The International Property Securities Exchange (IPSX) is a new regulated stock exchange that will enable investors to trade shares in the owners/managers of single buildings or homogeneous, discrete property portfolios.
In 2019 IPSX was granted recognition by the Financial Conduct Authority to operate in the UK as a Recognised Investment Exchange, providing both real estate owners and investors with the protection of a regulated market.
Investors will be able to invest in listed companies that own individual real estate assets. For practical reasons (mainly sheer scale) this option has previously been only accessible to institutions and sovereign wealth funds.
This represents a genuine innovation for investors in UK real estate, one of four mainstream asset classes defined by market size and investment returns. Provision of a regulated public market in single asset company equities with clear rules and standards complements investment choices currently available.
- It gives asset owners access to an alternative capital markets product, which should expand the universe of potential investors.
- Investors seeking direct access to commercial property via a regulated public market should be attracted by robust market operational logistics, speed of execution and real time valuations.
We believe that companies listed on its exchange should have broad appeal to professional and retail investors with an interest in this asset class. They will provide a way to achieve fractional ownership of institutional grade properties with distinct risk profiles, lower volatility than less focused pooled investment vehicles listed on generalist exchanges, and better liquidity than direct investments and OEICs.
