The UK Investor Magazine was thrilled to be welcomed by Robert Hudson, Chief Financial Officer of Grainger PLC, to explore recent developments at the FTSE 250 build-to-rent specialist.
We start by looking at the group’s transition from a trading company to a REIT and the tax benefits for investors. Taking a broad view of Grainger’s proposition to investors, Rob notes the ability of retail investors to gain exposure to the UK rental market through an ISA by buying Grainger shares.
Grainger’s total rental income is up 15% in the early stage of their financial year. We look at the factors driving growth and the momentum the company is building in the build-to-rent sector.
We explore Grainger’s 5,000 property pipeline and the expected uplift in earnings.
Rob outlines the technological capabilities of the business and how the company’s CONNECT platform is designed to facilitate future growth and improved margins.
We discuss Grainger’s dividend track record and how the dividend will evolve as Grainger transitions to a REIT.
Rob finishes by detailing what excites him the most about the year ahead.
