31 DECEMBER 2007 KINSMEN SECURITIES QUARTERLYREPORT Kinsmen delivers solid 07 results! Kinsmen Unlisted Property Trusts weather the credit crunch! Kinsmen Unlisted Property Trusts weather the credit crunch! The recent events in the US surrounding the sub prime mortgage collapse and the resulting squeeze in the capital markets has resulted in the listed property trust sector taking a battering over recent months. This is especially the case for REIT’s (Real Estate Investment Trusts) with high exposure to the US. Concerns about a slowing economy in the US and a possible recession along with the increased borrowing costs and changes to the exchange rate are causing a loss of value in US properties. This in turn means an erosion of returns to Australian Funds who have exposure in the US. As a result of multiple factors the REIT market has been very volatile over recent months. The Standard and Poors ASX 200 Property Trust Index was down by 8.41% for the 2007 calendar year. Kinsmen has in previous reports discussed the benefits of effective diversification via property. Investors should note that having investments in only REIT’s may not provide the effective diversification in property being sought. This is because in the listed environment investors are not only exposed to business risk, they also have to consider market risk. As the equity markets have seen a down turn so to has listed property. The following graph shows the performance of different sectors in property trusts for the 2007 calendar year and compares the performance of Kinsmen Property Funds. REITS vs Equities (All Ords index) Performance Comparison 2007 Calendar Year 80.00% 70.00% 60.00% 50.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% 0.00% Sep- Sep85 87 Sep89 Sep- Sep- Sep91 93 95 Sep97 Sep- Sep- Sep99 01 03 Sep- Sep05 07 ^ Benchmark for Kinsmen Diversified Property Fund is a 50/50 composite index using the S&P ASX 200 Property Index and the Mercer Unlisted Property Trust Index *Benchmark for the Direct Property Fund is the Mercer Unlisted Property Trust Index. This is also relevant for comparing the performance of The Kinsmen Adelaide Commercial Syndicate and The 309 Angas Street Property Trust. www.kinsmen.com.au The following chart further demonstrates the historic volatility of listed funds by showing the premium paid over net asset backing over time: As REIT’s are exposed to greater volatility, unlisted property trusts managed by reputable fund managers with proven track records can provide a more stable environment in which to invest in property and not necessarily at the expense of returns. “Unlisted Property Trust managed by reputable fund managers with proven track records can provide a more stable environment in which to invest in property and not necessarily at the expense of returns.” Official Cash Rate^ Credit Squeeze Continues Market Update The official cash rate increased when the RBA met in November 07 by 0.25% lifting to 6.75%. The RBA left rates on hold in December in light of the increased borrowing costs faced by the wholesale capital markets driven by the credit squeeze. GDP Growth^ Westpac Economics reported in quarter three of 2007 that the annual GDP growth was 4.3%, with activity up 1% in September 2007. The Westpac Melbourne Institute Leading Index which provides an indication of the likely pace of economic activity indicates a growth in GDP for 2008 of 4%. This level of activity serves to underpin a strong demand for property as business seeks to expand and exploit the opportunities in the market place. Construction and Housing^ New dwelling construction was slightly constrained during the last quarter, however activity is still up by 5% compared to a year ago. New dwelling approvals and renovations have been trending higher over the last few months which should convert into increased activity over the coming year. The continued increase in borrowing costs may negatively impact this upturn in approvals. In our previous quarterly report we discussed briefly the impact of the tightening credit markets in the US and potential impact on the price of debt. We also mentioned the need for fund managers to monitor their financing structures in seeking the best outcome for investors. The Reserve Bank of Australia commented late last year that “In Australia, the pressures arising from the global financial turmoil have been less pronounced than elsewhere and the flow of credit to sound borrowers does not appear to have been impaired. Nonetheless borrowing costs have risen appreciably since mid year, particularly with business borrowers.” This comment indicates that capital markets have driven the cost of debt up over the last few months and intermendaries such as non bank lenders and now banks have already started passing on the increase to borrowers. Since our last quarterly report, Kinsmen has undertaken a detailed review of debt financing structures used across all our managed funds. Kinsmen has structured it’s finance to hedge against further increases in borrowing costs where necessary. This will in turn hedge the returns to investors. ^Source: Westpac Economics property investment & delivery Your current Kinsmen investment opportunities Barossa Valley Opportunity Fund The Barossa Valley Country Club Villas A total of 158 spacious 4 star apartments Novotel Barossa Valley This sensational Barossa Valley development can never be repeated!
