Major shareholder puts Fat Prophets property LIT in play
Lanyon Asset Management, which owns 31 per cent of FPP, is bitterly disappointed by what it deems “abysmal performance” and the LIT trading at a “perpetual discount to its asset base”.
Lanyon is set to call a meeting to wind up the trust after requesting the unitholder register. The $13.9 million fund invests in an actively-managed portfolio of diversified global real estate investment trusts.
The manager is well within its rights to call for a meeting as a 31 per cent shareholder. It will all come down to a vote requiring 50 per cent of shareholder to vote in favour.
Over the past three years, the Fat Prophets LIT has traded at an average discount of 14.3 per cent to NTA, according to data from Independent Investment Research. Today, it trades around a 25 per cent discount to its 83¢ NTA at 69¢, according to Morningstar May-end data.
It first listed in 2017 at $1.10 per unit and has delivered one-year returns (traded price) of negative 9.2 per cent and 5-year returns of negative 3 per cent, Morningstar data shows. For comparison, ASX300 REIT Total Return Index returned negative 3.6 per cent over the year to 31 May and 4.4 per cent over five-years.
