MGPA's investment approach begins with thorough research of the markets in which we operate. We monitor over 40 cities across Asia and Europe both from a macro- and micro- economic perspective, looking for trends that we believe will provide interesting and rewarding investment opportunities. This ongoing review gives us the flexibility to quickly adapt our investment approach and take full advantage of changing market conditions. This process, combined with our strong on-the-ground presence throughout Asia and Europe, allows us to identify the markets and opportunities most likely to deliver above-average returns. Such performance could be a result of cyclical developments such as the recovery of the Japanese economy, or structural changes created by one-time events, such as the introduction of the Euro. When we begin to examine a potential investment opportunity, we look at the ways in which we can add value. We take a hands-on approach to investment management, generally focusing on fixing and enhancing the assets to ensure we deliver maximum returns to our investors. There are many ways in which we can add value. Whether this involves applying a focused leasing and expense reduction strategy or undertaking development or redevelopment plans, a tailored plan is developed for each investment that identifies the key milestones and profit drivers to achieve the targeted result. In addition, our investment plans focus on driving returns through efficient capital and financial structuring. |
