History and Market Background

The smaller investor has traditionally found it difficult to directly invest in the asset class of prime commercial property, either because his funds were insufficient to acquire the asset, or, if sufficient, might expose him entirely to one property.

In 1990 in response to the unprecedented buying opportunities then available in the weakest property investment market of the Post-War period, Ratcliffes began to explore the possibilities of property investment purchase through tax-transparent syndication.

Performance

Since 1991 some 200 properties have been purchased within Ratcliffes’ syndicated investment structures.  Our audited returns over the sixteen year period from our first syndicate resale in 1991 to 2006, confirm that 130 properties in 103 syndicates have been sold, with all Syndicates returning profits to date.  Over an average ownership period of 3.59 years our Investors have received an averaged return on their invested capital of almost 93% with an averaged annual compound return of almost 27%.

We currently manage some 65 syndicated investment properties with a total value circa £150 million on behalf of some 250 investors, some 40% of whom invest through their Personal Pension Schemes.
