Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust PLC - London and Johannesburg-listed property investor - Direct property portfolio is independently valued at €208.1 million as of the end of its financial second quarter on March 31, representing a marginal like-for-like decrease of 1.0% from €210.2 million at the end of the first quarter. This slight drop is driven by continued outward yield movement - meaning lower property prices compared to rents - particularly for offices and select retail. Notes that rental income has remained stable in the second quarter, with a continuing high level of rent collection, and the portfolio is benefiting from indexation and high occupancy of 96%

Schroder says it remains well positioned, with significant cash reserves. It continues to review select sustainability-led capital-expenditure initiatives in the portfolio, which it says should optimise earnings growth and asset liquidity.
