risk: Changes in exchange rates will affect the value of assets which are denominated in other currencies.
- Single sector risk: Investing in a single sector may be riskier than investing in a number of different sectors. Investing in a larger number of sectors helps spread risk.
- Single country / specific region risk: Investing in a single country or specific region may be riskier than investing in a number of different countries or regions. Investing in a larger number of countries or regions helps spread risk.
- Charges to capital risk: The fees and expenses may be charged against the capital property. Deducting expenses from capital reduces the potential for capital growth.
- Property securities risk: Investments are made in the shares of companies that are involved in property (like real estate investment trusts) rather than property itself. The value of these investments may fluctuate more than actual property.
- Emerging market risk: Emerging markets may not provide the same level of investor protection as a developed market; they may involve a higher risk than investing in developed markets.

Global property opportunities are built on solid ESG foundations
Affirming our intention to implement net zero1 in our investment portfolio has further deepened our understanding of the global property securities sector we invest in. Our continuous focus on in-depth, in-house research means we can see things differently, which has led to discoveries into new risks and opportunities. We always focus on preserving the money of your investment, with a preference for allocating your investment to well managed assets in high barrier to entry markets in many of the world’s most dynamic cities.
Data centres - tapping internet growth via listed property
Investing in listed property companies that own data centres - the specialist buildings which house the infrastructure required to power modern internet usage – gives investors access to one of the greatest structural shifts in the property sector of our time.
Reliable data centres are expensive to build which means that the supply of new centres is well controlled. A turn-key data centre4 in the US can cost twice as much as an office tower to build.
This cost reflects the highly specified plant and equipment required for the data centre to have virtually no risk of down time in operations.
Data centres have a wide range of business models appealing to a diverse range of customers - from governments to telecommunication companies to vast internet-centric firms.
With the industry’s high rate of adoption of the internet, together with the large growth in cloud computing, data centres with the right business model can deliver high cash flows well into the future.
