Structural Constraints in Property Portfolios
Control, flexibility and transferability
Across private organisations, family offices, institutions, and corporate balance sheets, property portfolios held in a variety of structures put together inefficiently over time. While these assets hold significant investment value, their structure can limit flexibility, making repositioning and capital allocation slow and complex. Partial disposals are complex and may impact timing and long-term value. Conventional REIT structures require full surrender of asset-level governance. The underlying challenge is therefore not simply generating returns, but the ability to manage control, trust, and liquidity in a way that supports long-term strategic intent.

A Modern REIT Platform
Ringfenced, regulated listed framework
The fund provides a REIT platform to private companies and groups, including regulatory governance within a listed framework. iGroup transitions qualifying property assets into regulated listed structures while preserving current owners’ asset-level governance through a ring-fenced REIT framework. Shareholders of specific assets retain key decision making in their investment.
Platform Principles
Structural foundations
Ring-Fenced Architecture
Risk separation
Each asset is held within a dedicated ring-fenced structure, isolating performance and risk at asset level while maintaining consolidated reporting across the platform.
Simplified Ownership Transfer
REIT Framework
Assets transition into listed structures in a controlled manner, allowing taxes to efficiently flow through to individual REIT shareholders, and simplifying the transfer of ownership.
Governance-Led Structure
Board oversight
The platform operates under disciplined governance across fund and asset-level structures, defined accountability ensuring alignment, transparency and compliance.
Outcomes of the Platform
