Property Unit Trusts in the UK

Property unit trust revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 9.1% over the five years through 2022-23. Regulations under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II have inflated the costs because of additional tax now charged on research. The pandemic damaged property unit trusts as retail and commercial heavy portfolios faced lower rental income from struggling retailers and businesses with less need for office space.

This industry comprises property unit trusts, which have an open-ended share capital structure where units can be bought and sold directly through the fund manager. Property unit trusts hold, maintain and manage property portfolios for investment purposes. Open-ended investment companies investing primarily in property are also included. Other types of unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are excluded from the industry. Real estate investment trusts are also not included.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
