NSR JV Plan

NSR announced a JV with GIC this week. Apparently transferring some of their growth development planning projects into 25/75 JV with GIC. I understand that this is a way to speed up their growth plans, maximise on their development skill/set & increase market share. The share market seems to approve to idea, so does MM have any thoughts on JV?

Answer

Hi Glenn,

Self-storage manager NSR announced a JV with Singapore Sovereign Wealth fund GIC to develop an initial portfolio of 10 assets, with the partnership planning to deploy $270m within the next 18 months.

NSR will own 25% of the venture but will act as the manager for the initial 5-year term.
NSR will reap $120m from asset sales into the fund, helping to reduce debt.
The deal shows plenty of interest in Australian storage assets and the announcement leaves the door ajar for a far bigger investment from the fund which controls ~$US750b.

We discussed NSR in Fridays webinar, it’s one of our top, albeit a conservative picks for MM view that global interest rates will decline through 2024/5. We like it and the level of DD conducted by GIC gives us more confidence in NSR’s operations.

Weekend Q&A: The ASX goes into holding pattern ahead of the EOFY

The ASX200 finished last week down 0.5% in a lacklustre period on the index level that was characterised by tight ranges with an overall net downside bias as the proverbial “Can” was kicked down the road in the Israel-Iran conflict. The ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East helped the energy sector advance by +5.3%, while the materials sector was the standout loser, driven by gold and iron ore names. Elsewhere, it felt like we were starting to see early signs of jockeying for the tax man and book ruling off into the EOFY.

The Match Out: ASX dips then bounces as Trump delays U.S involvement in the Middle East

It was a mixed day on the ASX today with half the main board higher/lower with the banks and materials sectors doing some damage early but the buy the dip mentality well and truly in play as we saw a significant grind higher through the session amounting to a +43pt move from the low of the day to the close.
