Profile
Kempen European Property Fund N.V. (KEPF) has the objective to achieve strong relative investment results by investing in a portfolio of listed European property companies. KEPF is managed on the basis of a bottom-up stock picking approach.

The environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are incorporated in the investment process.

Developments per 2022-10-31
KEPF posted a positive absolute performance, and a strongly positive relative return in October. Cluster performance showed the UK (+6%) with the best absolute performance followed by the Nordics (+5%) and Euro Diversified cluster (+4%). The Euro Residential cluster (+0%) showed the lowest return in Europe, followed by Switzerland (+2%). Most positive cluster in terms of relative performance was the UK, however every cluster added to performance with KEPF having no detractor.
The month of October saw European listed real estate with an almost 4% total return, recovering some of the negative absolute performance seen in recent months. European government yields stabilized and did not continue their upward trend during the month, which was one element of relief. There was also limited (or surprising) news flow from central banks.
Equity markets in general recovered as well with the STOXX 600 returning >6%. YTD the listed real estate universe is underperforming the broader equity markets being down c33% compared to the STOXX 600 down c16%.
The Kempen real estate investment strategy strikes the balance between qualitative and quantitative analysis. Through application of data-analysis technology our Real Estate Team collects over 20 million relevant data points for >200,000 real estate buildings around the globe, processing this quantitative data in our data infrastructure and turning it into valuable fundamental investment information. The continuous increase in available data helps us make better assessments of the quality, value and risk of each real estate investment. This leads to better investment decisions and results in higher investment returns at lower risk for our clients.
Next to the quantitative approach the investment strategy contains three key qualitative parameters that determine the warranted valuation: management added value, balance sheet strength and ESG. The portfolio managers score each company covered on these three parameters. Companies that excel in ESG for example will be assigned a higher score and hence the warranted valuation for an investment increases.
Portfolio construction of the Strategy is based on cluster neutrality. The European portfolio has 5 clusters defined as homogeneous groups of real estate companies with similar underlying currency exposure. Examples are United Kingdom, European Residential and Switzerland. The portfolio weight of each cluster is approximately equal to the cluster’s benchmark weight. This ensures a diversified portfolio and neutralizes currency and macro-economic exposure versus the benchmark. KEPF assigns its risk budget on the real estate portfolio level only.
During the month we only made incremental changes to our existing holdings based on relative expected returns.

ESG Investment process
The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the consistent implementation of the funds ESG policy. The ESG policy is fully implemented in our strategy’s investment process across the three relevant pillars of: Exclusion, ESG integration and Active ownership.
In the investment process we assess the ESG profile of a company. We look at each company on a case-by-case basis, taking into account material risks in a given industry in combination with the company’s respective risk exposure, practices and disclosure. This includes an assessment of good governance practices. The investee companies are rated for governance aspects using external research as well as making internal assessments. Furthermore, we look into the company’s exposure to past controversies and future ESG opportunities. Based on the fundamental ESG analysis we form an opinion on the quality of a company’s ESG profile and award a score (1-5). We apply adequate due diligence measures when selecting the assets and such due diligence measures take into account sustainability risk and ESG related risks as it could help to enhance long-term risk adjusted returns for investors, in accordance with the investment objectives of the Fund.
