Investment Philosophy & Approach

A keystone is the critical piece that holds an arch together, forming its strength and stability. Similarly, at Keystone Property Funds, our investment approach is founded on identifying and investing in core assets with essential ‘keystone’ features that underpin property value over time and drive stable returns through changing market conditions.

At Keystone Property Funds, capital preservation and valuation outcomes are at the forefront of our strategy. As such, we focus on identifying and securing high-quality assets in prime locations with essential, irreplaceable features that are intrinsically linked to market supply and demand.

These assets serve as the 'keystones' in our investment portfolio, forming its strength in providing premium returns and ensuring sustainable, long-term wealth for all stakeholders across generations.

With all opportunities, we ensure we have a high conviction to deliver on our strategy, which forms the foundation of our approach to protect and grow investor wealth while securing stable returns for future generations. All investment opportunities undergo a thorough due diligence process and are required to meet our highly selective investment criteria. Below is a sample of the critical questions we ask ourselves to ensure every asset demonstrates essential ‘keystone’ features:

  • Is there clear alignment in terms of capital commitment, investment timeline, and return objectives?

  • Does this investment offer a superior risk-to-reward ratio compared to alternative opportunities?

  • Can the property consistently deliver reliable returns, commensurate with its risk profile?

  • Is this property well-positioned to capitalise on current market cycles, offering potential for value appreciation and income growth as the market moves?

  • Do we have a high conviction to successfully execute on our acquisition, management and value-add strategies?

  • Does the location provide for a prime high demand area that supports sustainable tenant demand?

  • Does the property appeal to a diverse range of tenants, with favorable supply and demand dynamics both now and into the future?

  • How financially stable are the current tenants, and is there strong potential for market rent growth exceeding CPI, ensuring ongoing income stability?

  • Is the current use of the property considered the highest and best use?

  • Is there a clearly defined and viable exit strategy, with enough market liquidity to ensure the property can be sold at the right time to maximise returns?

  • Are we strategically leveraging a temporary market dip or upswing that aligns with long-term trends, ensuring optimal entry and exit points?
