Company Report

Centuria Capital Is, Reassuringly, Still Attracting Assets Despite Commercial Property Ructions

Centuria Capital Group’s vision is to be a leading Australasian fund manager, an appropriate goal given the expertise in the business. Growth areas include alternative sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and real estate credit, versus its history in core property sectors such as office and industrial. Even in its core property investments, Centuria has focused on smaller properties, or those outside the Sydney and Melbourne CBDs. Centuria Office REIT, one of its largest investment vehicles, holds much more suburban office, compared with office heavyweights Dexus, GPT, and Charter Hall which focus on CBDs. Centuria’s focus outside CBDs should be an advantage as the group diversifies into alternative property sectors, as the business should be well versed in evaluating the more esoteric risk and return profiles of assets in healthcare, agriculture, and other varying sectors.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Only a modest amount of FUM is eligible for redemption each year, which makes it unlikely that Centuria will face outflows at the devastating pace that some equity fund managers have experienced.

Bears

One third of Centuria’s FUM is in single-asset funds, which may be at higher risk of redemptions and wind-ups. Some underlying funds carry high debt levels.

Company Profile

Centuria Capital Group runs retail, wholesale, and institutional property investments. Assets are roughly one third each in office, industrial, and another third in retail, healthcare, agricultural property, and real estate finance. About one third of FUM is in listed REITs, a third in unlisted wholesale funds, and nearly another third in unlisted retail funds and a small amount in institutional vehicles. The group’s AUD 21 billion in FUM grew rapidly from less than AUD 5 billion in FUM in 2018. Acquisitions of Augusta Capital, 360 Capital, PrimeWest, and others supercharged FUM growth. Centuria’s main revenue sources are management fees on its funds, development profits, and rental income from co-investments in its funds. Centuria is the largest securityholder in its listed REITs.
