The price is REIT: CNBC’s UK Exchange newsletter

The episodes where the powerful KKR receives a bloody nose are comprehensive elements – but we had one in the United Kingdom last week.

The private stock giant has been thwarted in an attempt to buy Assura, a real estate company that owns more than 600 surgeries and medical centers.

Instead, the shareholders accepted a competitive offer of 1.8 billion pounds ($ 2.4 billion) in cash and shares of primary health real estate (PHP), a counterpart from Assura, who is now the largest health care owner in the United Kingdom.

Regardless of the KKR modernity – which cooperated with Stonepeak, an investor in infrastructure – lost the battle of David and Goliath, there were many amazing elements in the competition, not the least of which is that the PHP acquisition is still facing scrutiny by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and monitors competition in the United Kingdom.

There was also the fact that by offering most of its offer in its shares, whose price fell at the end of the acquisition battle, PHP was actually a little less than the KKR and Stonepeak when investors had to make a decision.

The most surprising market that torments itself for years about canceling the equality after dozens of private deals, is that investors were happy to maintain a contribution to the expanded php, and accept the risk of implementation that comes with this seizure, rather than just taking KKR and Stonepeak.

This talks to a greater story – that the UK’s stock market investors have concluded assessments in the Rit (Real Estate Investment Fund) sector, which has become ridiculously low.

There was a feeling that KKR and Stonepeak were getting a neglitan deal and also that PHP, which was founded 30 years ago by the property businessman Harry Heman, who is still the company’s president, deserves the following support from the consistent performance.

It is apparent, Assura should be – and for this reason, PHP – a very proper investment.

As Britain’s national health service axes for preventive therapy and providing care for patients in their societies, and not in the city center hospitals, it is exposed to what should be a fast -expanding sector when the population is aging and where more patients have long -term medical needs.

This also means increasing dependence on private medicine – a great opportunity to work. Moreover, Assura – again, like PHP – has a very predictable cash flow.

Since Jonathan Murphy, CEO, who was observed in the annual report for the past month and his accounts: “The total contract of the contracting lease, a mixture of our rental list and the length of the rent, is 2.5 billion pounds, and the average period of uncomfortable rent (Hese) comes.

However, despite all this, Assura shares still changed their hands by 21 % discount on the net asset value (NAV) when KKR was first unveiled in February. This is great given the majority of its rents, which NHS pays, is actually secured by the government.

The opponent helps explain the KKR interest, but Assura is just one example. The Rit Sector in the UK has witnessed a wave of integration and acquisition over the past few years, as private stock buyers and buyers alike sought to obtain deals.

Among the most active, TRITAX Big Box Reit, owner of the owner of 3.4 billion pounds specialized in the logistical services sector with a group of large warehouses, but is now transferred to data centers. She caught her attention when she got the smaller business in the United Kingdom in February last year for 924 million pounds.

It seeks to continue this by acquiring the Warehouse Reit, although PHP with Assura faces competition from another private stock house in the United States in the form of Blackstone, which presented 489 million pounds to the company, still is a great discount on Nav Warehouse Rit.

In the same part of The Commial Property Jungle, there is another player who makes Waves is the ownership of Londonmetric, which apparently came from anywhere to become the second largest real estate company adapted in the United Kingdom and FTSE-100.

CT Property Trust bought for 199 million pounds in late 2003, after that last year with LXI acquisition of 1.9 billion pounds on LXI, the landowner of the land occupied by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers Parks.

Andrew Jones, co -founder and ambitious CEO, is now getting Urban Logistics Reit for 700 million pounds and smaller investments in HighCroft, and another Rit, for 44 million pounds.

Jones told Estates Gazette, the industrial Bible, in November of last year, that many smaller real estate investment funds – there was 19 in London at the time with a market for a market less than one billion pounds – was bad and that “owned by those who could withstand its costs, obtained the right classification, to do something about that.”

He added: “You have to ask what is the purpose of the small cover.” If you are less than a billion pounds and that is managed externally, I do not see where your future lies in the listed space. “

This opinion appears to be shared by an increasing number of investors of the company, which is ready to support the likes of Jones and Haiman.
